During the meeting with the embassy delegates, the refugee representatives presented the crises faced by the refugees and durable solutions to the problems. They also raised the issue of the military assaults conducted on the Rohingya civilians in Arakan State of Myanmar. The US Embassy delegates told the refugees they are discussing the issues with Burmese authorities and assured that they are in the process of finding durable solutions. *************************** The Border Guard Police (BGP) arrested a mentally challenged teenage boy Mohammed Shafi from Gi-Kan-Piyin (Hawar Bil) on Wednesday. The village administrator of the village, Ko Phyoe, a Rakhine Magh extremist, is misusing him as a witness of the October 9 raid on the BGP Headquarter to make an arbitrary arrest list of innocent Rohingya civilians. According to a local resident, the arrest list has already been pre-decided by the Rakhine administrator and he is just using the mentally challenged boy to prove to his arrest list true.
