Myanmar Navy Fires on Boat Carrying Hundreds of Muslims — Over 10 Seriously Injured, All Detained

-

 


According to a recent report by the Global Arakan Network, the navy of the ruling junta in Myanmar opened fire on a boat transporting about 400 Muslims who were attempting to flee refugee camps in Bangladesh and travel to Malaysia. 

The group allegedly departed from Teknaf, Bangladesh, on November 20. The next day, on November 21, while sailing through the Bay of Bengal, their vessel was spotted and intercepted by the Myanmar Navy. Gunfire was reportedly directed at the boat, resulting in more than 10 serious injuries among those on board. 

After the attack, all passengers were detained and forcibly taken to Sittwe — the capital of Rakhine State. There has been no public confirmation regarding the condition of the detainees, their legal status, or whether any have been released. 

This incident underscores the grave danger faced by displaced Muslims — many from refugee camps — as they attempt perilous sea routes to escape persecution and seek refuge abroad. The use of lethal force and mass detention raises serious concerns about human rights violations and the treatment of vulnerable migrants by state actors.

  Following the devastating impact of Cyclone Mocha and recent severe flooding, the United League of Arakan (ULA) medical teams have been actively providing essential healthcare services across villages in Rakhine State.

Ancient Buddhist Kingdom Under Siege by Jihadist Movements

-
The narrative "Arakan - Ancient Buddhist Kingdom, Endangered by Jihad" portrays Arakan (Rakhine State, Myanmar) as a historic Buddhist kingdom with a centuries-old cultural heritage, now threatened by jihadist violence, primarily from the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA) and other Rohingya militant groups. It alleges these groups have engaged in violent campaigns since 1942, including massacres, arson, and ethnic cleansing targeting Buddhists, Hindus, and other minorities, with the goal of establishing an Islamic state. Highlighting events like the 2017 massacre of 99 Hindus, the account claims these actions endanger Arakan’s religious and cultural identity, framing the conflict as part of a broader extremist agenda. https://x.com/ArakanBaynews/status/1896597827733864845
