Military Captain Arbitrarily Levy on Rohingya Fishermen

 A newly appointed military captain at the camp located to the south of ‘Kodan Kauk’ Rakhine village summoned the Rohingya fishermen in ‘Angu Maw,’ ‘Kodan Kauk’ and ‘Shil Khali’ villages in Rathedaung on March 11, 2016.

In the meeting, the captain (of the camp, a camp under the commandment of Kyauk Pandu Military Battalion in southern Maungdaw) imposed inconsiderably high amount of duty charges on each of the Rohingya boat.

He imposed Kyat 20,000 each on a Peddle Boat, Kyat 50,000 each on an engine boat and Kyat 80,000 each on a big fishing trawler per outing to the sea respectively. He further ordered that the charges must be paid by 30th March or otherwise, there will be interest charged on the levies along with the punishments for the fishermen.
