Bangladesh army detains 2 indigenous Chakma Buddhists in Khagrachari

On 7 Nov. 1989, Bangladesh army from the Zonal Head Quarter at Khagrachari led by Major Habib raided the indigenous Buddhist village Harinath Para in Khagrachari. Bangladesh army arrested 2 indigenous Chakma Buddhists on a false allegation of helping the Shanti Bahini. The arrested persons are being detained at Zonal Head Quarter in Khagrachari. The victims are:

1. Mr. Sukra Chandra Chakma, 60 yrs, son of Mr. Guptamani Chakma, of Harinath Para, Khagrachari.
2. Mr. Prakriti Ranjan Chakma, 20 yrs, son of Mr. Sukra Chandra Chakma, address as above.

India was partitioned on the basis of religion in 1947. 98.5% of the CHT population was non-Muslim during the partition. The indigenous people of CHT opted to join either India or Burma. But Muslim League conspired with the Boundary Commission and illegally annexed CHT with East Pakistan in violation of the principle of partition. Successive Bangladesh governments have been sponsoring Muslim settlers from plain land to dilute the indigenous people of CHT.

Bangladesh army's role in CHT is to protect the Muslim settlers and carry out massacre, extra-judicial killing, torture, detention withou trial, land grab, rape, religious persecution and ethnic cleansing against indigenous Buddhist, Hindu and Animist people in CHT.
