Bengali settler attempt to rape an indigenous Marma girl in Lama

On 9 January 2014, a Muslim settler attempted to rape a 13-year-old indigenous Marma girl in Lama of Bandarban district. Her brother filed a case at the local police station. Local Awami League leaders allegedly arranged an arbitration and fined the perpetrator Tk. 15,000 and got him released from police custody.

India was partitioned on the basis of religion in 1947. 98.5% of the CHT population was non-Muslim in 1947. 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 is to protect the Muslim settlers and carry out ethnic cleansing against indigenous people in CHT.

Bangladesh army and Muslim settlers use rape as a tool to terrorize the indigenous people of Chittagong Hill Tracts. Bangladesh army is involved in rape, murder, torture and land grabbing in Chittagong Hill Tracts. Bangladesh army is driving out indigenous people from Chittagong Hill Tracts and settling Muslim settlers in their villages. Their aim is to Islamize Chittagong Hill Tracts by rape and terror.
