THE MOST FALSE, ONE-SIDED, BULLSHIT FAKE NEWS,

PROPAGANDA ABOUT THE so-called ‘ROHINGYA’

THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN

My tear-down of the Report titled

“THEY GAVE THEM LONG SWORDS” by Matthew Smith
and his Islamic Propaganda Group - Fortify Rights
known to critics as Falsify Right?

I have plenty of REAL EVIDENCE to prove his evil agenda:

Interrogations of captured ‘Rohingya’ Militants, photos, videos, and

interviews on film in Rakhine State, INCLUDING, my 2 times in the restricted
zones of Maungdaw, Buthidaung and Rathedaung.

by Rick Heizman, June 24, 2018, San Francisco

This ‘report’ is SO wrong, atrocious, despicable, counterfactual, odious, repugnant and

abhorrent. This report by Matthew Smith represents the worst of ‘fake new’ constructed to
demonize and dehumanize, in this case, ALL the non-Muslims of the land in question - to
shape popular opinion against them to the point where the disappearance of these people -
by way of a massive GENOCIDE and ETHNIC CLEANSING would be acceptable to the world
- if evil forces, like Smith, succeed. The true perpetrators, the Bengali Muslims (known to
many by the fake political construct of ‘Rohingya’) with 1500 years of Islamic conquest and
genocide behind them, would then occupy the land, as their goal was and is, declare it an
autonomous islamic State, with no non-Muslims living there - a Sharia ruled, apartheid land,
with no diversity, no progress, no development, no women rights, death for homosexuals,
death for apostasy, death for blasphemy, etc. Then, in a matter of years they can start the
next wave of 1500 years of conquest and genocide as they attack and seize chunks of
Buddhist Myanmar, eventually all of it, destroying every Buddha statue in sight. And, the
sickening thing is that there are truly evil people who support this - like Matthew Smith.

SO - LET’S GO THROUGH SOME OF IT TO SEE THE MANIPULATIVE FAKERY HERE!

1
I WILL QUOTE FROM THE REPORT (BS), AND ANSWER IN BLUE (TRUTH)

IS CONFLICT JIHADIST AND SEPARATIST?

BS: “Fortify Rights documented no evidence that ARSA had jihadist or separatist aims.”

TRUTH: Earth to Smith? Have

you not seen the many ARSA
videos, in which I had the
Bengali language translated
and subtitled the videos?
Nearly everything they say is
Islamic rehtoric, including
endless, “ALLAHU AKBAR”
praises to ALLAH, ‘ISLAM
ZINDABAR’ (Islam forever) etc.
Ata Ullah and others shout for
all Muslims to join the JIHAD!
Here is Ata Ullah, in one of his
many rants, translated from
Bengali, ““My Rohingya
brothers, I am requesting you,
if you want to save Islam, if
you want to save the land of
At the bottom it says, “In the hame of Allah,
Arakan living inside Arakan, if you the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful”
want to save the honor of the
mothers and sisters of Arakan, if you
want to save all the masjid (mosques) and madrassas (Islamic schools) of Arakan from
destruction, then, my special request to you, Please listen to me with attention. Please, join
us. Please take part in this great Jihad with us.”

In another rant, “I repeat, you will never die if Allah doesn’t want you to die. No one has the
power to take your life except Allah. So, please join us. I am asking the Islamic scholar
society who are reluctant to follow the fatwa of Jihad. My brothers who are experts in
Hadith, (accounts of the prophet Muhammad’s life) please join us. If you act upon Jihad
fatwa, Jihad will be established in Arakan. I urge you to join us. And please start giving the
fatwa of Jihad. Please don’t hide yourselves, please, join us. Please join us to establish
Jihad in the land of Arakan. I am speaking to all Rohingya brothers and Muslim Ummah
around the world. Please prepare for Jihad and come here. The fighting can start now, today.
If we don’t get our rights, if 1 million, 1.5 million, if all Rohingya need to die, we will die.”

2
 In a clever move to rally the local ‘Rohingya’ Bengalis, and
especially the greater Muslim world, Atta Ullah sought
RELIGIOUS LEGITIMACY for the attacks. Harakah al-Yaqin
(pre-ARSA Arabic name) prompted senior ‘Rohingya’
Bengali clerics and foreign clerics to rule that, given the
(perceived) persecution Muslims face in Rakhine State, the
campaign to fight the security forces is legal by ISLAMIC
LAW, and therefore anyone opposing it is blasphemous by
the TENETS OF ISLAM. FATWAS (Islamic religious rulings) to
this effect were obtained, in many countries with significant
‘Rohingya’ Bengali diaspora, including Saudi Arabia, Dubai,
Pakistan, India and Bangladesh. The group also has a senior
ISLAMIC SCHOLAR with it in Maungdaw, a ‘Rohingya’
Bengali from SAUDI ARABIA, known as Mufti Ziabur
Rahman, who brings religious legitimacy to operations and
has authority to issue FATWAS.

How can Smith possibly not see JIHAD? Even my dog can see that! And, why does Smith try
so desperately to make people think that there is no separatist aim? EVERY ARSA video and
prisoner interrogation tells us again and again that their goal, as taught by every Mawlawi
(Bengali term for Imam), in every mosque, is to KILL all non-Muslims in a GENOCIDAL
ETHNIC CLEANSING, seize the land, and declare an Islamic State! They are very clear that
they do NOT want to be ruled by infidel Buddhists.

The one single time the word Jihad is used in this 162 page report is in that singular
sentence above. That is offensive, and deliberate, and exposes Matthew Smiths real agenda
- not investigating Human Rights, but abetting the Islamization of Buddhist and Hindu
Cultures, without the slightest concern about the non-Muslim victims.

The 162 page report does NOT even talk about ISLAM, ISLAMIC TERRORISM, nor ISLAMIC
AGENDA. Islam IS the driving negative force in this conflict. This is a HUGE and
DELIBERATE attempt by Smith to divert attention from reality, and so that the world opinion
would be led to conclude that the angelic Muslims were being cruelly and horrifically abused
and killed for no reason what-so-ever, by wild bestial sub-humans who have nothing of value
for the world, and should be disposed of.

Question for Matthew Smith: If the Muslims had been successful in their goal of wiping out
the entire non-Muslim population of the land in question, and seized it and declared it an
autonomous Islamic State, would he object to that result, and the manner in which that result
was obtained?

 DESCRIPTIONS OF THE NON-MUSLIMS

BS: “The Buddhist community in northern Rakhine State includes ethnic Rakhine as well as
Mro, Marama Gyi, Daignet, and others. Hindus, Chin Christians, and other religious
minorities comprise a smaller population of northern Rakhine State.”

TRUTH: That is the extent of the information about the indigenous and dominant Buddhist
culture in Rakhine State - the legacy of the great Buddhist Kingdom of Arakan.
UNBELIEVABLE that Smith - in 162 pages - does not say anything more than that, about the
Rakhine Buddhists, the Hindu minority, and the ethnic tribal people that also are indigenous
to the land of Arakan. BUT, that is not surprising, because Smith’s has NEVER allowed
Human Rights Watch (when he worked for them) nor his own Fortify Rights group to EVER
mention ANYTHING positive about the Rakhine Buddhists and mention NOTHING AT ALL
about the Hindus, and ethnic minorities - because - Smith would rather have the world
public NOT EVEN KNOW about these people, against whom a real and actual GENOCIDE IS
HAPPENING. The much smaller populations of the ethnic tribal peoples have suffered MANY
KILLINGS by the Muslims - a much higher proportion of the population, and are indeed in
great danger of being wiped out COMPLETELY by the videos and violent Muslims against
whom they have no defense.

DESCRIPTION OF THE ‘ROHINGYA’

BS: “The Rohingya are an officially unrecognized indigenous ethnic group who are primarily
Muslim and have traditionally lived in the westernmost Rakhine State. Given that the
Rohingya have a unique language and culture, and both the perpetrators of the crimes as
well as the Rohingya themselves view and treat the Rohingya as a distinct group, the
Rohingya constitute a protected group as articulated by the Genocide Convention.

TRUTH: First, the use of indigenous is wrong - the Arakanese / Rakhine Buddhists are the
indigenous population residing in their very deeply rooted ancestral, cultural, and actual
homeland. And, some of the ethnic tribal people are also indigenous.

The so-called ‘Rohingya’ are Chittagonian dialect, Bengali language speaking Bengali
Muslims, who are the same people whether they have resided on one side or the other side
of the Naf River. DNA testing can easily prove it. ALL Bengali / Bangladeshi or Bengali
Muslims living in India share the same ANCESTRAL and CULTURAL HOMELAND - which is
historic Bengal - present day Bangladesh.

Think about this, Smith: if the Bengali Muslims had succeeded in 1947, with their demand
and ultimatum to break off from Burma and join the newly created Pakistan (east Pakistan
later became Bangladesh) they would have never needed to declare themselves ‘Rohingya’!
Prior to the 1950s the term ‘Rohingya’ was not used at all! They would have been one giant
family of Bengalis - if later they changed their identity to ‘Rohingya’ it would have been
disastrous!

 THE TRIBAL MRO PEOPLE

BS: “Mohammed Rafiq identified

Rakhine as well as ethnic Mro
civilians who attacked his village
alongside Myanmar Army soldiers on
August 30. Mohammed Rafiq, said:
“Army soldiers brought the Mro
people from the hillside. Before the
violence took place, the Rakhine and
military took the Mro people and kept
them in the Rakhine village. We know the Mro because we had some dealings with them in
the mountainside—they have long hair and wear it in a knot behind their head.”

On the same day of the violence, the Rakhine and Mro arrived. Army soldiers gave them long
swords. One [Muslim] survivor said he also saw ethnic Kamwe—a small ethnic hilltribe in
northern Rakhine State—supporting the military in the attack on Tula Toli village: “They live in
the mountains with the Mro people. They were stabbing and cutting people.”

TRUTH: This is truly GROSS and SICKENING. Matthew Smith, in all his reports, NEVER
mentions the ethnic tribal people, because he does not want ANYBODY in the world to have
ANY KNOWLEDGE or SYMPATHY for them. I have been, twice, into the restricted areas of
Maungdaw, Buthidaung and Rathedaung - with free access and no restrictions - traveled by
land and boat for 5 days each time, and I visited many Mro refugee camps, in northern
Rakhine State. These people, and other tribes are truly endangered of extinction because of
the Muslims genocidal Quran-inspired hatred and supremacy. They are defenseless, and
because of that they were killed often, in their mountain habitats, as Muslims were
encroaching upon their land. This is the FIRST time that I have EVER seen reference of the
Mro, Kamwe, or any other tribal minorities switched from VICTIM to PERPETRATOR - based
on NO evidence, NO photos, NO common sense. Smith makes it sound like the Army
KIDNAPPED the Mro and kept them in a Rakhine village! Reality is that the Army RESCUED
Mro fleeing from slaughter and villages torched by Muslims, and they stayed with Rakhine
villagers for safety. If the army gave them swords (as Smith alleges) it was a WISE and
PROPER thing to do, so that they would have some means to PROTECT THEMSELVES!

THE TRIBAL PEOPLES ARE ACTUALLY

VERY SOFT, QUIET, PEACEFUL,
GENTLE PEOPLE, WHO DON’T EVEN
KNOW HOW TO FIGHT WELL! THEY
ARE NOT AT ALL THE VIOLENT PEOPLE
THAT SMITH WOULD LIKE YOU TO
BELIEVE!

5
 HINDUS, THE MASSACRES OF HINDUS, KHA MAUNG SEIK

BS: “Rashida”, 50, watched as Myanmar Army and Lon Htein soldiers dragged her two adult
sons from her home in Kha Maung Seik village—also known as Fora Bazaar—in Maungdaw
Township on August 27.

On September 30, 2017, “Rashida”, a 50-year-old Rohingya woman from Kha Maung Seik
village in Maungdaw Township told Fortify Rights how police massacred men, women, and
children beginning on Sunday, August 27 around 10 a.m.:

“Yunus”, a prominent Rohingya member of the community in Kha Maung Seik village in
Maungdaw Township, described how ARSA tried to recruit fighters in their village during the
early morning on August 25. He said: “The violence started at 1:20 a.m. On that night [August
25], the al Yaqin group split in different groups and moved around the area. They were
requesting people to come out of the villages to join with them. The people were afraid and
going into the forest . . . [al Yaqin] showed us a bomb, but they couldn’t persuade the people
of the village. They could persuade only the wayward people, the goons, to participate in
their mission. There were around seven fighters.”

TRUTH: First, throughout the report Smith constantly recycles the interviews he did, giving
the lengthy report the perception that is is filled with a large number of interviews. Witness
the first two sentences above.

Kha Maung Seik is the place where the huge and

horrible MASSACRE of around 100 HINDUS who
were rounded up, tortured, SAVAGELY
EXECUTED and dumped into pre-dug mass grave
pits. It has been widely documented, and is the
only ‘massacre’ in the conflict with actual
BODIES, FACTS, and REAL WITNESSES - who
themselves were KIDNAPPED, FORCED TO
CONVERT TO ISLAM, TAKEN TO BANGLADESH,
FORCED TO INCRIMINATE BUDDHISTS UNDER THREAT OF DEATH - and is known to
nearly everyone. HOWEVER, SMITH HAS NEVER ACKNOWLEDGED IT, NOT EVEN
INVESTIGATED IT, WILL NOT EVEN SAY THAT IT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED!

In his report, he clumsily tries to trick people by MENTIONING KHA MAUNG SEIK - BUT
WITH NO MENTION OF HINDUS AT ALL! AND, HE SUBSTITUTES A DIFFERENT AND
OPPOSITE MASSACRE BY FALSELY STATING A FAKE MASSACRE BY BUDDHISTS
AGAINST ‘ROHINGYA’ MUSLIMS - THEREBY OBFUSCATING THE TRUE MASSACRE THAT
DID TAKE PLACE THERE!

6
 Smith should be arrested and tried for CRIMES AGAINST
HUMANITY: DEMONIZATION AND DEHUMANIZATION OF A
PEOPLE, FALSELY, FOR THE PURPOSE OF FOMENTING
HATRED OF A PEOPLE IN ORDER TO ELIMINATE THEM BY ANY
MEANS.

In the last BS paragraph above, Smith, again, tries to conceal the Hindu Massacre with a
totally unbelievable story about how ARSA militants came to the villages of Kha Maung Seik,
to get villagers to join them in attacking non-Muslims that evening, and that they only were
able to convince 7 ‘WAYWARD GOONS’ to join them. By saying ‘WAYWARD GOONS’ he is
unskillfully attempting to minimize the huge numbers of participants in the attacks by
insinuating that the few ‘local crazy guys’ armed with sharpened tooth brushes joined the
militants. Perhaps Smith has intentionally never viewed the many ARSA videos, that show
hundred of militants at times, and multiple by the number of targets easily reached
4000-8000 attackers intending to carry out the systematic plan to kill as many infidels as
possible, in a WANTON GENOCIDAL ETHNIC CLEANSING.

Matthew Smith has clearly shown he has NO respect of Hindus, NO sympathy for their
suffering at the hand of the Muslims, and NO intent of investigating ANY crimes against the
Hindus.

—————————————————————————————————————

MAUNGDAW TOWN - HINDUS AND BUDDHISTS SETTING FIRES?

BS: “The military watched as the Hindus and Rakhine set fires. I think they used a piece of
tire with petrol poured on it, and they threw them onto the roofs of the houses. Both Rakhine
and Hindu were throwing them. They burned down all of Ward 5 in this way . . . The Hindu
also took the property of people.”

TRUTH: That is such bullshit slander. Here are excerpts from one of dozens of captured
Bengali Muslim militants, a prisoner named Anna War:
NRC No. - 11/MaTaNa (Ya) 000012
Subject of Investigation…Maungdaw Mro Ma Police Station (pa) 206/2017. Attack SB50 (Ka)
Investigation Date / Place - Sept 9, 2017 / Maungdaw Police Station

“Everytime we went to the mosque, Mawlawi [Imam] Haface Gira Man, told us “Muslim
people must be united, and gather all kinds of weapons, and whenever you have a chance,
you all have the opportunity to attack all the border guards, and police outposts, and kill
everyone who is non-Muslim and set fire to whole villages. You all need to participate”.

7
On August 28, 2017, at 11:00 in the morning, Mawlawi Haface Gira Man, called a meeting all
the men in the village, and he said “Tonight we will go set fire to Hindu villages in Mro Ma
east blocks”. On the same day, about 3:00 in the afternoon, Mawlawi Haface Gira Man
called a meeting again, so I prepared and brought five beer cans filled with gasoline and
some cotton on the top ready to light up and throw into a crowd of people, or houses.
There were people who came along with me from the same village, Raw Chee (40), son of Arli
Juhad, Adu Houd (50), son of Eili Juhut, Pi Chay (30), son of Ka Tura, Adu La (40), (don’t
know name of his father), and another 10 people came along with me to the meeting.
We were led by Mawlawi Haface Gira Man, and we all went to set the Hindu villages on fire.
When we got there in the darkness Mawlawi Haface Gira Man started to light up the gasoline
bombs and we threw them into the Hindu houses. After a few houses were raging with
flames, and the fire continued house to house, we all ran back to our village. I do not know
how many houses were burned down by us that night.”

Matthew Smith! I repeatedly told you about the type of evidence I have collected, like this,
and you COMPLETELY IGNORED my requests to communicate, and my repeated offers to
share the wealth of evidence I have with you. YOU are vying to convict not only individuals,
but also the whole collective populations of Rakhine Buddhists, Burmese Buddhists, the
Hindus, and the tribal minorities - WITHOUT EXAMINING ALL THE EVIDENCE AVAILABLE -
and that itself is criminal and vile. YOU SHOULD IMMEDIATELY WITHDRAW THE REPORT
AND REWRITE IT, AND INCLUDE THE EVIDENCE THAT I HAVE OFFERED TO YOU MANY
TIMES - IF NOT, YOU WILL FACE ME AND OTHERS WITH REAL CHARGES OF CRIMES
AGAINST HUMANITY.

Once again, this is the first instance that I have heard of HINDUS doing ANY sort of violence
towards anybody in this conflict. And, I will say that the survivors of the brainwashed
savagely supremacist attack that Anna War described would NOT be wrong in driving those
intolerant attackers away by any means - especially because these non-Muslims have had to
endure this kind of Islamic
Jihadist Terrorism again Smashed Hindu deities
and again and again -
and that is true for the
Rakhine Buddhists as
well - when your village is
infested with poisonous
vicious snakes

it is not easy at all do get

rid of them - if one is not
thorough enough they
will multiply quickly and
return with a vengeance.

8
 NO TRAINING?, NO GUNS?

BS: “We didn’t receive any training, but

we were told we would be trained soon.
Then the violence happened. We were
told we would be trained with guns. We
were told the guns would come soon.”

“We were told that there would be some

more members coming from outside the
country with guns and that we had to go
with them and support them. I don’t know
why they didn’t come. I didn’t see anyone
with guns.”

“Abdul Ghani”, another member of ARSA, told Fortify Rights what

happened during the early morning of August 25 near his village in
Maungdaw Township. He said: We weren’t given anything. Senior
members [of ARSA] woke us up around 3:30 a.m. on the Friday
before last [August 25]. These members told us we had to join in
the attack. They said it had already started, and we had to join.
We asked them, ‘With what will we join [with]?’ They said,
‘Whatever you have, sticks or knives, whatever you have.’ They
didn’t have any guns.”

TRUTH: Even my dog, or anybodies dog can see the 100s or 1000s of photos and videos
that completely contradict that absurdity. Smith? How stupid do you think everybody is?

Of COURSE they wanted MORE and MORE GUNS - ALL ISLAMIC JIHAD TERRORISTS
want as many guns as possible - I would say THEY LOVE GUNS MORE THAN THEIR OWN
WIVES AND CHILDREN! It is a very good thing that they DID NOT HAVE more guns, right? I
would also say that Smith obviously would have been happy IF THEY HAD ENOUGH GUNS
TO WIN THE WAR - BY EXTERMINATING EVERY SINGLE NON-MUSLIM!

9
Smith is always clumsily switching things, such as: avoiding ANY mention of documented
systematic planning and training by the Muslims - which has been systematic and well-
planned time and time again for 75 years of Muslim aggression, while always barking that the
Burmese army planned all of this violence. WHEN A COUNTRY IS UNDER ATTACK, as
Myanmar has been in 2017, 2016, 2012, and many more times, THE ARMY OF ANY
COUNTRY ON EARTH WOULD HAVE THE DUTY TO TRAIN AND PREPARE FOR THE NEXT
ATTACKS, AND WHEN ATTACKED, TO PROTECT, RESCUE, AND AID THE CITIZENS
(everybody except Bengali Muslims) AND HUNT DOWN, DRIVE AWAY, CAPTURE, KILL,
AND ELIMINATE THE ENEMY (the Muslims) to the point where it can not happen again. I
would say that the Army failed on the last point I made - and next time the Muslims attack
the Army has to be MUCH MORE THOROUGH - so that this can NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN. IT
MUST BE UNCONDITIONAL - THE WAY THAT THE USA DEALT WITH JAPAN AND
GERMANY.

10
 THREATENING TAUNTS:
BS: Recently, when we went to the market, Rakhine would say, ‘What are you doing here?
You can’t stay in this country. This is ours.’

TRUTH: That is completely backwards. Buddhists, Hindua, Christians and Jews, have been
the ones that Muslims disparage with hateful and threatening talk. This is one of the main
complaints that Burmese Buddhists, and Rakhine Buddhists, and all other non-Muslims
endure now, and have endured historically back to the days of Islam’s founder. It was noted
by the Portuguese priest Sebastian Manrique in the early 1600s, when he lived in Arakan for
8 years, and wrote about the character of the bothersome Muslim minority:

“The Mogors [Muslims] were not only enemies of Christianity. For they desired to extirpate it
wholly from the Orient, where there should be none but Mussuleymans, followers of the
precepts of the evil and false Alcoran [The Quran]. For whence they are called Mussulamans
or Mussuleymans, which according to the interpretation of the most learned expounders of
their Alcoran [Quran] means: Nos autem genus electum, regale sacerdotium, gens sancta,
populous acquisitionis. [We are indeed a chosen race, a royal authority of Mullahs, a sacred

11
nation, a people reserved by Allah to Himself.] Steeped as they are in false doctrine,
whenever they desire to show warrant for their faith or to justify themselves before a Christian
or a Heathen, they say, swelling with pride and vanity, “I am a Mussulman”; this appears to
these dogs ample justification. Such is the blindness of these Barbarians that they style us
Christians Caffares [from Arabic Kafir. a harshly derogatory term for infidels or unbelievers)
which means, “A people without faith”.

I have heard threatening taunts from the Muslims, to the Buddhists and others, on videos
and described in interviews, for so long, that I started listing them years ago. Of course, they
are shouted in Bengali language, which is not understood by Burmese, or anyone else,
however, Bengali Buddhist or Bengali Hindu translators speak the language and therefore
translate it. Buddhists who live in or very near Bengalis usually know the terrifying meaning
of many of the taunts. A partial list:

Islam Forever! - Islam Zindabar!

Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar! - God (Allah) is Great! God is Great!
Cut the necks of all Rakhine! - Maug hara kiri!
You Rakhine must die, this land is for us Rohingya.
Get out of here now, leave everything you own, because it is ours.
Now can your Buddha protect you?
We will take over all of Myanmar, you infidels will all be dead.
Rakhine is our country, Rakhine is ours.
All of you Rakhine men will die, and your wives will be ours.
You don't believe Allah, so you must die this way.
We are going eat you, so fatten up with more rice.
The U.N. is ours, we Muslims lead the the U.N.
The U.N. helps us. Do you ever get anything from the U.N.?
You Rakhine are expecting Burmese to help you, but the world is helping us.
We will wash our feet with your blood.
If you don''t follow Islam you must die.
Don't you dare come back to this land.
When Burmese soldiers leave we will come and eat you.
Our relatives around the world support us, who is supporting you?
The U.N. will give us brick houses, when U.N. comes they have nothing for you.
We will kill each and every Rakhine everywhere.
If you want to come back here you will die.
You will be just bones.
These rice fields, these house, this land is for us, not you.
Allah is number one. Allah Bless Us! Allah Bless Us!
500 of our men are training and will come back here to kill you.

12
 CHUT PYIN:

BS: In Chut Pyin village in Rathedaung Township on August 27, Myanmar Army soldiers shot
rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs) at homes to burn them down, and soldiers corralled a
group of men and boys into a thatch-roof hut and set the hut on fire, burning the group alive.
“We know the people who came with the army” said “Abdul Rahman” an eyewitness and
survivor of a Myanmar Army-led massacre in Chut Pyin village—also known as So Farang—
“They were Rakhine from a neighboring village. I know them well. I could recognize them. The
army shot people and then the Rakhine cut them. All the houses were burned down. Not
even a single house is left standing.” Three days later, he told Fortify Rights: “The military
took and arrested around 50 people. They brought them to the military camp . . . and set fire
to where they kept them. One was my own brother. There was a small hut, and they put all
the people in there and set it on fire. They shot a launcher at the hut [where they held the
detainees].”

TRUTH: The biggest problem with this non-‘massacre’ is this:

The interrogations of captured ARSA militants, and villagers under the banner of ARSA,

who are from the Chut Pyin area villages, paints a far different description of events, in
their own words! Furthermore, these militants were captured on Sept 11, 2017, and were
interrogated on Sept 14 and 15, just over 2 weeks before nearly all of the interviews, by
HRW, FR, and AI.

EXCERPTS from the ACCOUNTS of 5 CAPTURED ARSA MILITANTS and VILLAGERS

(Mawlawi is the Bengali term for Imam, (F) = father, common to use for identification, (M) = mother)

1) Name: Ma Go La Mauk, 48, Be Lar Mi hamlet, Pauk Pin Yin, Rathedaung Township

Training by ARSA:

From our village, Rawfis (35), Adula Min (20), Dil Ma Mauk (40),
Azi Zulla (20), Ar Yu (30), Atta Ullah (20), Dini Salam (25),
Rawfique (18), Mawlawi Adu Shu Kha (30), from Auk Nan Yar
village, Mawlawi Habi Sarmauk (35), Mawlawi Shuku (40), Faw
Saw La Mauk (35) from Samdu Village, Hu Saung (30), Futura
(25), Malawi Sayed Alom (55), Malawi Abu La Sheim (55), and
Saw Tar (25) have attended some training from ARSA. The
training sessions were given in Koe Tha Kauk village. If we
crossed the mountain, which takes a day, we would arrive at
Thin Baw Kway, Inn Din, and Tha Win Chaung villages. And
then, we would go by foot to Koe Tan Kauk village.The leader of ARSA lived, or stayed, in
Koe Tan Kauk village.

13
ARSA conducted training sessions, focused on fighting skills, shooting guns, and
making handmade bombs and mines. Villagers from Koe Tan Kauk village are the trainers
of ARSA. I attended the training sessions once a week, and they told us that if we failed to
attend, they would kill us. The training was from 9 pm to 12 am midnight. They used to say,
in the trainings, that they were going to establish an autonomous Islamic State. All of our
villagers above 15 years old took the trainings, and so did men up until 40 years old. Kay
Fayed and Said Dullah also joined the training. Rawfis put me in the ‘Attacking Group’.
Members of ARSA used to come to our village and other nearby villages, and they killed
those who were opposed to them, or those suspected to be government informants. They
used to wear black suits and white headbands with Arabic words printed on them. I don’t
know because I don’t read, but some said the words on the headbands meant “Bless me,
Allah”. Some of the ARSA members wore black masks.

Ata Ullah’s Headquarters of ARSA is located somewhere in the jungle of Bandarban,

Bangladesh. Rafis went there about once a month. He showed us the emblem of ARSA and
told them that our village would receive 10 guns and 40 swords. Other Bengalis from
Rathedaung and Buthidaung also went to ARSA’s Headquarters in Bangladesh.

Making Handmade Bombs:

ARSA trainees, Has, Saltar, Mawlawi Sayed Alom, and Mawlawi Abu Ha Sheim learned how
to make bombs when they went to Bangladesh. They made bombs in the home of Mawlawi
Adu Shu Ku, and kept the bombs in Adu Shu Ku’s house and Dil Ma Mauk’s house in our
village.

How We Prepared for the Attacks:

Around 3:00 pm on 22.8.2017, Nru Ma Mauk from Chut Pyin village gathered about 100
Bengalis from Chut Pyin, Ah Htet Nan Yar, Auk Nan Yar, Be Lar Mi, and Ni Lin Baw villages in
the house of Mawbi from Chut Pyin. He said ARSA had arrived in Chut Pyin village and they
would start the attacks in the early morning of 25.8.2017. They told us to be ready to join,
and if any of us refused, they would be killed.

Around 10 am of 26.8.2017, we gathered some people in the house of Rawfis. Rawfis, Dil Ma
Mauk, Aman Hu Sang, and Adu La Min were wearing black suits, holding swords, and
each one of them had 10 homemade bombs. They said after attacking the police outposts
we will have their guns. We, around 50 Bengalis, arrived at Mawbi’s house in Chut Pyin
village around 2 am on 27.8.2017. We met other villagers there - from Chut Pyin, Ni Lin Baw,
Auk Nan Yar, and Than Du villages - and now we were, all together, about 200 Bengalis.
Everyone - both young and old, even some kids - joined together with us. We decided to
approach Chut Pyin Police Outpost, to attack with bombs, and when policemen chase after
us, some of our group would ambush them. We made sure the our women and children were
kept together in the center of Chut Pyin village.

Police Outpost:

Around 3 am on 27.8.2017, Saltar,

Mawlawi Abul La Sheim (Mawlawi
leader of Rathedaung) and Ha Su
from Chut Pyin village attacked
Chut Pyin Police Outpost with
bombs. When the policemen
chased after them, our group - lead
by Rawfis - ambushed the
policemen, while shouting “Allahu
Akbar”. Some unknown ARSA
members and Saltar, Nru Ma Mauk,

Chut Pyin to Be Lar Mi is one mile.

Rawfis and Aman Hu Saung shot the policemen with guns. Some villagers from our Be Lar
Mi village, and Ni Lin Baw village were hit by gunfire, and we then retreated to home. On the
way, we buried some landmines on the road.

How We Fled Our Villages, and Set Fire To Our Villages As We Left:

After attacking Chut Pyin police Outpost, in the early morning of 27.8.2017, Ar Mauk Dullah
(45), Ru Taung Are (50), Ra Mauk Dullah (50) and other ARSA militants set fire to Chut Pyin
village. All the villagers from our village fled around around 5 am on 28.8.2017.

Mauk from Chut Pyin village gathered us villagers and we
followed him to a house in Chut Pyin where there were about
100 Bengalis from Chut Pyin, Ah Htet Nan Yar, Auk Nan Yar, Be
Lar Mi and Ni Lin Baw Villages. Nu Ma Mauk said members of

our paths to stop the police from following us.

How We Fled After The Attacks:

After attacking the Chut Pyin police outpost, at the evening of 26/27.8.2017, the villagers ran
away from villages as ARSA militants burned the houses and so we also fled from our
village around 5:00 am on 28.8.2017. Our villagers from Ni Lin Baw and Auk Nan Yar village
did the same.

CONCLUSION OF CHUT PYIN NON-MASSACRE

The prisoner interrogations certainly blow apart the made up stories of blatant massacre.

And, there is more to debunk with this attempt to shape opinion around the world, to paint
the Buddhists as despicable bloodthirsty killers, and to use the world’s gullibility to seize the
land from the definitive indigenous people - whom are NOT the Bengali Muslims.

1) Notice all of the threats of death from Bengalis to Bengalis in the interrogations. Among
the dozens of captured militants, in their translated interrogations we hear: “fight
together with them, or die.” “if we did not join, we would be killed in accordance with
Islamic law.” “If we were arrested, we should not to disclose any information about ARSA,
and if we did, they would kill all of our family members.” We all know (both sides of this
issue know) that ARSA has killed many Muslims who do not support ARSA’s ways -
during the last couple of years, and as recently as days ago. So, there is quite a high
chance that after the attacks ARSA militants could have returned to Chut Pyin and
terrorized and killed, even chopped heads off (much more a Muslim preference) those
men and boys who didn’t participate, or ARSA could have killed their families.

18
2) Satellite photos are nice, but in the wrong hands they can be a weapon, as in the case of
Human Rights Watch which grossly misinterpreted (or, as I believe, intentionally came to
a false conclusion) satellite photos of Kyaukpyu, Rakhine State, during the 2012
violence. Example: let’s show this photo to 100 people, and ask, who burned the
houses? ARSA? Buddhists? Santa Claus?

3) No actual bodies, or mass graves have been found. A few bodies said to be in fresh dug
dirt - but no photos - would much more likely be some of the hundred of men and boys
who attacked to kill but fortunately were themselves killed. Muslim practice is to bury a
person who has died quickly - so if an attacker was killed at 4 am he might be buried by
his comrades a few hours later, in a shallow grave, which then can be photographed just
before the busy men start to burn the village and flee. I said fortunately, a moment ago,
because, that will prevent him from trying to kill again and again -as they hoped they
could. Watch some of the ARSA videos (from captured terrorist’s mobile phones.)

4) Fortify Rights comes out with dazzling sensationalism: in the afternoon of Aug 27, “men
and boys were herded into a hut and burned alive, and children as young as 6 were
beheaded in a killing spree that ran five hours from 2 to 7 pm.” Wow, 5 hours, was
everyone just patiently standing in line? Come on, this kind of ghoulish sensationalism
becomes very difficult to take seriously. People might even forget that in the days and
weeks after Aug 25, soldiers had to protect and escort many many villagers that were
trapped, injured, and frightened - and also fight ARSA.

5) One of the most puzzling things about the ‘witnesses and survivors’ is the fact that
nobody took any photos or videos of any type of abuse, killing, beating, or setting fires.
A video of fire burning at a distance says nothing about who started it. During the
supposed “5 hour killing spree” nobody could take any kind of video from a hiding place,
or from a hill, or something? That is quite damning and greatly deflates this case.

6) With nearly every Bengali man and boy participating in the opening jihad attacks, they
should realize that if you start a war you might lose. And. if you are trying to kill the
armed forces and the people that the armed forces needs to protect, then you can
expect that the armed forces must do their duty - and that is to protect the population
from an enemy which is waging war and terror upon it, and eliminate the threat to the
point where it is not repeatable.

7) Why do the so-called Human Rights groups - HRW, FR, AI - pooh-pooh the huge attacks
of August 25, 2017? One of the biggest terrorists attacks in history - consider the
number of targets, 30 Police and Army Outposts, and another 30 - 50 villages at virtually
the same time, with an estimated 4000-6000 assailants attacking with the declared
genocidal intention of killing all of the non-Muslims, in the name of Jihad - holy war for
Allah.

19
8) HRW, FR, AI are always trying to make a point that the Buddhists are carrying out a
systematic plan to get rid of the Bengalis, when actually the Buddhists are again and
again caught off-guard when the Bengalis hatch yet another plan to annihilate the
Buddhists again and again. The prisoner interrogations show how the Aug 25 attacks
were planned, practiced, trained for - systematically - and tunnels and bunkers were
dug, and bombs and landmines were made.

This is about ⅔ of my rebuttal to Matthew Smith’s report, I’ll finish it in another day or two.
