Around 270 Rohingya prisoners were transferred from Buthidaung Prison to Young Chaung Prison on April 13, according to local sources. The reason for the transfer and the current condition of the detainees remain unclear.
Sources said all those transferred are Rohingya. The movement reportedly took place under security, but no official statement has been issued.
Family members of the detainees expressed concern after learning about the transfer. One parent told Rohingya Khobor, “We do not know why they moved our children. We are very worried because we have no information about their safety.”
Another parent said, “Our sons are already suffering in prison. Now they have been taken to another place, and we do not even know exactly where or how they are.”
Residents said the lack of information has increased anxiety among families, who remain uncertain about the detainees’ situation.
Further details about the transfer have not been confirmed.
