Akyab- A rickshaw puller is in a critical condition following assault by an army officer in Goyalar Dil, Akyab.
Md Iliyas, 36, was operating his vehicle in the area on Monday when an army officer came down from his jeep and proceeded to grievously assault him for no apparent reason.
Iliyas received serious injuries including a fracture in the skull.
The army officer departed the scene leaving Iliyas on the ground. The victim was later aided by local Rohingyas.
Akyab residents say officers from the Tatmadaw and Hlun Htein regularly attack Rohingya civilians and inflict serious injuries and humiliation on them without giving any explanation.
