The recent video that emerged showing Rohingya men and a child being assaulted by Hlun Htein forces have taken place in Dunsey, Rathedaung, according to reports in the Rohingya media. It was taken in the period of November 4 to November 6, when there was a joint raid by the Tatmadaw and Hlun Htein forces.
Rohingya Vision TV made the claim on Saturday, two days after the video emerged in the internet.
There is little doubt about the authenticity of the video. It was shot by a Hlun Htein personal and has somehow been leaked.
Many arrested from Dunsey have been condemned to serve long term prison sentences without any proper trial.
Relatives fear for their safety as even after being sentenced, there is continuous torture leading to the deaths of many prisoners. Former prisoners from Buthidaung jail have said each night, the prison guards removed two to three corpses who died following merciless torture.
Prisoners have said the guards generally start with the fingers and move to other body parts. Many have said they were beaten like snakes during their time in prison.
