YANGON—Six Arakanese recently deported from Singapore have been sued by a police intelligence department for funding an ethnic armed group under the 2014 Counter-Terrorism Law. Relatives and police have confirmed that all six are in detention at the Mayangone Township Police Station.
An officer from the Mayangone Police Station told The Irrawaddy on Thursday morning that the Special Branch—an intelligence department under the Ministry of Home Affairs—is acting as the plaintiff in the case. He said that all of the Arakanese deportees were arrested shortly after their arrival at Yangon International Airport on July 12.
