Katin Pick Pyin Cahy village is located 16km afar from Sittwe, Rakhine State, Myanmar. 2,000 Rohingya people (303 houses) in the village and they live in temporary wooden shelters with temporary identification issued by government.
The Aung San Suu Kyi’s administration treats them in a worse way after accusing a Rohingya as a terrorist for killing 9 border-guards in October, 2016. There is no Aung San Suu Kyi's democracy desired, and no human rights advocated by the international community anywhere here. The children put all human labour to build a road all day, and they do nothing, but prey, when they are ill. The Muslims in Yangon have official ID cards, and they have no discrimination or restriction of their actions. But the Muslims in Rakhine province are considered as strangers, called Rohingya people.
Rohingya issue is not the religion problem anymore. This is about the 'massacre of racial minority' issue. The town located 20 km far from Sittwe, became a prison without bars. And “Freedom from fear†turned out false.
