Sittwe: Burmese military authorities on Tuesday arrested prominent Arakanese historian monk Ramar Waddy U Pyinya Sara in Sittwe, the capital of Arakan State, on accusations that he abused Buddhist religious principles, said another monk from Sittwe.

Speaking to Narinjara over the phone, the monk who wished to remain anonymous said, "A combined force of police and officials from the religious department arrested him at his monastery in Sittwe on the morning of Tuesday on accusations of breaking religious principles."

U Pyinya Sara is a well known Arakanese historian as well as a leading abbot of the Buddha Vihara Mahamuni orphanage, where more than 100 orphans live and receive an education.

"I went to police station No. 1 to inquire about his arrest but the police official could not provide me with the real facts of his arrest. I was unable to see him at the police station as the authorities are not detaining him there," said the monk.

The authority brought him to an unknown location in Sittwe after his arrest.

A trustee in the monastery said, "The authority told us the reason for his arrest is that he was living with a woman against the religious law. But I do not believe the accusations of the authority and strongly believe his arrest was related to politics."

As U Pyinya Sara is a respected historian, he always reveals the history of Arakan through articles published in journals and magazines. The authority, however, sees this as behavior against solidarity of the union.

It was learned that residents of Sittwe are eager to know the reason behind the arrest of U Pyinya Sara after reports of his arrest began spreading in the city.

Sittwe: Ashion Pyinya Sara, an Arakanese historian monk who was arrested by military authorities on allegations of impropriety, has refused to eat since 27 July, when authorities detained him in Sittwe, the capital of Arakan State, reported a town elder. He said, "I heard through an inside police source that Ashion Pyinya Sara has refused to take food since he was arrested by authorities. He is now in serious condition due to not eating for a long time." 57-year-old Ashion Pyinya Sara is being detained at Sittwe No. 1 police station for interrogation, without any formal remand from the court. "There are many reports that he has been tortured severely by authorities during the interrogation. Since he was arrested, he has been brought to the interrogation cell several times where authorities questioned and tortured him. However, he has remained silent and not offered any information," the source said. U Pyinya Sara is a well known Arakanese historian as well as a leading abbot of the Buddha Vihara Mahamuni orphanage in suburban Sittwe, where more than 100 orphans live and receive an education. The military authority arrested him on charges that he was living with a woman against religious law, that he has been involved in politics, and that he buried many children in the orphanage compound without notifying authorities. According to a local source, the authority arrested the monk soon after some officials from the NGO Martayzar, which provides food and educational support for children and women, complained to the military authority in Sittwe. One analyst in Sittwe said, "The arrest of U Pyinya Sara is a little strange and different because the army's second commander of the Western Command himself participated in the arrest along with many soldiers. The allegations and arrest are not an army concern, but army officials were still involved in the arrest. It shows what authorities wanted to arrest him." The army authority also seized many precious ancient antiques from the library of the orphanage, including ancient silver and gold Arakanese coins, Buddha statues, and palm-leaf inscriptions that have been collected by Ashion Pyinya Sara over the years. Ashion Pyinya Sara is a respected historian who often revealed the history of Arakan through articles published in journals and magazines. The authority, however, sees this as behavior against the solidarity of the union. It was learned that some Sittwe residents believe the authorities' accusations against Ashion Pyinya Sara, but others believe the charges are baseless.

Sittwe: 47 orphans from Maha Muni Buddha Vihara orphanage have been moved by authorities to an undisclosed location after their orphanage was closed and sealed off on Monday.

A social worker from Sittwe said, "The authority brought 47 orphans aged between 5 and 7 from the orphanage to an unknown place on a bus labeled Kyin Din Aung on Monday. We do now know why or where the children have been moved by authorities."

People in Sittwe strongly suspect the 47 orphans were taken to Rangoon and Mandalay to be placed in orphanages run by the military government.

The Burmese military took steps to move the children to undisclosed locations after the orphanage was sealed off by authorities on Monday, after the abbot of the orphanage, Ashion Pyinya Sara, was arrested.

More than 100 orphans had been living and studying at the Maha Muni Buddha Vihara orphanage in suburban Sittwe for a long time.

"The other 70 orphans have been detained at the Sittwe No. 1 police station since the 47 were taken to unknown locations. Among them are some young adults who many expect will be sent by the authorities to army recruiters to join the army," the source said.

Because of reports they would be conscripted, some of the adult orphans fled from where they were being detained at the police station.

Authorities have also prepared to send the rest of the orphans to other places soon, but no one knows where they will be sent.

"We are now anxious about the children and many people in Sittwe oppose the authority's plan for sending them to unknown locations and the army recruitment unit. Now the issue is facing public criticism in Sittwe," the man said.
