Press Release of Arakan Army concern at the unfounded allegation from the CHTIMES24 on October 5, 2015

Press Release
October 8, 2015

Arakan Army is deeply concern at the unfounded allegation from the CHTIMES24 on October 5, 2015 that the Arakan Army committed extortion, robbery, looting, terrorism, smuggling, kidnapping, crimes in Chittagong Hill Tracts. We strongly reject such groundless accusations against Arakan Army, and we suspect that credibility of newspaper is questionable.

The Arakan Army has never been involved in such activities nor will engage in any wrongdoing behaviors as the Arakan Army is well trained to uphold moral obligation and principles to protect the people of Arakan and its neighboring as well.

We have also learnt some news reports earlier, accused of the Arakan Army as criminals and illegal traffickers, we believe such unreasonable accusations would neither benefit nor address to the people of Bangladesh and government’s policy as well. It only undermines credibility of the Arakan Army and appease the Burmese authoritarian military regime.

We, the Arakan Army condemn such criminal acts against civilians, and we will never hesitate to cooperate with any organizations or governments to combat against these criminals. We request the government of Bangladesh to investigate into the CHTIMES24 October 5, 2015 claims against Arakan Army and bring culprits to the justice.

ARSA claims ambush on Myanmar security forces

Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA) on Sunday claimed responsibility for an ambush on Myanmar security forces that left several wounded in northern Rakhine state, the first attack in weeks in a region gutted by violence. Rakhine was plunged into turmoil last August, when a series of ARSA raids prompted a military backlash so brutal the UN says it likely amounts to ethnic cleansing of the Muslim Rohingya minority. The army campaign sent some 650,000 Rohingya fleeing for Bangladesh, where refugees have given harrowing accounts of rape, murder and arson at the hands of security forces and vigilantes. Myanmar's military, which tightly controls information about Rakhine, denies any abuses and insists the crackdown was a proportionate response to crush the "terrorist" threat. ARSA have launched few attacks in recent months.  But the army reported that "about ten" Rohingya terrorists ambushed a car with hand-made mines and gunfire on Friday morning

Image copyright LELUXHOSPITAL Image caption Authorities warn the procedure could be quite painful A supposed trend of penis whitening has captivated Thailand in recent days and left it asking if the country's beauty industry is taking things too far. Skin whitening is nothing new in many Asian countries, where darker skin is often associated with outdoor labour, therefore, being poorer. But even so, when a clip of a clinic's latest intriguing procedure was posted online, it quickly went viral. Thailand's health ministry has since issued a warning over the procedure. The BBC Thai service spoke to one patient who had undergone the treatment, who told them: "I wanted to feel more confident in my swimming briefs". The 30-year-old said his first session of several was two months ago, and he had since seen a definite change in the shade. 'What for?' The original Facebook post from the clinic offering the treatment, which uses lasers to break do
