Buthidaung: Curfew periods have been once again extended for further two months specifically for Rohingya residents in Maungdaw Township on 11th August 2018, according to a notice released.
Since late August 2017, under the act on 144 curfews have been imposed only on Rohingya residents of Maungdaw Township.
Under the curfew, Rohingyas are not allowed to leave their homes from 9 pm till 5 am in the morning.
The curfew duration imposed since then was about to finish, but Burmese authorities once again extended the curfew for two more months in the region.
In the new notice, they referred the situation of Arakan (Rakhine) to be vulnerable and presented it as a key reason of curfew extension.
