Bangladesh army shoot dead an indigenous Chakma Buddhist in Baghaichari

On 17 August 1994, Bangladesh army man Mohammad Abbasuddin from Naksachari camp shot dead an innocent indigenous man Mr. Jnana Alo Chakma (30), son of Mr. Godharam Chakma of Dakshin Bangaltali village in Baghaichari, Rangamati. Bangladesh army man attacked Mr. Chakma when he was returning home after being forced by the army to carry a big load of food stuff to the said Naksachari camp in Baghaichari.

India was partitioned on the basis of religion in 1947. 98.5% of the CHT population was non-Muslim during the partition. The indigenous people of CHT opted to join either India or Burma. But Muslim League conspired with the Boundary Commission and illegally annexed CHT with East Pakistan in violation of the principle of partition. Successive Bangladesh governments have been sponsoring Muslim settlers from plain land to dilute the indigenous people of CHT.

Bangladesh army's role in CHT is to protect the Muslim settlers and carry out massacre, land grab, rape, religious persecution and ethnic cleansing against indigenous Buddhist, Hindu and Animist people in CHT.

Bangladesh army restricts access to Chittagong Hill Tracts to foreign media and tourists. According to IWGIA, Bangladesh army and DGFI train and harbour Islamic extremists in CHT to launch terrorist attack against Myanmar and Inida.
