Bengali settlers attempt to rape an indigenous Buddhist girl in Naniachar

On 6 September 2015, Muslim settlers attempted to rape a 19 years old indigenous girl in Naniachar, Rangamati district. The victim was returning home in Nanakrum village under Burighat Union after seeing her friend off at a bus station in the morning.

Finding her alone in the street, a Muslim settler named Mohammad Maharaj (20) son of Ali Hossain Munshi of Islampur village in Burighat grabbed her and tried to rape her. However, the girl struggled hard to free herself and at one stage succeeded in freeing herself by hitting the Muslim settler with an umbrella.

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 and Muslim settlers use rape as a tool to terrorize the indigenous people of Chittagong Hill Tracts. Bangladesh army is involved in rape, murder, torture and land grabbing in Chittagong Hill Tracts.
