I. Introduction
On 3 August 2013, the illegal Bengali settlers attacked six Jumma villages in Taindong under Matiranga Upazila in Khagrachari district of Chittagong Hill Tracts, wounding over a dozen people and burning down 34 houses, one Buddhist temple and one shop. Carried by communal frenzy, the attackers also ransacked and looted 259 houses and a Buddhist temple. The villages that were attacked include Bandarshing Para, Boga Para (Naya Para), Bogapara (main), Monudas Para, Sorbeshwar Para, Talukder Para all under Taindong Union. However, Jummas from other seven neighbouring villages also fled their homes fearing attack.
5 The settlers blamed the Jummas for the kidnapping and beat them up in the presence of Subedar Shahadat, commander of BGB Bandarshing camp, and Badsha Mian, commander of BGB Tanakka Para camp. One of the victims, Moni Lal Chakma, 28, of Bandarsing Para, said the settlers began attacking Jummas as soon as a BGB man blew a whistle. The BGB did nothing to prevent the settlers. After the beating, the Jummas were taken to Bandorshing camp and were left there untreated. Later some of them were released, and they immediately ran to the Indian border, joining other victims who had fled their homes to seek refuge there. According to the victims, after beating the twelve Jummas at Crossing, at 1:30pm, the settlers, numbering about 1,200, led by local Awami League and BNP leaders, proceeded towards Jumma-inhabited areas in a procession, chanting Naraye Tokbir, Allahhu-akbar, burn down Pahari houses, drive the Paharis out etc. They first attacked Bandarshing Para, looting, ransacking and torching the houses. From 3pm more Jumma villages such as Remains of burnt house in Sorbeshwar Para Bogapara, Sorbeshwar Para, Manodas Para and Talukder Para came under attack. According to eyewitness accounts, the BGB accompanied the settlers during the attack. Suku Moni Chakma was among twelve Jummas who were beaten up at Crossing. He said: After we failed to find the kidnapped man despite our frantic searches, the settlers said the Paharis, who are here (at Crossing), should be attacked. They are the people who have instigated the kidnapping. There were about 20 - 25 BGB personnel and 4 policemen present there at that time. We were 12 Jummas there. The settlers beat us in the presence of the BGB and police. We embraced the BGB men to save us, but the settlers pulled us from them and beat us. The BGB and police did nothing to prevent the settlers; they just looked on in silence. At one stage, the settlers separated me from others in order to kill me. They took me some distance. One of my acquaintances, Giasuddin, was there and he saved me. He took me to Tanakka Para camp, from where the BGB men Suku Moni Chakma escorted me to Bogapara. By the night I crossed over to India and met the other villagers.
6 Corroborating Suku Monis statement, the chief (Karbari) of Bandorshing village, Amrita Ranjan Chakma, has it to say: I was preparing to eat my mid-day meal at 11am when the commander of Bandorshig Para camp called me up to ask if I knew a Bengali was kidnapped from Crossing. I said I did not know. Then he asked me if I could help him find the kidnapped Bengali. I took 10 15 people along with me and ran off to Crossing. We found 10 15 BGB men there. Members (UP) and Karbaris (village chiefs) from Bogapara were also present. We Paharis and Bengalis together searched for the kidnapped man all over the area. After failing to find him, the settlers became agitated and swooped on us.
The settlers began to gather at Crossing. Some of them came by riding motorbike and some on foot. Many of the Jummas sensed serious danger and fled. I also tried to run away, but nine settlers caught me. They then beat me with sticks and struck me with a dao (a kind of machete). Soon thereafter, the settlers began attacking and burning Jumma villages. The BGB men did nothing to prevent the settlers. After the beating, the BGB men took us to Tanakka Para camp. We did not know where Suku Moni was taken. We were kept the whole night at the BGB camp. The next day, 4 August, State Minister Dipankar Talukder and GOC came to visit the place of occurrence and we narrated the whole incident to them. Describing the attack that lasted from 1:30pm till 6pm, Satyo Brata Chakma, 40, told the visiting team of the HWHRF: At about 11am, I saw hundreds of settlers coming from Bot-toli, Achlong and Tanakka Para. They came by motorbike and on foot and were armed with sticks, dao, spears, hammers and machetes. At 1pm, when they began shouting, beating Jummas and torching houses in Bandorshing, we, the people of Bogapara, all ran away. I went some distance from my house and hid myself. After burning down the village of Bandorshing, the attacking mob entered Noapara of Bogapara repeating what they did in Bandorshing. Then they proceeded towards our village, Bogapara. When they set fire to my neighbours house I gave a shout at them. They spared my house and went forward. The settlers were 200 to 300 in number and were accompanied by 10 12 BGB personnel. The youths were at the forefront, followed by the middle-aged men and at the tail were the BGB. They came to attack our village in this manner. During our visit we witnessed burned houses, with charred remnants of them strewn all over the area. We noticed mounds of unhusked rice grains still burning and utensils lying on the ground, damaged beyong use. Some of the houses remained unscathed but the furniture, TV, solar panels and other household equipments were vandalized and destroyed.
We were told that after torching the houses in Bogapara the settlers proceeded towards Sorbeshwar Para and repeated the same. They killed a pig by striking it with a dao and wounded another one. After causing maximum damage in Sorbeshwar Para the settlers moved to Manodas Para where they looted the Jumma houses. According to some victims, although the attack ended at about 6pm, the settlers burnt down another two houses in Talukder Para at 11pm.
b) Number of houses looted and ransacked and estimated losses A total of 259 houses in six villages were looted and ransacked, with estimated losses amounting to Taka 10,638,530 or $ 132,981.625. The table showing the village-wise break-up of the losses is added in Appendix E. c) Destruction of Buddhist temples and their estimated losses Two Buddhist temples were also attacked by the settlers Jana Shakti Buddhist Temple at Sarbeshwar Para and Janseba Buddhist Temple at Manodas Para. The attackers ransacked and looted Jana Shakti Buddhist Temple and set fire to its Deshana Ghor or paryer hall, while they desecrated and destroyed Buddha statues in both the temples. These two temples suffered an estimated loss of Taka 474,080 or $ 5926 (Jana Shakti temple: 219,080 $ 2738.5 and Janaseba temple: 255,000 $ 3187.5). See Appendix F.
One of the mastermind of the attack, Sirajul Islam Siraji, ex UP chairman of Taindong Union and organizing secretary of Matiranga branch of Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), was arrested on 11 August from a residential hotel in Khulshi in Chittagong along with two other accused in the case.1 Kamal Hossain, who falsely claimed to have been kidnapped, was also arrested. On 12 August, two more cases were filed with Matiranga police station. One of these cases was filed by Alo Rani Chakma, wife of Suku Moni Chakma, and involves the death of her 2month old son Asha Moni Chakma as a consequence of the attack. The other one was filed by Chikon Chan Chakma, general secretary of Jana Shakti Buddhist Temple Management Committee, in connection with the destruction and theft of Buddha statutes. But to their surprise, the police registered their statements as GDs (General Diary), but not as FIRs, which means that it now depends on the police if they would proceed further with these two matters.

10 - On 8 August, Khagrachari Relief Collection and Distribution Committee visited the place of occurrence and provided Taka 5 thousand to each family and distributed clothes among them. There is allegation that a total of 485 victim families are being deprived of relief, and these include two families whose houses were burnt down. See Appendix G. The Government seems reluctant to provide relief to the victims of those villages which were not directly attacked by the settlers.
XIII. Observations
1) From our interviews with the victims and eyewitnesses, we came to the conclusion that the attack on Jumma villages in Taindong on 3 August was premeditated and racially motivated. Before the attack, for several days anti-Jumma sentiment and communal hatred had been spread among the common settlers. The BGB and the local administration had been aware of this. Yet, they did nothing to prevent the settlers from deliberately fanning tensions and poisoning the mind of the settlers with communal hatred against the Jumma people. They had let the conspirators go ahead with their plans. After the frenzied demonstration on the night 31 July shouting antiJumma slogans, the United Peoples Democratic Front (UPDF) had issued a statement next day demanding actions against those responsible for fanning communal tensions in Taindong. Yet, the local administration both civil and military paid no heed to the matter. Even the media ignored the UPDF statement; no newspaper or other media outlets published the news of the Jumma villagers in Taindong taking refuge near Indian border following the midnight demonstration of 31 July. All this gave encouragement to the settlers to launch attacks on the Jumma people. 2) The kidnapping of Kamal Hossain was stage-managed. This has been acknowledged by both Jumma and Bengali community leaders as well as the officials of the district administration. In his statement given to the journalists at Matiranga Upazila Health Complex, Kamal Hossain said, On Saturday, at 11am, I drove to Bhagabantila to drop a Jumma woman. On my way back, two unknown Jumma youths mounted on my motorbike at Bandorshing area. After we proceeded some distance, some 14-15 Jumma youths blocked the road. He further said that he had tried to escape while the Jumma youths were taking him away and that he had called two Bengali settlers by his mobile phone while running away. One of them was Jahangir, but he could not tell the name of the other one. Of this, Taindong Union Council Chairman Tajul Islam said, How did he (Kamal) find time to call someone and ask him to call him back while he was being chased? To this, one should add how he could call someone he did not know at such a critical moment? Tajul termed the kidnapping as premeditated and politically motivated. Phoni Bhushan Chakma, Member of Ward No. 1 of Taindong Union, stated that the kidnapping of Kamal Hossain was stage-managed and it was done to drive out the Jumma people and weaken them financially.2 That the kidnapping of Kamal Hossain was a set up has been confirmed even by law enforcement agencies. The
2
11 Superintendent of Police, Sheikh Md. Mizanur Rahman, said when it had become clear to the police that the kidnapping was stage-managed they arrested those involved in it. He also said that some of those arrested had confessed that the kidnapping was stage-managed.3 3) The attack could have been averted if the Government had taken swift action against those fanning communal tensions. Since it is a common knowledge that even a minor incident can lead to a major communal flare-up in the CHT, the inaction on the part of the Government after the 31 July demonstration of the settlers is nothing short of criminal negligence. The Deputy Commissioner of Khagrachari, Mashud Karim, said, I knew of such a conspiracy two days before the incident and informed different agencies about it.4 But the DC is silent about what action he had taken other than informing the agencies about the conspiracy. Was it not his duty to take actions against the conspirators and send police forces to prevent the attack and save the innocent people and their property? One cannot but conclude from what he has stated, that he had just let the settlers go ahead with their plan to launch an attack. In short, the DC cannot absolve himself from the responsibility for the attack. 4) A section of the BGB, if not all of them, was involved in the plot. The failure of the BGB to take actions against the settlers involved in spreading anti-Jumma hatred through lies, propaganda and rumours, the beating of the Jummas at Crossing in the presence of the BGB and its failure to intervene with the settlers to save them and the protection that the BGB personnel provided the settlers during the attack on the Jumma villages all this unmistakably point to the BGBs involvement in the planning and execution of the attack. 5) The aim of the attack was to drive the Jumma people out of their lands and destroy their economy. The Jummas have already been evicted several times since the arrival of the settlers in 1979 on a mass scale. Attacks in the past forced them to vacate their lands that were later occupied by the settlers. The attack of 3 August followed the same old pattern. 6) Local leaders of both the ruling Awami League and the opposition BNP took part in the violent attack. This proves the fact that despite their mutual hatred and confrontational politics at national level, when it comes to driving the Jumma people from their lands in the CHT, they are united. 7) Due to the influx of the settlers over the last few decades the Jumma people in Taindong have been reduced to a minority. They live in constant fear of attack by the settlers. Moreover, they are subjected to frequent raids, arrests and harassment by BGB. They are forced to live in an environment where they have no security of life and property.
XIV. Recommendations
We have so far witnessed many acts of violence against Jumma people that resulted in innumerable loss of life and property. The culture of impunity and the lack of appropriate
3 4
12 actions on the part of the security forces and the local administration have contributed to the recurrence of such violent communal attacks. There should be an immediate end to this. We therefore would like to recommend the following measures to the Government of Bangladesh: 1. The arrest of 11 suspects is a welcome move. But the Government should do more and must ensure that all those involved in the attack are punished. 2. The Government should constitute a commission of inquiry headed by a High Court judge to determine whether there was a significant breach of duty or misconduct on the part of the both local civil administration and law enforcement agencies in preventing the attack and suggest disciplinary actions against those to be found guilty of it. 3. The involvement of BGB is too obvious to deny. The Government should take disciplinary actions against the BGB officers and personnel, including Jamini Para zone commander, for providing support to the perpetrators. 4. Adequate compensation must be provided to the victims. There are allegations that many of the victims, particularly those whose houses were not burnt down, are not being provided with relief materials. The Government should prepare a list of the victims and pay compensation on the basis of it. If that is not possible, it may make use of our lists included in this report. 5. The Jumma people in Taindong, as in many other parts of the Chittagong Hill Tracts, live in constant fear of attack. The repeated failure of the security forces to protect their life and property in the event of any settler attack is well documented. Therefore, it is imperative that the Jumma people are allowed to form Village Defense Party (VDP) to protect themselves. 6. For the sake of permanent peace in the CHT, the settlers should be rehabilitated in the plain land with financial assistance from the European Union. According to various reports, including the CHT Commissions Life Is Not Ours, the settlers are willing to go back to their original home districts if there is a guarantee of rehabilitation.
