The mosque and Muslim homes at Yong Pae village in Ayelar, near Nay Pyi Daw are being attacked since 1 AM, on March 23.
M-Media learns that people are running away as the mosque and homes are being set on fire.
A men just told M-Media as he runs for his life:
“At about 10 pm, there were something. Authorities came to look around and went back. They start burning down houses since 1 am. Major Myint Aung came, but returned without doing anything even when people were shouting and running. There is only one mosque here. There are about 40 Muslim households and 150 people. We have been living here for 150 years go. Nothing happened in the past, now things started immediately. All muslims from the village are running towards the field. My phone is running out of battery, there is only one signal bar. Other people don’t have phone. I am very exhausted. I will hang up”.
