"It was Sunday on 13 August 1967. The day was cloudy unlike other wet August days in Sitetway (Sittwe), the capital of Rakhine State in Western Burma. General Ne Win was at the helm of the Burmese junta ruling the country...The Rakhine people each year remember with heavy hearts the mass killings on that day, remembering the atrocities and the ethnic cleansing of the Burmese junta perpetrated ever since upon their own people. The women hope that if their missing husbands and sons were alive today they would have taken up guns against the repressive, inhuman and racist Burmese military junta to clinch freedom."
