The military regime has sealed off a historic quake-hit mosque in the compound of the central police station in Sagaing town, according to the local Muslim community.
Ownership of the land is disputed between the mosque trustees and the local police.
“Over the past four or five years, police have kept telling us to leave, saying our mosque squats on the police station compound,” said a local Muslim who asked to remain anonymous. “But we were able to stay by sending requests to the home affairs and religious affairs ministries.”
