Soldiers stand guard at Aung Mingalar quarter in Sittwe

Soldiers stand guard at Aung Mingalar quarter in Sittwe August 13, 2013. Sittwe's last remaining Muslim-dominated quarter, Aung Mingalar, is locked down by police and soldiers who patrol all streets leading in and out. Muslims can't leave without written permission from local authorities, which Muslims say is almost impossible to secure.
