UPDATE: The UN has added to the mountain of damning evidence exposing Myanmar’s crimes against the Rohingya.
We’ve named 13 officials who should be investigated for crimes against humanity. We won’t stop until those with blood on their hands face justice.
Background
In August 2017, Myanmar security forces burned Rohingya homes, shops, and mosques and forced more than 700,000 people to flee across the border to Bangladesh. forces swept through hundreds of Rohingya villages, killing, raping and hauling people to detention sites where they were tortured.
One year on, Rohingya survivors who remained in Myanmar are at risk of starvation. The military have repeatedly denied access to their rice fields, stolen livestock and torched several local markets.
Hundreds of thousands of Rohingya people are still in limbo in refugee camps in Bangladesh. Until their tormentors in Myanmar’s security forces are brought to justice, Rohingya refugees cannot safely return home.
