In October and November 2016, security forces from the Myanmar military and Border Guard Police (BGP), as well as Rakhine civilians, attacked the village of Laung Don, located in Maungdaw, Rakhine State. The 400-500 assailants besieged Laung Don from their deployment stations at a BGP camp, Rakhine village, and hill. They killed and injured Rohingya villagers with indiscriminate gunfire. Security forces raped Rohingya women, unlawfully arrested Rohingya villagers, and looted Rohingya property.
Asian Dignity Initiative carried out in-depth interviews with selected victim-survivors living in refugee camps in Bangladesh. The purpose of this report is to advance truth-seeking in order to support and aid the Rohingya victims of mass-scale violence, as well as to promote and actualize transitional and transformative justice. In addition, a criminal trial to hold perpetrators responsible for their horrific actions will ultimately require the submission of relevant evidence to the tribunal(s).
In this report, Asian Dignity Initiative sought to explain how the Rohingya suffered from systematic destruction between 2012-2016, as well as to demonstrate that the massacres committed in October and November 2015, as well as the violence in August 2017, in the village of Laung Don followed the pattern of genocide and ethnic cleansing. Therefore, our view is that the international community needs to actively intervene and take steps to address the situation.
