On August 25, 2017, security forces from the Myanmar military, Border Guard Police (BGP), and police, as well as Rakhine and Hindu civilians, attacked the village of Gora Khali (Kyaung Taung, formerly known as Gaw Yar Khar Li), located in Maungdaw, Rakhine State. The 100-300 assailants besieged the village from their deployment stations at a BGP camp, Rakhine village, school, and military post in Hoirzza Bil (Oo Doung). They killed and injured Rohingya villagers with indiscriminate gunfire. Security forces burned down Rohingya homes 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 massacre committed on August 25, 2017 in the village of Gora Khali 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.
