On August 23-24, 2017, security forces from the Myanmar military, Border Guard Police (BGP), and police, as well as Rakhine civilians, attacked an Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camp of Rohingya people, located within Ah Htet Nan Yar village in Rathedaung, Rakhine State. The 400-500 assailants besieged the IDP camp from their deployment stations at two BGP camps and other locations. They killed and injured Rohingya civilians with indiscriminate gunfire. Security forces raped Rohingya women, unlawfully arrested Rohingya people, 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 attacks on August 23-24, 2017 on the IDP camp 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.
