On August 25, 2017, security forces from the Myanmar military Battalion 535, police, and Rakhine civilians attacked the village of Inn Din, located in Maungdaw, Rakhine State. Security forces set fire to 700-800 homes in the village and looted property. The arson began in the early morning between 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. on August 31, 2017. Based on an initial survey, the total number of Inn Din villagers killed on these two days amounts to 147. In the terror after such mass-scale violence and killing, Inn Din villagers escaped to Bangladesh, where they now live in temporary tents inside precarious refugee camps.
Asian Dignity Initiative interviewed 19 people in total, consisting of 10 women and 9 men. The interviews, which included more than 100 questions, consisted of four parts in the following order: the initial survey; experiences of discrimination 2012-2016; the atrocity in October 2016; and the brutality in August 2017.
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 and atrocities committed in October 2016 and on August 25, 2017 in the village of Inn Din followed the pattern of genocide and/or ethnic cleansing. Therefore, our view is that the international community needs to actively intervene and take steps to address the situation.
