On August 26, 2017, security forces from the Myanmar military, Border Guard Police, and Rakhine civilians conducted a preliminary attack on the village of Done Paik, located in Maungdaw, Rakhine State. The assailants besieged all four wards of the village and sprayed gunfire at Rohingya villagers as they fled for their lives. On August 27, 2017, security forces perpetrated a full-scale attack on Done Paik. They again besieged all four wards of the village and opened widespread gunfire, killing and injuring many Rohingya villagers. They set fire to hundreds of homes in the village wards and looted any remaining property. Based on an initial survey, the total number of Done Paik villagers killed on these two days amounts to 158.
Asian Dignity Initiative interviewed 19 people in total, consisting of 4 women and 15 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 brutality on August 26, 2017; and the massacre on August 27, 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 on August 26-27, 2017 in the village of Done Paik 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.
