On August 25, 2017, security forces from the Myanmar military, Border Guard Police (BGP), police, and Hlun Thein, as well as Rakhine civilians, attacked the village of Tha Win Chaung, located in Maungdaw, Rakhine State. The 100-150 assailants besieged Tha Win Chaung from their deployment station at the BGP camp. They killed and injured Rohingya villagers with indiscriminate gunfire. Security forces burned down Rohingya homes and looted Rohingya property. The attack lasted for more than one week. In the terror after such mass-scale violence and killing, Tha Win Chaung villagers escaped to Bangladesh, where they now live in temporary tents inside precarious refugee camps.
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 beginning on August 25, 2017, in the village of Tha Win Chaung 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.
