On August 27, 2017, security forces from the Myanmar military, police, Border Guard Police, and Rakhine civilians attacked the village of Manu Para, located in Buthidaung, Rakhine State, executing a massacre starting at 10:00 a.m. and lasting until the evening. In total, security forces killed approximately 150-200 Rohingya villagers. Battalions 564 and 552 led the violence. Two days prior, an attack by security forces on nearby Punto Prang village had made many Rohingya flee to hide in 5-6 large house compounds in Manu Para.
Asian Dignity Initiative carried out in-depth interviews with selected victim-survivors 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 justice. In addition, a criminal trial to hold perpetrators responsible for their horrific actions will ultimately require the submission of relevant evidence to the authorities.
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 massacres and arson committed on August 25-28, 2017 in the villages of Punto Prang and Manu Para 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.
