Crimes Against Humanity and Ethnic Cleansing of Rohingya Muslims in Burma’s Arakan State
Human Rights Watch
April 22, 2013
This 153-page report describes the role of the Burmese government and
local authorities in the forcible displacement of more than 125,000
Rohingya and other Muslims and the ongoing humanitarian crisis. Burmese
officials, community leaders, and Buddhist monks organized and
encouraged ethnic Arakanese backed by state security forces to conduct
coordinated attacks on Muslim neighborhoods and villages in October 2012
to terrorize and forcibly relocate the population. The tens of
thousands of displaced have been denied access to humanitarian aid and
been unable to return home.
