One night in early September, the Myanmar military swooped in along with local Buddhists and killed hundreds of residents of the village. Yunus’ three brothers — Khairul Amin, Rafikul Alam and Shanchu Alam – were detained by the army and brutally killed. “The army and fundamentalist Buddhist leaders were targeting the young men in the village. I remember my mother every night and I cannot forget what happened that night,” he told the Dhaka Tribune. It was a sunny day and people were busy when suddenly several military vehicles showed up and cordoned off the market.
