Detained Myanmar journalist Kyaw Soe Oo (L) is escorted by police to a court in Yangon to face trial on February 6, 2018. Myanmar authorities deny the allegations but have virtually cut off northern Rakhine, barring independent media from accessing the conflict-hit areas. "The Reuters investigation of the Inn Din massacre was what prompted Myanmar police authorities to arrest two of the news agency's reporters," the report said. The account was based on testimony from Buddhist villagers, security officers and relatives of the slain men. The Reuters report said witnesses denied there had been any major attack from Rohingya militants before the alleged massacre.
