Rohingya exodus still growing, six months into crisis | Bangkok Post: news


Hundreds of desperate Rohingya Muslims still pour over the Myanmar border into Bangladesh camps every week, six months into the refugee crisis. Hundreds of Rohingya villages have been torched in the crackdown, according to refugees and monitoring groups. New @HRW satellite imagery shows Burma bulldozing Rohingya villages, wiping away the evidence of its atrocities while impeding return of refugees. "Those who came in recent days said they were tortured," Mainuddin Khan, Teknaf town police chief, told AFP. Human Rights Watch says Myanmar authorities are trying to remove evidence of atrocities by bulldozing Rohingya villages in Rakhine state.
