The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker T\u00fcrk has expressed grave concern over worsening atrocities in Myanmar\u2019s Rakhine State, warning that the situation bears \u201cdistressingly similar\u201d resemblance to the 2017 military campaign that forced hundreds of thousands of Rohingyas into Bangladesh.<\/p>\n
A report released in Geneva on Tuesday by the UN Human Rights Office documented the killing of some 7,100 people by Myanmar\u2019s military since the 2021 coup, a third of them women and children.<\/p>\n
At least 29,560 people were arrested on political grounds, with over 22,000 still held in military-controlled courts without due process.<\/p>\n
The report said the escalation of hostilities in Rakhine has displaced hundreds of thousands, while about 150,000 Rohingyas have crossed into Bangladesh since November 2023, adding to nearly one million already living in camps.<\/p>\n
\u201cCivilians from both Rohingya and ethnic Rakhine communities continue to suffer the consequences of the hostilities, with widespread and systematic patterns of indiscriminate attacks by the military against civilians and protected objects, forced displacement, forced recruitment, disappearances, arbitrary arrests, arson and property destruction, denial of humanitarian assistance, and repeated atrocities aimed at terrorizing them,\u201d said T\u00fcrk.\u09ac\u09bf\u09b8\u09cd\u09a4\u09be\u09b0\u09bf\u09a4<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker T\u00fcrk has expressed grave concern over worsening atrocities in Myanmar\u2019s Rakhine State, warning that the situation bears \u201cdistressingly similar\u201d resemblance to the 2017 military campaign that forced hundreds of thousands of Rohingyas into Bangladesh.
