4 Rohingya found dead in Myanmar's Rakhine state
[AA.TR] The government of Myanmar said on Tuesday that four Rohingya villagers were found dead in a conflict-torn area of country’s western Rakhine state.The Office of State Counselor Aung San Suu Kyi said in a blurb that the bodies of three women and a man were found buried near Luu Pan Pyin village in the Maungdaw area last Thursday, Feb. 16. "Police are investigating who these victims are," it said, adding that the three bodies bore deep wounds, while a woman had no internal injuries. The bodies were found a day after the government announced the end of military operations in the area predominantly occupied by members of the stateless Rohingya minority group. Myanmar has been under international criticism for its military crackdown on Rohingya civilians in the northern part of Rakhine State, which has been under military lockdown since a gang killed nine coppers last October.
