Myanmar's ‘clearance operations’ against Rohingya are continuing, Human Rights Watch warns

MYANMAR is still destroying Rohingya villages despite last month’s agreement with Bangladesh allowing refugees to return home, New York-based Human Rights Watch charged yesterday.

More than 630,000 Rohingya have fled into Bangladesh since the Myanmar army began “clearance operations” after a group of Rohingya insurgents attacked police posts.

Refugees reported their homes being set ablaze by soldiers and Buddhist mobs, while some claimed to have been shot at.
