Myanmar’s army in 2017 forced more than 730,000 Rohingya Muslims into neighbouring Bangladesh.
The army has said they were targeting terrorists, but the United Nations has said the campaign was executed with “genocidal intent”. “The practice of incommunicado detention must be immediately brought to an end,” said the experts, who report to the UN Human Rights Council on Myanmar, extrajudicial executions and torture respectively.
The UN statement said the rights experts had reports of at least 15 deaths in custody of men alleged to be linked to the Arakan Army, and called on the army to make public the results of its investigation and hold anyone responsible to account.
