Summary:
Recommendations -- Methodology -- I. Killings in Tula Toli-- II. Mass rape and killing of women and children -- Acknowledgments. "On the morning of August 30, 2017, hundreds of uniformed Burmese soldiers arrived in the village of Tula Toli, in northern Rakhine State, where they carried out a brutal and systematic attack of killings, rape, and arson against the Rohingya Muslim villagers. The massacre at Tula Toli came days after coordinated attacks on police posts by the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA). Following those attacks, the Burmese military launched a large-scale campaign of ethnic cleansing, forcing more than 645,000 Rohingya to flee across the border to Bangladesh. [This report] details the Burmese army's attack on Tula Toli, based on in-depth interviews with 18 Rohingya survivors conducted in refugee camps in Bangladesh. The report reveals strong evidence of military planning: soldiers rapidly confined villagers on the riverbank, separated men and women, executed the men, and rounded-up groups of women and girls in nearby houses to be raped and killed. Analysis of satellite imagery confirms the village was completely destroyed by arson. The documented abuses contribute to Human Rights Watch's conclusion that the Burmese military's atrocities against Rohingya amount to crimes against humanity."--Back cover.
