🚨 NEW: @FortifyRights investigation documents the killing of scores of #Rohingya civilians by the Arakan Army on May 2, 2024, in Hoyyar Siri, also known as Htan Shauk Khan village in Buthidaung Township, #Rakhine State.
The International Criminal Court should include this massacre in its ongoing investigation in #Myanmar, and U.N. member states should impose targeted sanctions on AA and its commanders.
“This could not only bring accountability for Rohingya victims but also serve as a deterrent to future atrocities,” said @bouckap, Senior Director at @FortifyRights.

Two Rohingya youths jailed for sharing images. The images were real. They got the location wrong concerning the announcement.
No correction. No warning.
The Refugee Relief and Repatriation Commissioner (RRRC) moved straight to arrest.

@USCIRF@melsanousi1 Are you consistent regarding hate speeches and incitements against Islam in US and Canada? Selective narrative doesn't help, but only impartiality.
Rohingya refugees are denied the right to work.
Confined. Restricted. Contained.
Then described as “fully dependent on aid.”
This isn’t a humanitarian fact!

🇲🇲 @burmacampaignuk is calling on the UK government to impose sanctions on the Arakan Army (AA) following mounting evidence of serious human rights violations.
Investigations by @FortifyRights, alongside UN reporting, have documented killings of civilians, executions, torture, and forced displacement in Rakhine State by the AA, including abuses against Rohingya communities.
The UK should also support international accountability mechanisms and convene a UN Security Council meeting on the deteriorating situation.

📽️ As the International Court of Justice concludes hearings in the case of the #Rohingya genocide in Myanmar’s Rakhine state, survivors speak out for justice and accountability.
Fortify Rights evidence featured prominently at the hearings.
@FortifyRights stands with the Rohingya community and all survivors of the #Myanmar military’s atrocities, and remains committed to holding perpetrators accountable.
These images - from the @HolocaustMuseum exhibit: '#Burma’s Path to Genocide' - show how #Rohingya communities went from citizens to targets of genocide, piece by piece, by the #BurmeseMilitary. This is not just history. It is evidence of systematic persecution and erasure.
