On Saturday (December 10), the Guardian ran a story on two Rohingya women, Noor Ayesha and Sayeda Khatun.
‘Noor Ayesha held her last surviving daughter tight as their boat crossed into Bangladeshi waters. She left behind a firebombed home, a dead husband, seven slain children and the soldiers who raped her’, the Guardian wrote.
‘A group of about 20 of them appeared in front of my house’, the 40-year-old Rohingya woman recalled the morning in mid-October when her village was invaded by hundreds of Burmese government troops.’ They ordered all of us to come out in the courtyard. They separated five of our children and forced them into one of our rooms and put on the latch from outside. Then they fired a “gun-bomb” on that room and set it on fire. Five of my children were burnt to death by the soldiers. They killed my two daughters after raping them. They also killed my husband and raped me.’ (Courtesy of newagebd.net)
