4 Rohingya found dead in Myanmar's Rakhine state

The government of Myanmar said on Tuesday that four Rohingya villagers were found dead in a conflict-torn area of country’s western Rakhine state.

The Office of State Counselor Aung San Suu Kyi said in a press release that the bodies of three women and a man were found buried near Luu Pan Pyin village in the Maungdaw area last Thursday, Feb. 16.

“Police are investigating who these victims are,” it said, adding that the three bodies bore deep wounds, while a woman had no internal injuries.

The bodies were found a day after the government announced the end of military operations in the area predominantly occupied by members of the stateless Rohingya minority group. (Courtesy of aa.com.tr)
