Myanmar government claims to have arrested 585 people, apparently Rohingya Muslims, in connection with the attacks and clashes in Rakhine State in four months since October 9.
At least 69 people who allegedly participated in the attacks were killed by the security forces during the army’s “clearing operations.”
On the other hand, 10 policemen, seven soldiers and 13 civilians were also killed in the series of attacks and clashes perpetrated from October 9 to February 9, according to the Myanmar State Counsellor’s office, reports Xinhua.
Of the arrested attackers, 39 are facing trials for “killing people, destroying public property and communicating with illegal organisations.” (Courtesy of dhakatribune.com)
