The human rights organization suspects that government wants to destroy Myanmar’s evidence of crimes against Muslim minority. The inhabitants and inhabitants of villages had been fled or expelled last year.
The Asia director of Organization, Brad Adams, said, “Whoever makes se areas equal to ground will erase memory.” The villages should have been preserved so that United Nations experts can carry out investigations and identify “responsible”. The demolition threatens to erase both memory and legal claims of Rohingya, “Adams said. In total, more than 360 villages were partially or completely destroyed by arson since August last year.
A government spokesman rejected accusations against German press agency. One only wants to create space for reconstruction, said Zaw Htay. “Only burned or destroyed villages are levelled, not living.”

Muslim Rohingya have been systematically suppressed for decades in majority of Buddhist Myanmar. At end of August, conflict escalated when rebel soldiers and police attacked and killed a large number of forces. The military reacted with violence. Since n, many Rohingya have been killed, more than 655,000 fled to impoverished neighboring country of Bangladesh. At least 10,000 were killed by Doctors Without Borders. The UN called handling of Rohingya a “clear case of ethnic cleansing” and spoke of “signs of genocide”.
The countries are currently negotiating to repatriate Rohingya to Myanmar. Lastly, Myanmar said resumption of 6,000 Rohingya from a border area.
The alleged religious leader behind acts of violence against Rohingya has in present time justified its role in conflict. “If it is fanatical to protect his people, his brors of faith by all means, n I can be called a fanatic,” said Buddhist abbot Ashin Wirathu.
