Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) has documented forensic evidence of the serious injuries and trauma suffered by the Rohingya at the hands of the Myanmar security forces and Rakhine Buddhist civilians. Thousands of people were killed, numerous women and girls were raped, often in front of their families, and entire villages were burned to the ground.
Teams of PHR doctors and investigators traveled to the Rohingya refugee camps to forensically document the gunshot wounds, beatings, rapes, burns and other trauma suffered by the Rohingya to corroborate their stories and help them seek justice.
PHR urges that these atrocities be investigated as crimes against humanity and those responsible be identified and held accountable through appropriate mechanisms. Join us today in urging the United States government to take action in Myanmar and demand criminal investigations under international law.
