Forced Migration of Rohingya: The Untold Experience

Source researchgate

As you know, to mark the one year of Rohingya Crisis, a research consortium consisting of academics, practitioners and organisations launched a report entitled "Forced Migration of Rohingya: The Untold Experience". The key findings of the research, based on 650,000 refugees, are as follows:

§ An estimated 116,000 Rohingya were beaten by Myanmar authorities when family members are included.
§ An estimated 43,000 Rohingya received gunshot wounds when family members are included.
§ An estimated 36,000 Rohingya were thrown into fire.
§ An estimated 25,000 Rohingya were murdered.
§ An estimated 19,000 Rohingya women and adolescents were raped
§ 82% of participants reported witnessing their neighbours' death or saw dead bodies in Myanmar before fleeing to Bangladesh.
§ 59% of participants reported witnessing neighbours who had been victims of raped by Myanmar authorities.
§ 85% of participants reported witnessing of the burning down of their own or neighbours' homes.
§ 96% of Rohingya demanded Myanmar citizenship.
§ 96% of Rohingya demanded justice through prosecution of the perpetrators. 
§ Over 93% of Rohingya wanted UN peace force deployment in Rakhine as a precondition for their repatriation to Myanmar.

Putting this together published our research activity on Rohingya Crisis in a Book "Forced Migration of Rohingya: The Untold Experience". All the facts, stories and summaries very heart breaking.
