Geneva: In the 10 days since the Myanmar government imposed a new internet shutdown in violence-wracked Rakhine state, civilians in western Myanmar have been killed, injured and displaced, UN human rights observers reported on Tuesday.
Five townships in or near Rakhine, where the military is accused of committing genocide against the Rohingya minority, had mobile phone data cut off on February 3.
A day later, the UN observers started receiving credible reports of daily fighting involving helicopters and navy ships. The report indicates that up to 1,100 have been displaced in the past 10 days, including 600 from a village in Kyauktaw township. (DPA)
