Burmese security filled mass graves with Muslims
  • Burmese security forces organised and stood guard over Buddhist attacks on Muslim settlements before burying scores of bodies, some with their hands tied behind their backs, in mass graves, Human Rights Watch said in a report today.
Evidence of official involvement in the massacres that left hundreds dead was gathered by HRW researchers at 27 different sites in Arakan State, including at four mass graves dug between June and October last year.

The report is the most comprehensive evidence yet that the Burmese government colluded in a wave of ethnic attacks and was released just hours before the EU was due to drop sanctions on the Burmese regime as a reward for reformist pledges at a meeting in Luxembourg on Monday.

At one mass grave near the town of Sittwe, local residents took photographs of the 18 bodies dumped in a freshly dug grave. The corpses had their hands tied behind their back with plastic strips used by the police.


Going by what was said here, this is absolutely appalling and disgusting behaviour. What vile, murderous bastards. There can be no excuse for this kind of savagery. None.

I don't care what the circumstances are, this is barbaric behaviour.

Goes to show you no one religion has a corner of brutality and fanaticism.

Now why KSA isn't calling for a massive Jihad to defend the Muslims in Burma?
