A/HRC/39/CRP.2 the separation of 10 men from a group of several hundreds gathered on the beach on 1 September 2017, who were executed the following day. 1961 This account is consistent with information verified by the Mission,1962 including the account of the wife of one of the men, given shortly after she had arrived in Bangladesh in September 2017. She explained how she and family members had gathered on the beach. Then the men were separated and made to sit in rows with their hands tied behind their backs, including her husband and brother. She had not seen them since and had been told that they were killed.1963 878. The “clearance operations” in Inn Din were led and largely undertaken by Tatmadaw soldiers, supported by local BGP officers and ethnic Rakhine. Locally-based soldiers from the Western Command were joined by members of the 33 rd LID during the course of the operation.1964 Some of the ethnic Rakhine who participated were from local villages; they were recognised by Rohingya witnesses. 1965 However, some soldiers and police may also have worn civilian clothes alongside ethnic Rakhine villagers, in an attempt to avoid being recognised as members of the security forces. 1966 879. Satellite imagery analysis indicates that, by 16 September 2017, the majority and possibly all Rohingya houses and buildings inside Inn Din were burned and destroyed. 1967 The neighbouring NaTaLa village of Pae Youne was untouched. Further satellite imagery analysis shows that, by 16 February 2018, most of the burned Rohingya properties, along with trees and other vegetation, were bulldozed and cleared.1968 Other verified incidents 880. “Clearance operations” following the same modus operandi took place in numerous other Rohingya villages across northern Rakhine State. The Mission verified, through multiple interviews and other information, “clearance operations” similar to those detailed above in a total of 54 separate locations, and it received first-hand accounts of additional “clearance operations” in a further 22 locations. 881. For example, in northern Maungdaw Township, the Mission verified additional “clearance operations”, which saw serious human rights violations against Rohingya, in the village tracts of Kun Thee Pyin, 1969 Tha Man Thar,1970 Kha Maung Seik,1971 Pa Da Ga Day Wa Na Li / Net Chaung1972 and Kyein Chaung.1973 Similarly, in Buthidaung Township, the Mission verified “clearance operations” in Tin May1974, as well as in a large cluster of villages, known collectively in Rohingya as Taung Bazar. Multiple Rohingya villages in this region were subjected to a wave of “clearance operations” as soldiers moved from one village to the next over a period of days. These included operations in the village tracts of Mee Chaung Zay,1975 Nga Yant Chaung,1976 and Thin Gar Net.1977 1961 1962 1963 1964 1965 1966 1967 1968 1969 1970 1971 1972 1973 1974 1975 1976 1977 204 Wa Lone, Kyaw Soe Oo, S.
