A/HRC/39/CRP.2 When the soldiers came to my village, we all ran, and they shot at us. We were around 50 people, and maybe half of us were shot. The people shot fell down while they were running. Some died and some escaped. Somehow, I escaped.1980 886. Another man described how his wife was shot as they were fleeing their village in Thit Tone Nar Gwa Son Village Tract, Maungdaw Township: I was in my house with my family, and my wife had just finished cooking the rice. We heard shooting and so we ran out of our house. My wife followed me, but she was hit by a bullet in her chest just outside the house. I tried to hold her. Then I realized she was dead. I couldn’t carry her body because the shooting did not stop. There was shooting everywhere and I had to run to save my life. I could have been hit by the same bullet but I was lucky.1981 887. Others who had found shelter, such as in nearby forested hills, witnessed fellow villagers being shot. Some who were able to return to their villages in the following days, often at night, saw many dead bodies with bullet injuries. 1982 888. Many villagers who sustained non-fatal bullet wounds had to be left behind by fleeing relatives, and are presumed dead. The intensity of the “clearance operations” made their rescue impossible. One man from Kyein Chaung village tract, known in Rohingya as Boli Bazar, in northern Maungdaw Township explained the circumstances in which his daughter was killed: I don’t know how many people died that day. The military, they were just shooting at whomever. They were shooting at people whenever they saw them, on the streets or in the houses. When they were shooting, there was no time to look back and care for those who were shot. As people were running, they were shooting at them. That is how my daughter died. She was hit fleeing. I couldn’t go back and carry her. 1983 889. Some people risked their lives to carry injured or otherwise stranded relatives to safety, or to try to recover possessions. One elderly woman stranded in Kyauk Pan Du, Maungdaw Township, was rescued by her son who was subsequently killed. She described what happened: It was complete chaos. All we could hear were the sounds of bullets. All the other family members ran away, but I was an old woman, so I stayed behind. Then my son came back to get me. He helped me and I joined my family. But then he went back to the house to get our belongings and some rice. My son was shot inside our house. The bullet went into the house and hit my son in the head. Later that night, after the military left, I went back to see my son’s dead body. He was 30 years old.1984 890. The indiscriminate shooting disproportionately affected those unable to move quickly, often children, pregnant women or those with young children, the elderly and disabled persons.1985 Their dead bodies were often discovered later, with bullet wounds. One man explained what happened to an elderly woman in his village in Kha Maung Seik, northern Maungdaw Township: There was a very old woman in my hamlet, and she was left behind by her family when the military came, as they couldn’t help her escape. When I went back to my village a few days later, I saw that she had been shot dead. I saw the bullet wound. 1986 891. Some Rohingya villagers who could not flee, or who sought shelter inside their houses, were also shot and killed or injured, when bullets penetrated thatched roofs and 1980 1981 1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 206 LI-011.
