A/HRC/39/CRP.2 Satellite imagery analysis from 10 October 2017 showed burning detected on 16 September 829. In the aftermath of the operation, numerous corpses were strewn throughout the village. Witnesses saw bodies and in some instances separated heads, showing signs of both gunshot and knife or sword wounds, including in the compounds of houses and a large number in paddy fields.1832 830.

A series of pits were dug in different locations and the bodies put in them. 1833 A number of villagers who returned to Gu Dar Pyin some days after the operation described seeing bodies, uncovered in shallow graves, that were blackened and swollen. Video footage reviewed by the Mission shows blackened and swollen human heads demonstrating putrefactive change (decomposition). 1834 831. One interviewee, who returned to the village about three days after the operation, described moving some soil away from one of the pits, and seeing many black corpses, with faces looking as though they had been burned. The sight and smell made him nauseous. 1835 Another interviewee described that, when he returned to the village 12 days after the “clearance operation”, he saw a big pit of bodies: They were not properly covered so I could see that the bodies were swollen and the faces were black. I could not perform any funerals because the bodies were so rotten. I saw many heads separated from bodies. There were bodies in a number of different places, scattered around. Some were piled together and some were buried in the pits. There were the bodies of women and children. I only stayed in the village for an hour, but it was so horrific that I was crying on the entire journey to Bangladesh.1836 832.
