A/HRC/39/CRP.2 stabbed and burned. I couldn’t bear it. I couldn’t even take any of my clothes with me, everything was burned.2150 950. The Mission met a large number of children in the Bangladesh refugee camps in September and October 2017 who exhibited visible injuries corresponding with accounts of being shot with live ammunition, stabbed with a sharp implement, or burned. For example, the medical records of a 15-year old girl from Chut Pyin confirmed that she had been shot by live ammunition, consistent with the account she had given of being shot by a soldier. A 12year old girl from Nga Yant Chaung, Buthidaung Township, showed injuries to her leg which she said occurred when she was shot by soldiers, and her Bangladesh hospital medical records showed that she had spent 30 days in hospital for two gunshot wounds. She was unable to walk when the Mission met her.2151 951. Children were also victims of sexual violence. Girls and young women were targeted for rape, mass gang rape, sexual slavery and forced nudity. They were selected by members of the Tatmadaw for sexual violence, including girls of 11 or younger, some as young as seven. The Tatmadaw used schools as military camps during the “clearance operations”, 2152 where civilians were subject to sexual violence, beatings and tortured, and in some instances women and girls were raped and mass gang raped. Girls were also abducted from their homes by the Tatmadaw and police in the lead up to the 2017 “clearance operation” and were frequently raped, mass gang raped and killed following their abduction and detention. Disappearances of men and boys 952. The clearance operations also resulted in the arbitrary arrest and detention, as well as the disappearance, of many Rohingya men and boys, perpetrated by the Tatmadaw, often amounting to enforced disappearances. Their removal was usually violent, with victims beaten and rounded up into groups, with their hands tied together and sometimes blindfolded, before being taken away.2153 953. One mother described Tatmadaw soldiers tying up her son and other male villagers, using rope that they had cut from cows. They were then made to lie on the ground.2154 Another female witness described how male members of her family were rounded up in Maung Gyi Taung village tract, in Buthidaung Township: The military tied their hands behind their back with a rope. There were 25 men tied in line to the same rope, including my 18-year old son and my husband. They were badly beaten and forced to lie down on the ground.2155 954. Another villager described the experience in Nga Yant Chaung, also in Buthidaung Township: They were going into different houses and taking some of the men. They gathered the men and told them to line up. They tied them up together by the hands. While they were tying them up, they hit the men with guns, and kicked them injuring some of them, while continuing to round men up.2156 955. Information suggests that mostly young men were targeted and detained, together with persons considered as respected or influential, 2157 including religious leaders, teachers and village administrators. In most instances, the men were taken away from the village, either on foot or in military trucks or vehicles. 956. This pattern of the targeting and disappearing of men also appears to have continued during the flight to Bangladesh. One woman described how the group she was travelling with 2150 2151 2152 2153 2154 2155 2156 2157 220 WI-033. EI-040 EI-077. EI-030, LI-048, QI-115, WI-007, WI-017, YI-001. EI-030. YI-001. WI-007.
