A/HRC/39/CRP.2 775. While the Mission has not been able to verify the accuracy of the full list, the Mission interviewed dozens of victims who had lost many family members in Min Gyi. One 25-year old man interviewed had lost his entire family: his father and his three younger brothers of 13, nine and seven years old were shot and killed and he believes his mother, wife and sisters were killed by soldiers inside the houses. 1682 A 27-year old woman saw 11 family members killed that day on the shore, including her 20-day old baby who she said was slaughtered with a knife and thrown on the ground. 1683 A 22-year old man reported returning to the village to collect the dead bodies of his family though he found only burned bodies.1684 A 25-year old female survivor of rape reported that she lost eight members of her family, including her 28day old baby.1685 776. All interviewees identified Tatmadaw soldiers as the main perpetrators.1686 A number recognised the insignia of the Western Command on the shoulder patch. 1687 Many accounts also described helmeted soldiers in camouflage uniform that were distinguishable from other regular uniformed soldiers.1688 The Mission believes these soldiers to be from the 99th LID.1689 Credible sources have identified the 99th LID as being present in Min Gyi during the attack.1690 777. Ethnic Rakhine and members of other ethnic minorities participated. Several interviewees identified ethnic Rakhine, as well as Mro (Murong), Chakma and Kui from nearby villages.1691 They were equipped with long knives, machetes and other type of local weapons.1692 Some saw them also use knives to kill, including children. 1693 778. Survivors of rape in Min Gyi also identified members of the Tatmadaw and soldiers in camouflage as the perpetrators of rape and killing of women and children in the houses. It is likely that this indicates the involvement of the 99th LID as perpetrators of these rapes .1694 Chut Pyin 779. Chut Pyin (known in Rohingya as Shuap Parung) is in northern Rathedaung, at the intersection of the three townships of northern Rakhine State. Chut Pyin includes a Rohingya village, with an original population estimated as approximately 1,200 inhabitants, and an ethnic Rakhine hamlet, Thet (known in Rohingya as Chak Para), inhabited by approximately 400 ethnic Rakhine, located a short distance away. Within the village tract there was another Rohingya village, Chin (Pyaing Taung). There was one security forces’ camp to the north of the Rohingya hamlet located close to Thet, where Tatmadaw, Police and BGP had been stationed.1695 780. A number of events, occurring throughout July and August 2017 in and around Chut Pyin village tract, had heightened tensions in the north of Rathedaung Township. 1696 An increased military presence led to severely restricted freedom of movement for villagers in 1682 1683 1684 1685 1686 1687 1688 1689 1690 1691 1692 1693 1694 1695 1696 184 YI-025.
