Appendix The Inn Din Massacre near the Kaladan Project The images depicted below highlight the Inn Din Massacre as reported by Reuters investigative journalists Wa Lone, Kyaw Soe Oo, Simon Lewis and Antoni Slodkowski (2018). In a series entitled “Myanmar Burning,” the authors expose critical evidence of genocide and human rights violations in Rakhine State against ethnic Rohingya Muslims. Named the Inn Din Massacre, the incident involved the slaughter of ten Rohingya men and subsequent attempts to cover the evidence by burying their bodies in a shallow, mass grave. It is important to note that the location of the mass grave is in a region that was strategically reconfigured by the military in one of its many clearance operations associated with the Kaladan (and Kyaukpyu) development projects. While this is a single incident it serves as an example of the way in which the Tatmadaw’s economic ambitions outweigh the most basic human rights. Satellite Image 1 below depicts the destruction of a known Rohingya neighborhood in Inn Din (right) while the largely Buddhist neighborhood (left) is left untouched. Evidence can be seen of new military structures being constructed over the formerly Rohingya land, supporting the assertion that, despite the undertone of racial tensions, there is imminent military motive behind the clearance operations in Rakhine state. 101
