                However, this is not the first report of massacres of Rohingya.
           There are witness accounts of Rohingya being taken prisoner and
           used in human trafficking, being tortured to death in various ways, of
           bodies being taken out into the jungle in lorries and being cut into
           pieces and buried in pits, of women being raped and having their

           breasts cut off before they are killed.


                The Muslim Rohingya people are in desperate straits, the
                UN should take immediate actions


                The Rohingya people are in a state of fear yet there is nothing
           they can do to protect themselves. They have no organization to shel-
           ter them and no citizenship or legal rights. They lack the slightest
           technological means by which to make their voices heard to the
           world.

                The Myanmar government, on the other hand, denied all these

           reports when U.N. Human Rights Special rapporteur Tomas Ojea
           Quintana asked for an investigation into them, and said that no
           Rohingya people have died, apart from a police officer. Hla Maung
           Tin, Prime Minister of the Province of Rakhine, instead accused the
           world media of waging a "smear campaign." Of course, we must not
           forget here that since the Rohingya are not regarded as citizens, they

           have no identity documents; therefore, if they die or disappear there
           are no official records to prove their existence of otherwise. So if the
           allegations are true, witness statements and the presence of corpses
           are the main evidence that can confirm the incidents. It is reported,

           however, that officials have covered up the evidence of the slaughter
           as quickly as possible, for which reason the world is unaware of that
           evidence of the massacres.
