Yangon, Sep 10 (TIWN) Entire Muslim Rohingya villages in Myanmar's Rakhine state have been demolished and replaced by police barracks, government buildings and refugee relocation camps, a BBC report revealed on Tuesday.
But Myanmar officials have denied building on top of the villages. In 2017 more than 700,000 Rohingya fled Myanmar during a military operation. The UN has described it as "textbook ethnic cleansing". Myanmar (also called Burma) has denied large-scale killings by its forces.
