Human Rights Watch reports that Myanmar’s Arakan Army has intensified persecution of Rohingya Muslims in Rakhine State. Since November 2023, the armed group has imposed strict movement restrictions, looted homes, forced labor, detained and tortured villagers, and enforced forced recruitment. Despite promises of fair governance, Rohingyas face increased violence similar to the Myanmar military. Food shortages and land seizures worsen conditions. Over 120,000 new Rohingya refugees arrived in Bangladesh since May 2024. HRW urges the UN and international community to ensure safe, dignified repatriation.
