Myanmar army and police ‘gang rape’ Rohingya women systematically: Human Rights Watch

‘Human Rights Watch (HRW) says Myanmarese government forces have committed “rape and other sexual violence” against women and girls of the Muslim Rohingya ethnic minority while carrying out their so-called counter-militancy operations in the western province of Rakhine.
