Eight Rohingya Muslim women say they were raped at gunpoint by Burma Army soldiers during counter-terror operations in the remote and conflict-ravaged Arakan State of in the west of Burma, which is officially known as Myanmar. Reuters reports that villagers claim dozens of women may have been sexually assaulted near the state’s northern Maungdaw township, though access to the area—which borders Bangladesh—is severely limited, making claims almost impossible to verify. However, the agency gained access to the village of U Shey Kya, where three women recounted their assaults in person.
