Rohingya refugees beg Wednesday for financial help from commuters at roadside near Kutupalang Makeshift Refugee Camp in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh. About 1.1 million Rohingya Muslims live in apartheid-like conditions in northwestern Myanmar, where they are denied citizenship. The OHCHR report cited supporting evidence including bullet and knife wounds sustained by refugees and satellite imagery showing destruction of villages. The OHCHR report was based on interviews with 220 people, the majority of whom said they knew of people who had been killed or disappeared. The OHCHR report details deaths in random firings, including from helicopters and grenades; targeted killings of imams and teachers, slitting of throats with knives and locking people inside burning houses.
