The UN human rights chief slammed [[Myanmar]]'s apparent "systematic attack" on the [[Rohingya]] minority, warning that "ethnic cleansing" seemed to be underway.
Ethnic Rohingya Muslims who fled from security forces in Myanmar's [[Rakhine State]] have described killings, shelling, and arson in their villages that have all the hallmarks of a campaign of “ethnic cleansing,” Human Rights Watch said.
“Rohingya refugees have harrowing accounts of fleeing Burmese army attacks and watching their villages be destroyed,” said Meenakshi Ganguly, South Asia director. “Lawful operations against armed groups do not involve burning the local population out of their homes.” <ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.thedailystar.net/world/south-asia/atrocities-rohingyas-myanmar-have-hallmarks-ethnic-cleansing-hrw-1459276|title='Military atrocities on Rohingyas have hallmarks of ethnic cleansing'|date=September 8, 2017|website=The Daily Star}}</ref>
