人權觀察報告：緬甸士兵輪姦羅興亞婦女

Burmese soldiers have gang raped Rohingya women in continued violence against the Muslim minority in the Rakhine state, according to a Human Rights Watch report.

Human Rights Watch cited first-hand interviews with 52 Rohingya women and girls who fled to Bangladesh and reported being raped by security forces in Myanmar. All but one of the interviewees was gang raped, HRW said.

HRW also spoke with multiple humanitarian organizations in Bangladesh who have reported "hundreds" of rape cases. Numbers of rape victims are likely much higher, as social stigma keeps many women silent. The numbers also cannot account for those who were killed after they were raped.

More than 600,000 Rohingya Muslims have left Myanmar's Rakhine State since August 25, after insurgents attacked security forces and prompted a brutal military crackdown.

Myanmar's government has repeatedly rejected claims that atrocities, including rape and extrajudicial killings, are occurring in northern Rakhine.

Myanmar does not recognize the Rohingya and denies them citizenship, referring to them as “Bengali.”

Though Aung San Suu Kyi has been criticized for sidestepping allegations of abuses, many Western governments have been reluctant to ostracize her during a fragile transition to democracy.國際人權組織人權觀察的一份報告說，緬甸軍隊繼續在若干邦對穆斯林少數族裔施暴，輪姦羅興亞族婦女。

人權觀察引述52名羅興亞族婦女和女孩的直接面談內容。這些逃到孟加拉國的女性說，她們在緬甸被政府軍強姦。人權觀察說，這些被強姦的女性中除一人外，都是被輪姦。

人權觀察在孟加拉國接觸的多個人道救援組織說，有數以百計的強姦案。實際數字可能更高，因爲社會壓力讓很多被強姦者保持沉默。統計數字也不包括被姦殺的女性。

自從8月25號以來，60多萬穆斯林逃離了緬甸若開邦。反政府分子攻擊了政府保安部隊後，緬甸軍隊隨後進行了殘酷鎮壓。

緬甸政府一再否認在若開邦發生了殺戮、強姦和法外處決。

緬甸不承認羅興亞族，不准他們成爲公民，稱他們爲孟加拉人。

緬甸實際上的領袖昂山素季被批評對侵犯人權的現象視而不見。不過，鑑於緬甸正處於向民主過渡的脆弱期，很多西方政府不願意孤立昂山素季。
