The Dhaka Times Desk The court sentenced 7 soldiers of the country to 10 years in prison for the genocide in Rakhine, Myanmar. The Myanmar army gave this information in a statement on Thursday.
Seven army personnel have been sentenced to 10 years in prison for their involvement in the killing of 10 people from the Rohingya minority in September last year in Myanmar's Rakhine State.
The statement of the army also said that the police and local armed organizations involved in the massacre in that village in Rakhine will also be brought to justice.
Through the statement, the country's army admitted for the first time that it was involved in the genocide against the Rohingya.
Last year, the Myanmar government started a terrible military operation in the Rakhine province of Myanmar, accusing it of an attack on an army post. The police and local terrorist groups also joined the operation and brutally attacked the innocent Muslim Rohingya population. Unspeakable killings, rapes and disappearances started indiscriminately against the Rohingyas with government support. The United Nations and the United States have been calling the operation in Myanmar as an ethnic cleansing operation since the beginning. This time, through this sentence, his truth has been proved to some extent.
