Atrocities on Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar are still on. According to reports, so far about 400 people have died in this violence.

The allegations of the murder of Rohingya Muslims are being imposed on the soldiers of Myanmar. Minority community advocate say that the military and local Buddhists of Myanmar are engaged in removing evidence of this massacre. These people gather dead bodies of Muslims and then burn them.

Chris Leva, director of the Arakan project, an organization monitoring the violence in Myanmar's Rakhine area, said that we have a document that 130 people were killed together in the Rathe Daung area. She also said that in the other three villages, there have been reports of killing dozens of people.

Talking to BBC World Service, she said, "We think 130 people have died, but this figure is even higher. The security forces surround the villages and then firing indiscriminately on the people. Compared with the violence of this violence of October-November last year, this time it has been seen that this time local Buddhists have also met with the army. After the killing of people, we are seeing that the army and the common people are gathering dead bodies and burning them, so that there is no evidence."

On the other hand, the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) said on Tuesday that the number of Rohingya Muslim refugees fleeing Bangladesh to flee violence in Myanmar was 1,23,000 more than previously thought.

The UNHCR spokeswoman Vivian Tan said that the number of Rohingya Muslim refugees has been increased from yesterday's estimated number 87,000, based on more accurate data collected from established and temporary refugee camps.

He said that this means that all 36,000 new refugees entered the last 24 hours. Even then 'this number is worrying' and 'is increasing rapidly.'

The latest migration of Rohingya Muslims started on August 25, when Rohingya rebels attacked the checkpoints of Myanmar Police, after which the security forces started the campaign to annihilate the rebels.
