Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo worked meticulously last year to unpick events that led to the slaughter of 10 Rohingya men in the village of Inn Din in the Myanmar province of Rakhine. This was one of many massacres committed after the army sealed the province off and began a systematic campaign of terror which has driven the majority of the Muslim population into Bangladesh. The report published by Reuters after the arrest of its two reporters was unprecedented. It provided a detailed record of the kind of planning, incitement to violence, and murderous brutality that led a UN investigation team last week to recommend that Myanmar’s army leadership should be tried for genocide.
瓦隆(Wa Lone)和覺梭(Kyaw Soe Oo)去年進行了細致入微的調查，試圖查清緬甸若開邦(Rakhine)因丁村(Inn Din) 10名羅興亞人遭屠殺的先因后果。這是在軍隊封鎖該邦并啟動系統性恐嚇行動后發生的多場屠殺之一，軍隊的系統性恐嚇行動已把大多數穆斯林人口趕到孟加拉國。路透社(Reuters)在其兩名記者被捕后發表的這份報告是史無前例的。該報告詳細記錄了軍方是如何蓄謀策劃、煽動暴力和殘忍施暴。報告中披露的情況促使聯合國(UN)的一個調查小組上周建議，應以種族滅絕罪對緬甸軍方領導人進行審判。
