Summary of the investigation [PDF](https://kaladanpress.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Kill-Them-All-02aa.pdf):

Interviews were conducted by [Razia Sultana](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Razia_Sultana_(lawyer)).

Junta troops were present preceding and during the events of May 2, 2024 (debunking Zaw Min Tun's statements). 5 ARSA militants were assisting with the junta's recruit training as well. Conscripts and volunteers alike patrolled the village.

Neighboring villagers supposedly fled to Htan Shauk Khan and Da Pyu Chaung to seek refuge near the LIB 551 base. When the Arakan Army advanced on the 4th week of April 2024, villagers were ordered to relocate to U Hla Pe. LIB 551 Captain Kyaw Min Htun and 2 recruits were shot dead after leaving a meeting with Military Operations Command 15.

The junta confiscates the weapons back from the volunteers and conscripts on May 1st before the majority of LIB 551 retreats to Buthidaung town. Less than 100 remained in the base.

Hundreds of MOC 15 soldiers were spotted by farmers in the area on May 2nd going towards the direction of LIB 551. A farmer and his family intending to flee was suddenly stopped by 50 AA fighters east of the village road.

In the southern portion of the village, loudspeakers (disputed whether they belonged to AA or the junta) ordered evacuations. Statements claimed that AA troops who arrived after threatened to kill families if they did not identify male family members who were recruited.

50 junta soldiers and recruits were hiding in the houses. AA allegedly forced out the southern inhabitants at gunpoint. Among the group were two junta soldiers. The junta soldiers and their weapons were handed over. According to a 19-year-old villager who supposedly witnessed the event, he thought the group was allowed to leave, but they were ordered to stay. He allegedly heard an unidentified AA officer speak to a fighter on a radio, "Kill them all!" \[transliterated as "Ah-lone that pit laik!"\] Gunshots rang out, and AA fighters kicked the bodies. Shortly after, a junta air force jet dropped bombs and forced AA to take cover. Apparently after the jet left, AA allegedly kicked the bodies again.

More shots rang out at fleeing people; One AA fighter then allegedly asked a group near a hillside stream while holding asked, "Kala- who has joined the \[junta\] army?" However, junta jets still flew overhead.

From May 2-4, the villagers were ordered to burn the remains in Htan Shauk Khan with hay. Some of them identified junta uniforms among the dead.

AA reportedly burned almost all of the northern section of the village leaving an outhouse and a former store. Two mosques were left standing in the southern portion, though. The groups (total of 200) were taken to U Hla Pe where they were given water and either ordered to stay with relatives or in the madrassa. AA asked how many of the group were recruited by the junta. Those who raised their hands were taken away to an unknown fate. The rest were purportedly sectioned in the village under heavy guard with little food until July 2024.

According to some women and "Rohingya collaborating with the AA," many female villagers were either raped or held as sex slaves in the LIB 551 base and nearby areas.

Those who fled to Bangladesh reportedly had to hand over 275,000 taka (about 2,300 USD), 1.3m kyat per adult, and 160k kyat per child. Utility bills and other identification papers also allegedly had to be handed over.

The report concludes that "AA troops deliberately killed hundreds of Rohingya civilians... acting on direct orders from their superiors." No specific number is mentioned, unlike the "600" mentioned by Nay San Lwin and Zaw Min Tun.
