A U.S.-based human rights group on Tuesday accused Bangladeshi authorities of responding with unnecessary force to student protesters demonstrating against poor road safety after a speeding bus killed two students last week in Dhaka. At least 140 students protesting in the capital city have sustained injuries since Saturday as police responded with rubber bullets and tear gas. Human Rights Watch said members of the ruling party’s youth wing also attacked protesters with machetes and sticks.

The Myanmar government used bulldozers to clear out at least 55 Rohingya Muslim villages in an operation that could destroy evidence of abuse against the minority group, Human Rights Watch reported Friday. The satellite images, provided by Colorado-based DigitalGlobe, showed the villages void of structures and vegetation. Security forces in Myanmar, also known as Burma, launched a clearance operation in August that sent about 700,000 Rohingya fleeing into neighboring Bangladesh. Satellite imagery at the time showed authorities initially torched the majority of the Rohingya villages.

Myanmar on Tuesday agreed with Bangladesh to resettle more than 6,000 Rohingya Muslims stranded between the two countries since the Myanmar military began clearance operations in August. The unrest has sent about 700,000 Rohingya fleeing Myanmar, also known as Burma, into Bangladesh, but thousands of others remain at the Tombru border crossing. Bangladesh Relief and Refugee Commissioner Abul Kalam confirmed Myanmar would settle the refugees and noted the process must be voluntary. “The refugees told us they want to go back and get settled in their homes,” Kalam said.

More than two dozen Rohingya Muslims now in refugee camps in Bangladesh confirmed the existence of at least five mass graves in the Myanmar village of Gu Dar Pyin following the military’s clearance operations, the Associated Press reported Thursday. Myanmar’s military in August launched attacks against the Rohingya Muslims in Rakhine state days after militants attacked security posts. More than 650,000 Rohingya fled into neighboring Bangladesh, detailing stories of mass assaults and killings.
