The Myanmar army has committed new war crimes against the Muslim Rohingya minority in the western province of Arakan, Amnesty International said on Wednesday.

He cited evidence of the army's extrajudicial killings, torture, arbitrary arrests and enforced disappearances.

"These crimes show an army that is irresponsible and accountable and intimidates civilians," said the regional director.

The Myanmar army had carried out operations in Arakan in 2017 against those he described as rebels, but UN investigators said that what he did against the Rohingyas then amounted to genocide.

The new report, entitled "No one protects us", documents violations and war crimes committed in the Arakan region.

The report spoke to 81 people, 54 of whom lived in the province and 27 outside.

The report included field data gathered during the last period, in addition to many photographs and videos, documenting these violations.

The report also said that the Myanmar army has been carrying out random attacks against the Rohingya since January, killing and injuring scores of people.

He pointed to the continuing execution of extrajudicial executions, arbitrary arrests and torture, in addition to ill-treatment and kidnappings, during the same period.

The report showed evidence that some military units in Myanmar's army were responsible for the deaths of several people in Arakan.

On the other hand, the report revealed the continued displacement of thousands of Muslims and prevent the entry of humanitarian assistance to areas affected by the campaigns of repression and violations.

He explained that the security forces in Myanmar have been using various methods to silence the voices of journalists critical of the army, as a result of these violations.

Since 25 August 2017, Myanmar armed forces and Buddhist militias have launched a military campaign and carried out brutal massacres against the Muslim minority in Arakan.

This campaign led to the displacement of 90,000 Rohingyis to neighboring Bangladesh, where they live in dire conditions, and human rights reports speak of the impossibility of returning home under the current circumstances.
