When contacted by Arakan Now, ARNC co-chairman Nay San Lwin said:

“It is common for perpetrators to deny their crimes. They must be brought before a court with compelling evidence that compels them to confess. In the case of the Hoinya Seeri massacre, we have survivor testimonies, photographic evidence, and other materials directly linked to the atrocity. Our task is to ensure that the perpetrator, the Arakan Army, is brought before a criminal court. We must work tirelessly to achieve this. Their denials will not protect them from accountability. Justice must be served for the victims.”

Rights groups have condemned what they say was the massacre of more than 600 Rohingya civilians in western Myanmar. Survivors say entire families were burned alive or executed last year, by the Arakan Army – a powerful rebel group.

Al Jazeera’s Tanvir Chowdhury has more from Dhaka in Bangladesh, where thousands of Rohingya have sought refuge.

Nay San Lwin is the Co-Chair of the newly formed “Arakan Rohingya National Council”, also known as ARNC. He says survivors are demanding justice and want the UN Security Council to discuss the issue immediately.
