We (members of the Rohingya Journalism project) have just had an online chat with a trusted Rohingya friend who we know personally and are in close contact with.
He does not live in Burma but his family do, in the Arakan/Rakhine state. He has just received some very disturbing news.
I am pasting the chat here as it is very important.
Please share widely and send to governments, media, gov orgs and none gov orgs. We cannot sit by and let this massacre happen without trying to stop it.
