Myanmar authorities have attacked a number of Rohingya Muslims stranded on the border between Myanmar and Bangladesh in the border area of the city of Tambro.
The Arakan news agency learned from its sources that the Myanmar authorities had attacked Rohingyas stranded in the city of Tambro by beating and insulting them while they were near the area where they had fled the military campaign launched by government forces.
A Rohingya refugees across the border said that a small number of Rohingya are still stranded on the border because of the barbed wire fence separating the two countries.
Video footage from Rohingya activists showed a number of soldiers patrolling the border and said the soldiers were involved in the attack on the refugees.
Some 6,000 Rohingyas in the area are anxiously waiting to be returned to Myanmar, with many fearing a return, especially after recent events in which about 100 houses were torched in the city of Tambro as the return of refugees approaches, the Associated Press reported.
