Fortify rights representatives Fortify Rights of course is an International Human rights group they have viewed this video they obtained it by from the kind of army our kind of army is a rebel group in iraq and state they are fighting the government of myanmar for greater autonomy in the region and they say that the video shows the confession of these 2 tatmadaw soldiers the tatmadaw is the name for me and morris military that they are foot soldiers and that these soldiers describe how they were ordered to exterminate rohingya who they saw in these villages that these soldiers name at least 19 other members of the military including senior commanders and that in these confessions they talk about the Clearance Operations in which they killed numerous villagers and in which they also participated in rapes of Village Women this is all very disturbing and of course ive been told by members of other Rights Groups that what is being described in these videos very much fits the pattern of testimonies taken from Rohingya Refugees over the years as far as the atrocities that were committed against them when that brutal crackdown by min mars military started in iraq and state in august of 2070 staff osten has more from the hague.

C. C. The International Criminal court has a significant Protection Program for witnesses so if they are here its very likely that the court has helped them get.

N. Investigator at the height of the crisis she says these soldiers testimony confirms the stories told by displaced roving go. This is an astounding turn of events and certainly when i was a u. N. Investigator on the borders of allegations as the hundreds of thousands were hanged whod across the border we never thought that we would be in this situation the stories that i knew seem to resonate with what we have seen from the testing these these 2 former me and my soldiers that they were ordered to kill indiscriminately they were ordered to rape to gang rape crucially brutal Sexual Violence and since that time i now represent hundreds of bring some of them are from the villages that these 2 former miramar soldiers have talked about and i talked to them earlier today in the camps to try to gauge their reaction to this and what they said was relief relief that the world has had what has happened finally an admission from the me and marley but also that tends to anger and sorrow and thinking about their loved ones that all saved everything got that still remain in millions.
