Two news outlets say two Myanmar soldiers have recounted gruesome details of the 2017 military campaign against Rohingya Muslims in northern Rakhine state that the United Nations has categorized as genocide.
The New York Times and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation report the soldiers, identified as Pvt. Myo Win Tun and Pvt. Zaw Naing Tun, deserted the Myanmar army, known as the Tatmadaw, last month and spoke on camera in separate interviews about the crimes they witnessed and participated in.
