The bodies of 13 Rohingya men were reportedly found dumped by a roadside in Hlegu Township, Yangon, on Monday morning.

Their wet bodies were left near a road linking Highway 7 and Ngwe Nanthar village and taken to Yangon General Hospital for a post-mortem, said the regime.

Rohingya rights activist U Nay San Lwin wrote on social media that the bodies showed signs of beating. The Irrawaddy could not independently verify his comments.
