Tensions in Myanmar continue as ten Rohingya Muslims were found murdered in a mass grave and seven military personnel were accused of being accomplices in their deaths.

In a Facebook statement, the Myanmar army chief said the men have been permanently expelled from duty and sentenced to ten years in prison and hard labour.

The sentencing follows troubled times across the country as aid workers report over six thousand seven hundred Rohingya Muslims have been killed between August and September 2017, however information is limited as the government denies external access to northern regions.
