“Tools of Genocide” METHODOLOGY This report is based on 628 interviews, including interviews with 304 women, conducted from 2014 to 2019 by Fortify Rights in Rakhine State, Myanmar; Cox’s Bazar District, Bangladesh; and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This includes 104 qualitative interviews conducted by Fortify Rights from October 2018 to August 2019 with eyewitnesses and survivors of human rights violations in Myanmar as well as with members of civil society organizations and humanitarian aid workers. This figure also includes 29 previously unpublished testimonies collected by Fortify Rights from Rohingya confined to internment camps in Sittwe Township, Rakhine State and located in other parts of Myanmar, Bangladesh, and Malaysia in 2014 and 2015. Lastly, the report draws on select findings from forthcoming research conducted in July and August 2018 by a team of Rohingya researchers supported and guided by Fortify Rights in Cox’s Bazar District, Bangladesh. The Rohingya research team interviewed a total of 495 Rohingya refugees, including 264 women, residing in 33 different sections of the refugee camps in southeastern Bangladesh. Fortify Rights conducted qualitative interviews with Rohingya in the Rohingya language with the assistance of an EnglishRohingya interpreter. Everyone interviewed for this report gave free, prior, and informed consent to be interviewed and for their testimony to be publicized. No one interviewed for this report received compensation, and all were informed of the purpose of the interview, its voluntary nature, and how the information might be used. Fortify Rights reimbursed the modest travel costs for three Rohingya to meet in a secure location. The locations of some interviews, names of survivors, eyewitnesses, and others, the location details of the interviews, and other identifying details are withheld or changed in this report for security reasons. On August 7, 2019, Fortify Rights sent a letter to the Government of Myanmar requesting further information on the NVC process. Myanmar President Win Myint, State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi, Commander Major General Teza Kyaw of the Myanmar Army Northern Command, Minister of Social Welfare, Relief and Resettlement Dr. Win Myat Aye, Minister for Labor, Immigration and Population Thein Swe, and the Chairperson of Myanmar National Human Rights Commission Win Mra received a copy of the letter. At the time of writing, Fortify Rights had not received a response. The letter is included as Annex III of this report.
