THREAD: In August 2017, Myanmar's military launched a brutal campaign in Rakhine State that drove more than 700,000 Rohingya Muslims into Bangladesh. We investigated the killings and the aftermath in a powerful series called “Myanmar Burning.” reut.rs/2CC5kV1
Our first investigation revealed a massacre of 10 Rohingya men and boys at a village called Inn Din. Myanmar soldiers and Rakhine villagers rounded them up and shot or hacked them to death. reut.rs/2EEft50 @specialreports
Our Reuters colleagues Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo were arrested while reporting on the massacre and later sentenced to 7 years in jail. Their plight underscored what critics saw as deteriorating press freedom under Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi's government reuters.com/investigates/s… 
The families of the 10 dead Rohingya men fled to Bangladesh, where they scattered across the world's largest refugee camp. We tracked down the families. Traumatized and bereft, they told us about the day their men were taken away. reut.rs/2EzAIou
Myanmar’s military is so secretive that even its official spokesmen rarely speak to the media. Reuters revealed how two light infantry divisions, famed for ruthless offensives against ethnic minorities, spearheaded the campaign against the Rohingya. reut.rs/2CphLTK
Facebook's "Project Honey Badger" was meant to tackle hate speech in Myanmar. It didn't. A Reuters investigation found over 1,000 examples of posts, comments and images, some calling Muslims and Rohingya maggots or rapists, or demanding their extermination reut.rs/2EANFOJ
A Muslim lawyer wanted to curb the military's power. Then a gunman stepped out of the crowd at Yangon airport and put a bullet through his head. We showed how the murder of Ko Ni, an adviser to Aung San Suu Kyi, signaled dark days for Myanmar. reut.rs/2CtjwQ9
Most reporters are banned from northern Rakhine State. So we used satellite imagery and government maps to reveal what Myanmar had done there since expelling the Rohingya. A U.N. rights envoy told us the authorities were making that expulsion irreversible. reut.rs/2EEbFRd
Once a global icon, Aung San Suu Kyi is now isolated and besieged by critics. The U.N. says her government did nothing to avert the military's "genocidal" campaign against the Rohingya. Our visual history retraced her remarkable life. reut.rs/2Crg6xd
Finally, a tale of two sisters. It’s hard for a young woman from a remote Myanmar village to get to university, harder still for a Rohingya woman fleeing a brutal military crackdown. Formin Akter did it - but had to leave her beloved sister behind. reut.rs/2CsAoGk
