'No water for him. Let him die': Horrifying moment Burmese Buddhists set fire to Muslim man in riots which left 43 dead
Horrifying footage has emerged of police officers standing by while Burmese Buddhist rioters set fire to a Muslim man.
The video was largely filmed by police in the city of Meiktila during intense clashes between a gang of Buddhists known as the '969 squad' and Muslims last month which left 43 people dead.
In the grainy footage posted on the internet a man - almost certainly a Muslim - is seen rolling around on the ground in agony after being set alight by an angry mob.
His body is charred, but he is clearly still alive and moves slowly as a crowd surrounds him. Several policeman can be seen looking on.
A voice can be heard calling for water, to which another voice replies ' No water for him. Let him die.'
The clip surfaced today as Human Rights Watch published a report which concluded Burmese authorities and members of Arakanese groups have committed crimes against humanity in a campaign of ethnic cleansing Muslims.
The sectarian violence, the worst seen in Asia's fledgling democracy since last year's conflict, was sparked after an argument between a Muslim gold shop owner and his customers in the city of Meikhtila.
Anti-Muslim followers are known as the '969 squad' and hand out stickers printed with the number '969', which symbolise elements of Buddhism.
