Human Rights Watch has accused Myanmar security forces of a systematic campaign of sex crimes - including the rape of women and girls - against Rohingya Muslims in the country's Rakhine State.

Some women described seeing their young children, husbands and parents being murdered before being beaten and raped, according to a report by the group.

The allegation follows interviews with 52 Rohingya women and girls from 19 villages who have fled to Bangladesh.

Twenty-nine of them said they had been raped, and all but one of the sex attacks were gang rapes.
