The Associated Press news agency says the discovery of five mass graves confirms the killing of hundreds of Muslim-majority Rohingya last year.

The Associated Press has released a video showing what they say is the site of a massacre and at least five undisclosed mass graves of Muslim-majority Rohingya in Myanmar.

When contacted by Al Jazeera, the Myanmar government declined to comment on the video.

Al Jazeera’s Scott Heidler reports from Yangon.
