Inn Din is a village in northern Rakhine State, Myanmar.[2][3] The village is in an area of mixed ethnicity, including Rohingya and ethnic Rakhine people.[4] In December 2017, a mass grave with ten Rohingya men was discovered near the Inn Din cemetery. In January 2018, the Myanmar military admitted that its soldiers and Rakhine paramilitaries had killed the ten Rohingyas in September of the previous year.[5]
