Targeting Rohingya Muslims in Burma

AT last somebody in an official position has said something. United Nations human rights chief Navi Pillay has called for an independent investigation into claims that Burmese security forces are systematically targeting the Rohingyas, a Muslim minority community living in the Arakan region. Even the Burmese government says at least 78 Rohingya Muslims were murdered; their own community leaders say 650 have been killed.
Nobody disputes the fact that about 100,000 Rohingya Muslims (out of a population of 800,000) are now internal refugees in Burma, while others have fled across the border into Bangladesh. As you would expect, the Buddhist monks of Burma have stood up to be counted. Unfortunately, this time they are standing on the wrong side.

 This is perplexing. When the Pope lectures the world about morality, few non-Catholics pay attention. When Ayatollah Khamenei of Iran instructs the world about good and evil, most people who aren’t Shiite Muslims just shrug. But Buddhist leaders are given more respect, because most people think that Buddhism really is a religion of tolerance and peace.
When the Dalai Lama speaks out about injustice, people listen. Most of them don’t share his beliefs, and they probably won’t act on his words, but they listen with respect. But he hasn’t said anything at all about what is happening to the Rohingyas — and neither has any other Buddhist leader of note.

Rohingya could be facing threat of ethnic cleansing, says advocacy group

 

The continuing violence against the Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar and the blocking of aid for them by Buddhists in Myanmar could be seen as an attempt at ethnic cleansing, according to Chris Lewa, director of the Arakan Project, a nongovernmental group that advocates for the Rohingya, adding that the international community should put pressure on the government to immediately control the situation.

 

 

“Blocking of aid could be seen as an attempt to ethnic cleansing -- to starve the Rohingyans to force them to flee and leave. The international community should pressure the government to urgently control the situation, provide security for the Rohingya Muslims and to humanitarian workers as well as to ensure access and delivery of aid to affected people. If this is not done immediately, then external intervention should be forced upon, but I doubt this could actually happen.”

Protesters around the World denounces Rohingya Muslims massacre in Myanmar

 

JNN 30 July 2012 Moscow : Tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets in Iran, Turkey, Pakistan, India, Indonesia, Malaysia , Russia and other countries to condemn the massacre of the Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar.Shia Muslims in Russia have lashed out at international organizations for keeping silent about the mass slaughter of ethnic Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar.

Iranian worshippers across the country held demonstrations after Friday prayers to express their solidarity with Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar who are experiencing an appalling situation.
The demonstrators called on international organizations to take action to stop the killing of Muslims in Myanmar and urged Muslims all over the world to adopt a united stance in this regard.
The protesters also criticized the inaction of international human rights organizations on the issue of Myanmar.
The UN says decades of discrimination have left the Rohingyas stateless, with Myanmar implementing restrictions on their movement and withholding land rights, education and public services.

BURMA’S ROHINGYA ORIGIN IN THE ANCIENT KINGDOM OF ARAKAN: UNDERSTANDING THE ARAB – CHANDRA SYNTHESIS

Posted on July 29, 2012

 

(A WORKING PAPER ON ARAKAN HISTORY)
Abid Bahar
Abstract (Several issues has come to the surface from the present research on DHANNAWADI and VASALI period of ancient Arakan;
(1) That DHANNAWADI and VASALI were Indian dynasties with Hindu and Mohayana Buddhist religious followers
(2) During the Chandra rule there had been some Arab settlements in Arakan. The language of the Chandras was proto-Chittagonian: Sanskrit, Pali, and Arabic mixed similar to what Buchanon Hamilton found in 1799 with Rohingyas in Burma, also that a similar language was spoken by the Chakmas and Thanchangras of Arakan and Bangladesh, its written form similar to Bengali found in the Ananda Chandra script
(3) Beginning from 957 A.D. there had been a huge migration of Tibeto-Burman Theraveda Buddhist population into the plains of Arakan, by defeating the Chandras they took possession of Arakan and the Indian look alike people retreated either toward the Northern part of Arakan or went back to Bengal, making the event its first Indian exodus of Arakaniese people to Bengal.
(4) In our contemporary period there has been a conscious effort among Arakan’s Rakhine crudader like historians to deny and cleanse from history, not only the traces of Indian Hindu or Mohayana civilization but also the traces of Muslim population and their Arab-Chandra synthesis of the Chandras predating the Tibeto Burman Theraveda Buddhist existence. )
———————————-
The Rohingyas people of Arakan are mostly Muslims with a small Hindu population among them. They are racially Indo- Semitic. They are not an ethnic group developed from one tribal group affiliation or single racial stock. Tides of people like the the Brahmins from India, Arabs, Moghuls, Bengalis, Turks and people from Central Asia, came mostly as traders, worriors and prechers overland or through the sea route to Arakan. Many settled in Arakan, during the Indian Chandra period, mixing with the local people formed the first neclus of the Rohingya people in Arakan. Historically speaking, in their common suffering in Burma, they found an identity now known to the world as the Rohingyas of Arakan. (1) Part one of this series of articles on Rohingya history is about the first Arab Chandra synthesis; covering from 3rd century CE. to 1406 A.D in chronological order.
3rd Century (CE): “By the 3rd century (CE), the coastal region of Kala Mukh (Arakan) had been settled with the colonists dominating and coexisting warily with the indigenous people. In the sites of major habitation Sanskrit became the written language of the ruling class, and the religious beliefs were those prevalent at that time in south-Asia (or Indian sub-continent). “(2)

Mass arrest going continuous in Maungdaw

28 july 2012

In Maungdaw Township, the arrest of Rohingya Muslims is going on by Hluntin (riot police) and police personnel everyday while they are passing days and nights in their houses as Internal Displace Persons (IDPs) without getting any foodstuffs from any quarter. They are not allowed to go out from their villages to buy any food items from the markets; even Rakhine villagers do not sell rice to the Rohingya villagers. As a result, most of the villagers are starving and children and old people are dying every day, according to an elder from Maungdaw.

“A group of police personnel accompanied by Hluntin (riot police) went to the Ward No.5 of Maungdaw Town and arrested— UlLa Meah (62), the ex-village chairman, son of custom Mohamed Amin, Mohamed Eliyas (50), son of Bodi Uzaman and Sayed Alam (31), son of Lukman Hakim from their home while raided the village.A youth aged (22) was also arrested but released later before leaving a village.”

“The police made a list of villagers or town dwellers to be arrested in next time in every village and Quarter, at least 30 to 40 people are included in the list. The police occasionally went to the villages to arrest the villagers; this is another tactics to arrest and to give harassment to the Rohingya villagers.”

Source: UN human rights leader calls for ‘independent’ Rakhine State investigation
The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights on Friday called for a “prompt, independent” investigation into ongoing human rights violations in Burma’s Arakan (Rakhine) State after ongoing violence between the Buddhist and Muslim communities.

We have been receiving a stream of reports from independent sources alleging discriminatory and arbitrary responses by security forces, and even their instigation of and involvement in clashes,” said Commissioner Navi Pillay said.
“Reports indicate that the initial swift response of the authorities to the communal violence may have turned into a crackdown targeting Muslims, in particular members of the Rohingya community.”
Meanwhile, Tomas Quintana, the UN expert on human rights in Burma, will visit the country for four days starting on Tuesday, at the invitation of the government.
Quintana will visit Arakan State for one day said the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) in a statement on Friday. Quintana will report his findings to the UN Human Rights Council, OHCHR said.

It has over 50 houses and the children and old people were facing very difficulties while the armies forcibly vacated them from their houses due to heavy rain, according to villagers.

Myanmar Muslims suffering amid media blackout

TEHRAN, July 25 (MNA) -- The suppression of the Rohingya Muslims in the Arakan region dates back to the World War II. On March 28, 1942, about 5,000 Rohingya Muslims were brutally massacred by the Rakhine nationalists in the Minbya and Mrohaung townships.

After that, the Muslims of the region were frequently subjected to harassment by the Burmese government which has so far refused to grant them official citizenship. According to the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, this lack of full citizenship means that the Rohingyas should tolerate other abuses, including “restrictions on their freedom of movement, discriminatory limitations on access to education, and arbitrary confiscation of property." As the Muslims around the world cheerfully prepare for the holy month of Ramadan, the Rohingya Muslims of Myanmar are subject to the appalling atrocities of the extremist Buddhists, finding their life in danger. Branded by the United Nations as one of the most persecuted minorities of the world, Rohingyas are a group of Muslims living in the Rakhine State, located in west of Myanmar. With a population of 3 million, Rakhine state is bordered by the Bay of Bengal to the west and the majority of its residents are Theravada Buddhists and Hindus. It's said that as a result of dire living conditions and discriminatory treatment by the government, some 300,000 Rohingyas have so far immigrated to Bangladesh and 24,000 of them escaped to Malaysia in search of a better life.

Britain should withdraw invitation for Thein Sein to visit: BCUK

The sectarian violence in Arakan State in Burma is growing into a humanitarian and human rights crisis, which has not received the international attention it deserves, Burma Campain UK (BCUK) said in a statement on Tuesday.

The current crisis has evolved into a Burmese government-led repression against the Rohingya population, it said.

In the past weeks, BCUK said it has received reports saying that Burmese police, security forces and soldiers have raped, looted, tortured and arbitrarily killed Rohingya residents.
There have been reports of camps without sufficient food or medical services, it said.
“Unknown thousands of people fled to Bangladesh, where they are getting no aid or protection, while thousands more are turned back by the government of Bangladesh, literally at gunpoint, in violation of international law,” said the statement.
Local authorities have refused to allow many Rohingya to return to some villages, shops and homes in a policy that appears designed to “cleanse” these areas of Rohingya people, said BCUK.

Burma: Planned Religious And Racial Riots Against Muslims: A Historical Overview

Islam, mainly of the Sunni sect, is practiced by 4% of the population of Burma according to the government census. However, according to the US State Departments 2006 International religious freedom report official statistics underestimate the non-Buddhist population which could be as high as 30%, the country’s non-Buddhist populations were underestimated in the census.
Muslim leaders estimate that as much as 20% of the population may be Muslims. Muslims are spread across the country in small communities. The last Mughal Emperor Bahadur Shah II and his family members and some followers were exiled to Yangon, Myanmar. He died during his imprisonment in Yangon and was buried on 7.11.1862. After the British took over Burma all sub groups of Burmese-Muslims formed numerous organizations, active in social welfare and religious affairs. The Indian-descended Muslims live mainly in Rangoon. The Rohingya are a minority Muslim ethnic group in Northern Rakhine State, Western Burma.

London-based think tank urges protection for Rohingyas

Ansar Ahmed Ullah, London
London-based anti-extremist think tank, Quilliam, has called for urgent action by the international community to end violence and discrimination against the Rohingya and other ethnic and religious minorities in Myanmar.

In a statement issued yesterday, it said the current communal violence and ongoing state-sponsored systematic discrimination against the Rohingya minority in Burma required a strong response by the international community and by democracy and human rights activists worldwide.

For decades, the Rohingya, a Muslim ethnic group primarily based in Arakan State and one of the world's most persecuted minorities, have faced severe restrictions, harassment and intimidation. Rohingya activists have been routinely subjected to arbitrary arrest, torture, and even extrajudicial killings perpetrated by the security forces and Rakhine Buddhists.

The Rohingya have effectively been declared stateless in violation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the 1982 Citizenship Act, which removed their citizenship granted in 1948, even if they have lived in Myanmar for generations.

Since a state of emergency was declared in June 2012, targeted attacks by the security forces against the Rohingya have increased and anti-Muslim communal violence has continued unchecked.

Indonesian House Speaker Marzuki Alie (FOTO ANTARA

Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Indonesian House Speaker Marzuki Alie condemned the killings of Muslim Rohingya ethnic group members in Myanmar and urged countries to take a stance against that country`s military junta responsible for the incident.

"The systemic killings of the Rohingya by Myanmar`s military junta is a very concerning humanitarian tragedy that can be categorized as a serious human rights violation and a crime against humanity and specifically leads to a genocide," Marzuki Alie said.   a press conference here on Tuesday.

In view of that he said Indonesia as a country that honors human rights and an ASEAN chairman must be pro-active and give a strong reprimand to Myanmar and urge that country to respect human rights and settle the conflict by giving the Rohingya right to live and citizenship like that for other ethnic groups.

"The UN must also be active in responding to the Rohingya case in humanitarian as well as political terms. With regard to humanitarian problems anticipation must be made to deal with refugee problem," he said.

He said the UN must urge Myanmar to respect human rights as killings or ousting of the Rohingya from country is uncivilized.

UK Must Act on Arakan and Rohingya Crisis

24 Jul 2012

Burma Campaign UK today called on British Foreign Secretary William Hague to end his silence on the current crisis in Burma and step up British diplomatic efforts to end the crisis. The current crisis has evolved into Burmese government led repression against the Rohingya.

Following communal violence in June, in which many Arakan and Rohingya people were displaced, there is a growing humanitarian and human rights crisis which is not receiving sufficient international attention, and it is highly likely that many lives are being lost as a result.

In the past few weeks, Burma Campaign UK has received the following reports:

· Burmese police, security forces and soldiers are raping, looting, torturing and arbitrarily killing Rohingya people.

· There have been mass arrests with Rohingya people kept in detention camps without trial, without food or medical services.

Friday 20 July 2012

The 57-member Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has launched a major international campaign to put an end to the ethnic cleansing of the Rohingya Muslim minority in the Arakan state of Myanmar and protect their legitimate rights.
OIC offices in Geneva, New York, and Brussels are making intense efforts to foster international intervention in the issue. The OIC is in touch with the United Nations, UN Human Rights Council, European Union and other international organizations to halt the humanitarian crisis in Myanmar.

Myanmar: Abuses against Rohingya erode human rights progress

Six weeks after a state of emergency was declared in Myanmar’s Rakhine State, targeted attacks and other violations by security forces against minority Rohingyas and other Muslims have increased, Amnesty International said today.

Communal violence in the state has also continued, the organization said.

“Declaring a state of emergency is not a license to commit human rights violations,” said Benjamin Zawacki, Amnesty International’s Myanmar Researcher.

“It is the duty of security forces to defend the rights of everyone – without exception or discrimination – from abuses by others, while abiding by human rights standards themselves.”

Burmese Muslims targeted in communal violence, says Amnesty

Communal violence is continuing in western Burma six weeks after the government declared a state of emergency, with much of it directed at minority Muslim Rohingyas who have been beaten, raped and killed, Amnesty International has claimed.

The rights group accused both security forces and ethnic Rakhine Buddhists of carrying out fresh attacks against Rohingyas, who are regarded as foreigners by the ethnic majority and denied citizenship by the government because it considers them illegal settlers from neighbouring Bangladesh.

After a series of isolated killings starting in late May, bloody skirmishes spread quickly across much of Burma's coastal Rakhine state.

Myanmar: Rohingya community under attack

20 July 2012

Attacks by security forces in Myanmar against minority Rohingya and other Muslims have increased in Rakhine State, where a state of emergency was declared six weeks ago.

“Declaring a state of emergency is not a license to commit human rights violations,” said Benjamin Zawacki, Amnesty International’s Myanmar Researcher.

“It is the duty of security forces to defend the rights of everyone – without exception or discrimination – from abuses by others, while abiding by human rights standards themselves.”

The Myanmar government declared a state of emergency in Rakhine State on 10 June, following an outbreak of communal violence the previous week among the Buddhist Rakhine, Muslim Rakhine, and Muslim Rohingya communities. It remains in effect in several areas.

Amnesty Int'l: Myanmar's Rohingyas being targeted

BANGKOK (AP) - Communal violence is grinding on in western Myanmar six weeks after the government declared a state of emergency there, and Muslim Rohingyas are increasingly being hit with targeted attacks that have included killings, rape and physical abuse, Amnesty International said Friday.

A government spokesman for coastal Rakhine state, which was engulfed by a wave of bloody unrest in June, called the allegations groundless and biased. Amnesty's claims are "totally opposite of what is happening on the ground," spokesman Win Myaing said, adding that the region was calm.

Amnesty accused both security forces and ethnic Rakhine Buddhists living in the region of carrying out fresh attacks against Rohingyas, who are seen as foreigners by the ethnic majority and denied citizenship by the government because it considers them illegal settlers from neighboring Bangladesh.

Genocide Emergency: Western Myanmar, Rakhine State: The Rohingya

Source from Genocide Watch

The Rohingya are a Muslim ethnic minority living in northern Rakhine state in Western Myanmar. They face religious and ethnic discrimination by Myanmar's military regime, which refuses to recognize the Rohingya as Myanmar citizens. The Rohingya people are not considered one of 135 legally recognized ethnic minority groups in Myanmar. Myanmar considers them illegal immigrants from Bangladesh, but they have lived in Myanmar for centuries, and Bangladesh will not accept them as its citizens.

The first Rohingya people arrived in Myanmar as early as the seventh century, but the Myanmar military regime maintains, to this day, that the Rohingya immigrated to Myanmar from India while under British colonial rule. This disregard for earlier settlers prohibits the Rohingya from being legally recognized as a minority group in Myanmar.

The Rohingya have permanently settled in Western Myanmar and make up 1/3 of the population of the Rakhine State. There are close to 750,000 Rohingyas in Rakhine State.
Because of the Myanmar military regime's denial of legal recognition, the Rohingya are denied fundamental human rights and freedom, and the military regime consistently perpetrates human rights violations against this vulnerable population.

• The regime refuses to issue identification cards to Rohingya, which are necessary to be able to travel, as well as to obtain passports and enroll in higher education.
• They are denied land and property rights and ownership. The land on which they live can be taken away at any time.
• The Rohingya people are barred from government employment.
• Marriage restrictions are imposed on them. They are limited to two children per couple.

Updated news of Rathedaung Township on July 19, 2012

Yesterday, army went to the Rajabill (Auknanra) village of Rathedaung Township and chased the villagers to arrest but all the villagers ran away. At last, the army arrested one villager named Abul Shama (45) and his wife. His wife is from Rakhine community and he married her since 20 years ago. The army also arrested the wife of Abul Shama and both of them were severely tortured by the army. After marriage, they gave birth four children. His wife was sent to her parents’ house. However, Abul Shama was released after paying Kyat 150,000. It is not known to the villagers, why the army chased the villagers.

Today, Rohingya villagers are not allowed to go to Zaydi Pyin ( Kyaung Taung ) market of Rathedaung Township for marketing. If the villagers are met on the way to the market, the army and the Rakhine youths beat them.

Besides, at noon, the Rakhine community held a meeting in the Buddhist monastery of Zaydi Pyin regarding the Rohingya community. Though the result of the meeting is not known to the Rohingya villagers, the Rohingya villagers believe that the Rakhine villagers will attack the big mosque of Zaydi Pyin which is established since long ago. So, the Rohingya villagers become fear and sad. However, the army made blank fires to the air since 1:00 pm. It maybe threatening to the Rohingya villagers by army.

In Rathedaung Township, Rohingya villagers are not allowed to go out from their villages and are dying everyday because of starvation , shortage of medicine. Most of the villagers are living in open sky as their homes were burned down.

Machete Massacre in Arakan: The Hidden Face of Burma Exposed

Abid Bahar

From the military leadership down to NASAKA, the Rakhine police, in the civilian front RNDP and even some leaders closely working with Aung San Suu Kui, the problem with the Rohingya people have been seen as a case of dealing with”illegal immigration” of Bengali people to Arakan. Fortunately, contemporary research on Rakhine-Rohingya relations shows it is not about illegals in Arakan, Burma, it is about intolerance to a people, who are racially, culturally and religiously different from the mainstream racially mongoloid Rakhine-Burmese people.

Unfortunate though, even Burma’s new military backed government, the wolf in ship’s skin continues to call Rohingyas as the noncitizens of Burma. It has been done in compliance with the 1982 Ne Win’s Constitution Act that denied Rohingya Citizenship. Following this definition to the government, Burma is not actually doing anything wrong, it is only fighting against “intruders” into Burma who according to the authority came to Burma after 1824.

Fortunately, history proves over and again that Rohingyas didn’t migrate to Arakan from Bengal, they were already there as the indigenous people and others settled by the sea.
(Link: http://drhabibsiddiqui.blogspot.ca/2011/10/analysis-of-muslim-identity-and.html).
Contrary to the xenophobic understanding that Rohingyas are intruders into Burma, we see, successive Burmese invasions of Arakan led to the settlements of nonBengali people in Chittagong and Chittagong Hill Tracts of present Bangladesh.

Religious cleansing: crime against humanity

19 july 2012
Ismail Salami

Described as the Palestine of Asia by the UN, the Rohingya Muslim community in Myanmar is currently going through an unutterable ordeal at the hands of the Rakhine extremist Buddhists in Arakan who are targeting the Muslim minority with the worst form of religious cleansing.
Ethnic cleansing is rife in Myanmar and is turning into a human tragedy of colossal proportions. A confidential United Nations report dated May 29, 2011 and marked “Not for Public Citation or Distribution”, defines ethnic cleansing as a “purposeful policy designed by one ethnic or religious group to remove by violent and terror-inspiring means the civilian population of another ethnic or religious group from certain geographic areas.”

What is happening in Myanmar to the Rohingya Muslims violates international laws and is to be categorised as crime against humanity. Unfortunately, the Myanmar peace prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi has turned a blind eye and a deaf ear to the plight of the Rohingya Muslims. Maybe she has forgotten her own words on democracy and human rights that, “The struggle for democracy and human rights in Burma is a struggle for life and dignity.”
Reportedly, the settlement of the Rohingya Muslims in this region dates back to the eighth century. However, in the seventies, the junta embarked on a systematic programme of religious cleansing of the Rohingya Muslims who are denied their basic rights, i.e. the right to freedom of movement, marriage, faith, identity, ownership, language, heritage and culture, citizenship, education etc. Deplorable as it is, the Muslims in Myanmar are among the most persecuted minorities in the world according to UN.

No security for Rohingyas under so-called emergency Act 144 in Maungdaw

Maungdaw, Arakan State: The Maungdaw Township administration office called all the villages’ admin officers today and ordered to collect all religious students list from every village, according to a village administration officer from Maungdaw.

“The office ordered to collect religious students list and may be the office will call again to give them students list or young Rohingya lists. After collecting the lists, may be the authorities start to arrest the students which are the main power of Rohingyas’ next generation.”

 

The police officers –Thein Tin and Aye Htun Sein – are being harassed Rohingya businessmen who came to open their shops as per the ordered of Maungdaw Township Administration office. But, the Rohingya businessmen are not getting any protection from the authority; also they were picked up by police nearby clock tower junction when returning to their villages. The police officers kept the Rohingya businessmen at the electric power station compound to extort money from them, said a businessmen from Maungdaw.

“The Rakhines are also harassing the Rohingya businessmen while they open their shops and loot anything which they had taken for their home. They can’t able to go and back freely from their home and shop.”

 

 

Iran urges intl. organizations to investigate killings in Myanmar

TEHRAN - Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast on Monday called on the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and other international organizations to investigate the massacre of Muslims in Myanmar.    “Respecting followers of religions and preparing the ground in such a way that religious and ethnic minorities would be able to use their civil rights is an accepted principle in all schools of thought, and it is expected that the government of Myanmar will pave the way for national unity and cohesion and (the upholding of) Muslims’ rights in the country and help prevent any use of force and humanitarian disaster,” Mehmanparast stated.

Rohingya Plight Highlighted in London

A picture from the book, “Exiled to Nowhere: Burma’s Rohingya” (PHOTO: Greg Constantine)

The London School of Economics (LSE) hosted a panel discussion on Monday evening to debate the crisis in western Arakan State and to express support for the Rohingya community.
Many members of the Burmese community crowded into the packed theater alongside London-based activists and members of NGOs. On the panel were Chris Lewa, the director of the Arakan Project and a leading voice on behalf of the Rohingya, and US photographer Greg Constantine who recently released a book of black and white photography titled

Stop the killing of Rohingyas

It was the founding fathers of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia who were so sympathetic and humane as to give asylum to hundreds of thousands of members of the persecuted Burmese community. Many of the descendants of these refugees are still living in the Western Region of the Kingdom in the area between Makkah and Jeddah.

They are the Rohingyas, the Palestinians of Asia. The Rohingyas have lived in Burma since the 8th century, yet in 1962, the Burmese junta began a program of ethnic cleansing in an attempt to force them to leave the country.

In the past few months, the nearly one million Rohingyas in Burma’s Arakan state have been under siege by the local Rakhine community.

The UN has said: “The government has denied birth certificates and citizenship to the Rohingyas. Today, the community is in a perilous situation as they are being targeted because they are not of the same race and religion as the Rakhine Buddhist majority.”
The Buddhists are targeting the Rohingyas as a part of state-sponsored ethnic cleansing.

Update crisis of Arakan

It has been over 40 days now, the military government is openly escalating more brutal crimes. Rohingyans have been confined with constant abuses and without food. Some Rohingya those attempted to escape by boats through the sea were fired by launchers by navy forces and those captured in inland-waters were defined as illegal enterers and punished to unknown.
Schools have been opened from last week and all Rakhine children are attending while Rohingya are disposed to languish in uncertainty.
The government and Rakaine state minster who is also Rakhine people party-RNDP’s president and high-ranking authorities are openly stopping any kind of food supply or finding foods by Rohingya themselves.
However, the demon military government that repeatedly committing crimes has been receiving more kind and diplomatic approaches. It is the time therefore no Rohingya could be survived. Soon, they all will be exterminated within the scope of government’s pogrom.

US Muslims plea for end to Rohingyas plight

“ISNA rejects these ongoing oppressive policies and is deeply sorrowed by the recent killing of innocent Rohingya Muslims,” the Islamic Society of North America said.

“We stand firmly against the usage of ethnic and religious differences to perpetrate the persecution of minority communities, regardless of country, religion, or circumstance.

“The government of Myanmar's current course of action is unacceptable, and the Rohingya people must be afforded basic human rights.”

Described by the UN as one of the world's most persecuted minorities, Myanmar’s ethnic-Bengali Muslims, generally known as the Rohingyas, are facing a catalogue of discrimination in their homeland.

Statement by civil society organisations deeply concerned by violence against stateless Rohingya

Civil Society Organisations Deeply Concerned by On-going Violence against Stateless Rohingya in Myanmar and their Refoulement from Bangladesh

The stateless Rohingya of Myanmar have suffered from extreme persecution and discrimination for decades. They are now facing another crisis. On 3 June inter-communal violence erupted, and this has evolved into large-scale state sponsored violence against the Rohingya. Despite this, neighbouring Bangladesh is not allowing them to enter to seek refuge. The Rohingya population needs urgent measures to be taken for their protection.

In Myanmar, what began as inter-communal violence has evolved into large-scale state sponsored violence against the Rohingya. The violence began on 3 June 2012 and has mainly occurred in Sittwe and Maungdaw. On 10 June, a state of military emergency was declared, after which the military became more actively involved in committing acts of violence and other human rights abuses against the Rohingya including killings and mass scale arrests of Rohingya men and boys in North Rakhine State. Many Rohingya continue to be victims of violence and cannot leave their homes for fear of persecution, and are thus deprived of their livelihood and most basic needs. The urgent humanitarian needs of those displaced (IDPs) - including those not in IDP camps - are not being adequately met and there is concern that those displaced will not be allowed to return to their homes as soon as it is safe to do so, thus creating a situation of protracted displacement.

Rohingya Muslims face starvation

AID groups have warned of an impending humanitarian catastrophe in western Myanmar as authorities attempt to isolate tens of thousands of the displaced ethnic Rohingya minority in camps described by one aid worker as “open air prisons”.

Aid has struggled to reach those affected by sectarian unrest in early June. The UN announced on Friday that 10 aid workers in Arakan state had been arrested, five were UN staff. Some have been charged, although the details remain unclear.
Rates of malnutrition among the Muslim Rohingya, who have borne the brunt of emergency measures implemented in the wake of fierce rioting in June between the minority group and the majority Arakanese, are said to be “alarming”. Most aid workers have either been evacuated or forced to flee in recent weeks.

“We are worried that malnutrition rates already have and will continue to rise dramatically; if free and direct humanitarian access accompanied by guaranteed security is not granted with the shortest delay, there’s no way they won’t rise,” said Tarik Kadir of Action Against Hunger.

ISNA Calls for Human Rights for Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar

(Washington, DC - July 12, 2012) The Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) expresses its profound concern about the current violence against members of the Rohingya Muslim community, which have long experienced great hardship and oppression in their home country of Myanmar. In addition, Rohingya Muslims require government permission to marry, are forbidden from having more than two children per family, and are subjected to modern-day slavery through forced labor. Because the national government denies them the right to citizenship in their homeland, many Rohingyas have their land confiscated and they are restricted from travel.

ISNA rejects these ongoing oppressive policies and is deeply sorrowed by the recent killing of innocent Rohingya Muslims. We stand firmly against the usage of ethnic and religious differences to perpetrate the persecution of minority communities, regardless of country, religion, or circumstance. The government of Myanmar's current course of action is unacceptable, and the Rohingya people must be afforded basic human rights.

The OIC expresses grave concern over the situation of Myanmar Rohingya Muslims

 

Monday, July 16, 2012

 

The Secretary General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, in a statement issued in Jeddah today, strongly condemned the renewed repression and violation of human rights of Myanmar’s Rohingya Muslim nationals since last June 2012 that has resulted in deaths of innocent civilians, burning of their homes and mosques and forcing them to leave their homeland. He added that over the past three decades, the Myanmar’s Rohingya Muslim citizens have been subjected to gross violation of human rights including ethnic cleansing, killings, rape, and forced displacement by Myanmar security forces.

Ihsanoglu said that the recent restoration of democracy in Myanmar had raised hopes in the international community that oppression against Rohingya Muslims citizens would end and that they would be able to enjoy equal rights and opportunities. However, the renewed violence against Rohingya Muslims on June 3, 2012 had caused great alarm and concern to the OIC. He said that when efforts of the international community including the United Nations were underway for a peaceful resolution of the issue, the OIC was shocked by the unfortunate remarks of Myanmar President Thien Sein disowning Rohingya Muslims as citizens of Myanmar. Secretary General stressed that the Myanmar Government as a member of the United Nations and the ASEAN, must adhere to the international human rights instruments including the relevant conventions and declarations, in treatment of their citizens.

UN refugee chief sees a silver lining on clouds over Myanmar

Jim Pollard
The Nation July 16, 2012 1:00 am

Guterres, UNHCR chief

A storm of criticism has flared again over Myanmar's treatment of ethnic Rohingya - and its request to the United Nations refugee agency last week to resettle more than half a million of them to countries overseas.

But Antonio Guterres, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) - who told Myanmar's President Thein Sein it was not possible to deport the Rohingya - tried to play down the affair in an exclusive interview in Bangkok on Friday.

Guterres agreed that the Rohingya - Muslims of Bangladeshi ethnic origin at the centre of repeated crises in western Rakhine State - have endured "dramatic discrimination" and that their plight "deserves a message of humanity from the international community".

Saturday, July 14,

Myanmar’s President Thein Sein says Rohingya Muslims must be expelled from the country and sent to refugee camps run by the United Nations.




The former junta general said on Thursday that the "only solution" was to send nearly a million Rohingya Muslims - one of the world's most persecuted minorities -- to refugee camps run by United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).

The UN says decades of discrimination have left the Rohingyas stateless, with Myanmar implementing restrictions on their movement and withholding land rights, education and public services.

Burma: Apartheid Against Rohingyas In Arakan A Concern

 

Thursday, 12 July 2012
Article: Asian Human Rights Commission

A Statement from Human Rights Groups forwarded by the Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC)
Burma: Apartheid Against Rohingyas In Arakan Should Be A Concern Of International Community

RNDP chairman(Dr, Aye Maung)

The undersigned organisations have strongly condemned the Rakhine National Development Party (RNDP) for revitalizing ‘apartheid’ in Burma against the Muslim Rohingyas of Arakan.
In its statement dated 26 June 2012, the RNDP has dubbed the entire ethnic Rohingyas‘illegal Bengali intruders’ and urged the people and Government of Burma, inter alia, “to segregate Rohingyas from the Buddhist Rakhines in every town and village of Arakan by relocating them in separate areas away from Buddhist Rakhines’ localities”. It has further demanded“to resettle the non-national illegal Bengalis in third countries within a fixed short period of time through negotiation with the United Nations and international cooperation.”
