The organization Peace Without Borders has accused the Myanmar government of continuing to persecute the Rohingya Muslim minority.
The United Nations describes the Rohingya minority in Myanmar as the most persecuted minority in the world, and observers and human rights activists describe the Rohingya people as the most disadvantaged people in the world, least privileged and most unwelcome people in the world.
“The Rohingya were the majority in Arakan province, but because of the policy of abuse, restriction and deprivation of rights by the Myanmar military and authorities in the past and present, their villages are almost empty; many of them have drowned while crossing the waterways, to live in squalid camps and in the open in various countries, and you know that 80% of the Rohingyas have become refugees outside their homeland, and they invoke human dignity with humiliation. “
“Many are not only subjected to torture, cruel treatment, excessive punishment, arbitrary detention, extrajudicial killings and gang rapes of women.
You have all seen Human Rights Watch photos taken by satellite showing villages and areas that were completely burned by the Myanmar authorities for forced displacement “the organization said.
He pointed out that children and women are the two most vulnerable groups of racial discrimination against Rohingya. “You have seen and heard hundreds of testimonies about mass rape and murder of Children in front of their mothers and brothers, where are the rights of Rohingya women and children in this world?“
“The Rohingyas are the only people in the twenty-first century among the nations of the Earth who do not have the citizenship of any country in the world. You can imagine a people who can not travel to any country for education or treatment. Anyone who wants to move from the Rohingyas to secure their lives is in danger. They must take illegal routes, such as smuggling or being subjected to trafficking gangs, so they can move because they do not carry any travel documents.
“The 1949 Geneva Convention provides the protection of civilians in conflict situations, and the people of the Rohingya have not received any civil protection as you know, and the state of law and security have not been maintained in all the crisis in which the Rohingya has been subjected. Beyond the borders despite serious risks.
Today, Bangladesh is seeking to repatriate the Rohingyas to Myanmar, in the absence of minimum guarantees to safeguard their rights. You know that the repatriation of the Rohingyas as refugees in camps now being built is in conflict with international conventions such as the Geneva Convention and the Human Rights Charter, Especially since they are still without nationality, which qualifies them to live as citizens with all civil rights. “
