PERSECUTION OF THE ROHINGYAS – PLIGHT OF THE REFUGEES<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Rohingya minority is one of the most persecuted minorities in the world.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Myanmar\u2019s treatment of the Rohingya community is an unmistakable and serious breach of international Human Rights Laws.<\/strong> Successive Burmese military governments have since early 1970s viewed the Rohingya Muslim minority, who live on their ancestral borderlands between the Islamic country of Bangladesh and Buddhist Myanmar, as\u00a0\u201ca threat to Myanmar\u2019s national security and local Buddhist culture\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Rohingya persecution by the Myanmar military<\/strong>\u00a0began in 1978 under the pretext of a crackdown on the illegal Bengali immigration into Western Myanmar from the then newly independent Bangladesh. The military used the Rohingya as a proxy population against the extremely nationalistic and anti-Myanmar Rakhine people, who resent Myanmar rule as a colonial occupation of their once sovereign nation.<\/p>\n

The United Nations has repeatedly referred\u00a0to human rights violations in the region,<\/strong>\u00a0but the government of State Councilor Aung San Suu Kyi systematically refutes these reports.<\/p>\n

On the ground, the soldiers and policemen, who are deployed in western Burma, obey the army chief, not the Aung San Suu Kyi government.<\/p>\n
