The on-going violence against the Rohingya people is part of a very sinister and calculated national project towards ethnically cleansing through the state sponsored pogrom that has already resulted in the estimated deaths of tens of thousands of Rohingya Muslims. Nearly a hundred thousand Rohingyas are internally displaced, who are also denied access to food and shelter.
The Myanmar government and the Rakhine state administration are guilty of practicing an apartheid policy towards the Rohingya people. They are also guilty of committing crimes against humanity.
The 1982 Citizenship Law of Burma, which has effectively declared the Rohingya as “stateless”, is inconsistent with the United Nations and international laws recognizing inherent dignity, equality and inalienable rights of ALL members of the human family.
The recent genocidal campaigns against Rohingyas have been documented by international human rights organizations, such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch.
Aung San Suu Kyi’s continued silence on the plight of Burma’s Rohingya Muslims is sparking concern that the Nobel Peace Prize winner is failing to live up to her stature as one of the world’s most celebrated prodemocracy campaigners.
Throughout her two decades in jail and under house arrest, Ms Suu Kyi earned herself worldwide adoration for her refusal to bend to Burma’s military junta and her steadfast criticism of all human rights abuses inside her country.
Ask Ms. Suu Kyi to save Rohingyas in Burma. Burmese Authorities are killing Rohingya because of their dark skin color and because of their religion.
Ask Ms. Suu Kyi to speak up against the color coded citizenship scheme which military used to revoke the citizenship of Rohingyas in their own ancestral land.
Ask the Burmese Democracy Leader to Support Equal Rights for Rohingya.
