Myanmar Urged to STOP Rohingya "Genocide"

Malaysian Prime Minister Dato' Sri Haji Mohammad Najib bin Tun Haji Abdul Razak has described the violence against Myanmar's Rohingya Muslim minority as genocide. 

Dato' Sri Haji Mohammad Najib bin Tun Haji Abdul Razak was addressing a rally in solidarity with Myanmar’s persecuted Muslim community at a stadium in Kuala Lumpur. In a strongly-worded message, the Malaysian premier called on Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi and her government to stop anti-Muslim violence. Dato' Sri Haji Mohammad Najib bin Tun Haji Abdul Razak also vowed to fight for the rights of the Rohingya saying the world cannot stand by and watch genocide taking place. The plight of Rohingya in predominantly-Buddhist Myanmar has angered Muslims across the region and beyond. The Rohingya community has suffered extensive discrimination despite living in Myanmar for centuries. Over a hundred Muslims have been killed and thousands displaced in the latest state-sponsored crackdown that was launched in October.

Abuse of Rohingyas in Myanmar may be Crime Against Humanity: UN

The United Nations (UN) has warned that ongoing, widespread human rights violations against Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar could be tantamount to “crimes against humanity.”
In a statement on Tuesday, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) expressed alarm over reports of serious rights violations in Myanmar’s western Rakhine State.
The UN body said that the Myanmarese government “has largely failed to act on the recommendations” made in a June report that “raised the possibility that the pattern of violations against the Rohingya may amount to crimes against humanity.”
The report documented a wide range of human rights violations and abuses against the Rohingya, including arbitrary deprivation of nationality, severe restrictions on freedom of movement, threats to life and security, denial of rights to health and education, forced labor and sexual violence.
The UN rights office further called on the Myanmarese government to respect international humanitarian law and the rights of internally displaced persons, warning that continued failure to do so would draw a sharp response from the international community.

The military has launched a crackdown on the Rohingyas in Rakhine, where they are concentrated, since an attack on the country’s border guards on October 9 left nine police officers dead. The government blamed the Rohingyas for the assault.
There have been numerous accounts by eyewitnesses of summary executions, rapes and arson attacks against the Rohingyas by security forces.
The military has blocked access to Rakhine and banned journalists and aid workers from entering the zone.
At least 30,000 Rohingya have been internally displaced in Rakhine, while thousands of others have tried to reach Bangladesh over the last month to seek refuge amongst the Rohingya refugee population that already lives there.
Bangladesh has also started to crack down on the incoming refugees by either preventing them at border transit points or confining them to refugee camps.
Rakhine, home to around 1.1 million members of the minority Rohingya Muslim community, has been the scene of violence against the ethnic Muslims since 2012.
Myanmar’s de facto leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, who has been hailed by some as a “democracy icon” and has been awarded the Nobel peace prize, has remained largely silent on the plight of the refugees.

World must stand up in support of Rohingya Muslims: Activist

Iran has condemned Myanmar’s government for the persecution of Rohingya Muslims in the Southeast Asian country, slamming all types of discrimination against minorities anywhere in the world. The Rohingya community, which Myanmar’s government brands as “illegal immigrants” from Bangladesh, has been suffering widely-reported systematic aggression for years on end. The violence has been interpreted as an attempt to force them out of the country’s demographic configuration.

Massoud Shadjareh, a member of the Islamic Human Rights Commission in London, believes the suffering of the Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar is now coming to such a state that it has been identified by almost everyone an “all-out ethnic cleansing”.

“Undoubtedly it is a fact that Myanmar Muslims are actually the most persecuted group and that has been identified by the United Nations and indeed their plight has been almost forgotten by the rest of the nation states and indeed the West,” the activist told Press TV.

He also praised Iran for taking such a stand, adding that it is really important that nations stand up in support of the Rohingya Muslims.

However, he said, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and the Western countries have failed to take a stand against Myanmar.

The activist further noted Myanmar’s leader Aung San Suu Kyi is becoming “instrumental” in the process of ethnic cleansing of the Muslims in their own land.

Shadjareh further criticized the international community’s “deafening” silence on the frightening reports and evidence coming out of Myanmar.

“We are getting condemnation from all around the world when a bomb goes off in Paris or anywhere else in the European or Western hemisphere and here we are seeing systematic slaughtering, killing and raping and ethnic cleansing of fellow human beings and fellow Muslims and not a whisper coming out of the OIC and not a whisper coming out of the Western governments,” he said.

“This actually shows the politics of the West when it comes to Muslims and in reality we see this is actually also as a result of the level of Islamophobia and hatred which has been created against Muslims that their lives and their being, even the lives of their children, it seems to be not moving anyone and it is not important, whatsoever, when it comes to [the] international community,” he added.

According to the activist, it is up to the people to raise the plight of Rohingya Muslims and stand up for their justice and their well-being because the international community, the politicians and the governments seem to be “incapable” of doing anything.

Rights Group wants ASEAN Countries to Act on Rohingya Plight

Human Rights Watch (HRW) has urged countries from the Association of Southeast Asia Nations (ASEAN) to make strong efforts at an emergency meeting of the group to resolve the ongoing Rohingya crisis in Myanmar.

ASEAN’s upcoming meeting is scheduled for Monday in Myanmar’s Yangon.

Phil Robertson, the deputy director of the Asia Division at the HRW, said the international rights group as wells as other members of the global community is “hoping that this will be the beginning of an ongoing campaign by some of the ASEAN states to demand answers from Burma (Myanmar), and to expect better treatment of the Rohingya.”

Robertson emphasized that ASEAN nations have the necessary power to exert influence on Myanmar’s government in regard to the Rohingya crisis.

“ASEAN does have efficacy to be able to force Myanmar to answer questions,” he said.

Robertson said the solution to the crisis is to integrate the Muslims, who having been living in Myanmar for generations.

“Ultimately, these governments need to press Burma to allow the Rohingya to stay and to have citizenship and be accepted as full participants in the Burmese state. Otherwise, we’re going to continue to have these occasional pogroms against the Rohingyas,” he said, referring to the instances of murder against the ethnic Muslims in Myanmar’s northwestern Rakhine State.

International pressure has been mounting on the government of Aung San Suu Kyi, Myanmar’s de facto leader, over a military crackdown against the Rohingyas in Rakhine, where the Muslims are concentrated and have been besieged by army forces.

World bodies, including the United Nations (UN), have called on Suu Kyi to fulfill her responsibility in the crisis, visit the state, and take measures to protect the Rohingya Muslim minority there against ongoing atrocities at the hands of the military.

Suu Kyi has done little to address the issue. A task force that she ordered to investigate the situation in Rakhine came out saying that military soldiers there were acting according to law.

The ASEAN meeting

Myanmar called for the emergency meeting of ASEAN nations shortly after the UN said it was receiving daily reports of rapes and killings of members of the Rohingya community in the country.

The UN statement, which was released on Friday, criticized Suu Kyi for her “short-sighted, counterproductive, even callous” approach to the humanitarian crisis involving the Rohingya.

The UN has estimated that 27,000 members of the Rohingya community have been forced to flee the terror waged on them in the region by the military and extremist Buddhists and seek asylum in neighboring countries such as Bangladesh.

A much larger number of Rohingya “boat people” have attempted to flee to other neighboring countries, including Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia, which are all members of ASEAN.

People in both Malaysia and Indonesia have been protesting against the persecution of the Rohingya Muslims by the military in the Buddhist-dominant country.

Malaysia’s Prime Minister Najib Razak called for international intervention to resolve the crisis and put an end to the “genocide” of the Rohingyas in Myanmar.

The Monday ASEAN meeting will be held behind closed doors. It will be attended by the foreign ministers of ASEAN countries, including the Philippines, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Brunei, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, and Myanmar itself.

Ongoing atrocities

Rakhine State has been under military siege since October, when unidentified elements launched a deadly raid on a police post. The Myanmarese government blamed the attack on militants whom it said were linked to the Rohingya.

There have been numerous reports of rape, murder, and arson against the Muslim population in the state. But violence against the Rohingya precedes the current military siege.

Rakhine has been the scene of communal violence at the hands of Buddhist extremists since 2012. Hundreds of the Muslims have been killed in the violence. Myanmar’s population is mostly comprised of Buddhists.

The government denies full citizenship to the members of the Rohingya community in Myanmar despite their long-time presence in Rakhine.

The UN says the Rohingyas are one of the most persecuted communities in the world.

“We cannot travel to anywhere; there’s no education or healthcare, no jobs here. We are living here like prisoners. So, I have no more words to express our lives. We need as much help as possible,” said Maung Hla, a Muslim Rohingya who lives in apartheid-like conditions at a camp for internally displaced persons in Sittwe, the capital of Rakhine State.

Eight Women Raped in Nari Bil Amid Tensed Calm

Army personal raided Nari Bil in Maungdaw North on Friday and raped at least eight women.

More than 80 soldiers entered the village tract at around noon, apprehended eight women and proceeded to gang rape them.

They also smashed up property and looted valuables.

In a separate incident, Hlun Htein personal set fire to houses in Kawa Bil. The villagers were earlier forced out in late October for allegedly providing shelter to Muslim rebels.

In Maungdaw South, Hlun Htein forces demolished 12 houses in Kiladong on Saturday. The incident happens a week after security forces ordered the demolition of a mosque and houses on the roadside on December 12.

While Kiladong and other Maungdaw South villages have been spared the terror of the recent crackdown, it is a traditional hotspot for violence. In one of the worst incidents, scores of women and children were hacked to death when a Rakhine mob backed by security forces attacked the village tract in January 2014. Since then there has been tension in the area as security forces cracked down on the survivors.

Local sources have also said there has been a steady movement of Tatmadaw troops into Maungdaw South.

Altogether while there has been incidents of rape and arson attacks on Rohingya settlements, there is an eerie calm in the area. Rohingya activists however warn the situation might take a turn for the worse anytime.

Hundreds have been killed and arrested, while many women have been raped since Tatmadaw forces unleashed a draconian crackdown on Rohingyas since October 9. Many of those arrested have been tortured to death, with some having their eyes gouged out and wrists cut off

Syed Hamid Albar


Special envoy the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) for Myanmar, Tan Sri Syed Hamid Albar said the OIC strongly condemned Myanmar’s military oppression against Rohingya Muslims worsening in northern Rakhine state.

“Buddhism even prevent inhumane acts occurred. So, the world must stop immediately likened the events in Rwanda tragedy in Southeast Asia.

“United Nations (UN) and the ASEAN should take the necessary steps as stipulated in the provisions of the UN Charter that protects and respects the rights of all human beings,” he said in a statement on Facebook today.

Earlier, the watchdog group Human Rights successful attempt to disassemble the Myanmar government troops closed the atrocities committed against the Rohingya Muslims when burning over 1,000 settlements and 30,000 Rohingyas were left homeless and thousands were killed.

In the meantime, former Senior Diplomat Malaysia, Tan Sri Hasmy Agam, urged the government to become a member of the High Commission of United Nations for Refugees (UNHCR) and the signing of the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees.

He said this was because Malaysia is an active UN member states and is believed by many to hold office.

“We need to be an expert and be bound by the agreement to be more vocal in urging UNHCR assistance and security to the war-torn country.

“Our relationship with UNHCR now in an informal or like friends,” he said.

Hasmy also explained that Malaysia is still reluctant to ratify the agreement for fear bound by the principle to accept refugees and is likely to be an attraction to more refugees coming into Malaysia.

Meanwhile, President of the Human Rights Malaysia Myanmar Ethnic Rohingyas (MERHROM), Zafar Ahmad Abdul Ghani, asking Malaysia as a responsible ASEAN member countries.

“I call on the government to provide food aid, medical and security to the Rohingya there. In addition, the 192 UN member states have to adopt the law on refugees persecuted and intervene to resolve this issue.

“If the world can not intervene, we have supplied arms and let ourselves fighting with the military junta of Myanmar,” he said.

What are Human Rights?

    Human rights are rights inherent to all human beings, whatever our nationality, place of residence, sex, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, language, or any other status. We are all equally entitled to our human rights without discrimination. These rights are all interrelated, interdependent and indivisible.

    Universal human rights are often expressed and guaranteed by law, in the forms of treaties, customary international law , general principles and other sources of international law. International human rights law lays down obligations of Governments to act in certain ways or to refrain from certain acts, in order to promote and protect human rights and fundamental freedoms of individuals or groups.

Song about Human Rights - "Yes We Can"

Bear with me on this one. So it’s not technically a song, or at least it wasn’t until Will.I.Am turned it into a handy campaigning tool for Obama’s 2008 election. I know it’s nearly impossible to separate this from our current president, and the many disappointments we may have with him to date, but if you take it at face value it’s a promise of progress, change, and hope that we all share. When I listen to this now, the “we” for me is not the Obama administration, but all of us who are working towards equal rights and how together we can ultimately achieve the change that was promised to us. If for nothing else, I hope you can appreciate a reminder of the awesomely random celebrity cameos in this.

We know the battle ahead will be long

But always remember that no matter

What obstacles stand in our way

Nothing can stand in the way of the power

Of millions of voices calling for change

We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics

They will only grow louder and more dissonant

We've been asked to pause for a reality check

We've been warned against offering

The people of this nation false hope

But in the unlikely story that is America

There has never been anything false about hope 

What are your favorite equal rights anthems to get you through the day?

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a milestone document in the history of human rights. Drafted by representatives with different legal and cultural backgrounds from all regions of the world, the Declaration was proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in Paris on 10 December 1948 General Assembly resolution 217 A as a common standard of achievements for all peoples and all nations. It sets out, for the first time, fundamental human rights to be universally protected and it has been translated into almost 500 languages.

Preamble

Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world,

Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people,

Whereas it is essential, if man is not to be compelled to have recourse, as a last resort, to rebellion against tyranny and oppression, that human rights should be protected by the rule of law,

Whereas it is essential to promote the development of friendly relations between nations,

Whereas the peoples of the United Nations have in the Charter reaffirmed their faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person and in the equal rights of men and women and have determined to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom,

Whereas Member States have pledged themselves to achieve, in co-operation with the United Nations, the promotion of universal respect for and observance of human rights and fundamental freedoms,
