Page 35 - A Helping Hand for Refugees

In recent years, since the Bangladeshi government closed its bor-
ders to the refugees, hundreds of Muslims seeking to flee to that country
have drowned in the seas and rivers on the frontier; and this plays into
the hands of the Myanmar regime that wishes to entirely purge the
country of Muslims.
Our Muslim brothers have been burned alive in their homes in
more than 330 attacks, which have worsened since June of 2013, in
which Muslim villages, including mosques and madrassas were burned.
According to independent human rights organizations, in June 2012
alone, 1,000 Muslims in the region were ruthlessly martyred and 125,000
people were forced from their homes and villages and left to survive
in the jungle.
Human Rights Watch has published a 153-page report concerning
the crimes against humanity perpetrated against the Rakhine Muslims
in recent months: The report accuses Myanmar authorities of engaging
in ethnic cleansing of Rohingya Muslims in Rakhine. According to a
UN statement, the Rakhine Muslims are the most persecuted social
group in the world.
Although the Myanmar regime seeks to give the impression it is
not involved in acts of violence and terror, it still supports this geno-
cide by turning a blind eye to attacks, preventing humanitarian aid from
reaching Muslims, restricting their freedom to travel and live as human
beings and is protecting the aggressors.
Furthermore, the policies and sanctions imposed on Muslims by
the state are completely inhuman.
The Rohingya Muslims enjoy no citizenship rights and have no
access to any state benefits. They cannot obtain passports and are not
admitted to state hospitals. They are forced to work for nothing for the
state or in private institutions. They have no rights to enter the civil
service or even study beyond high school.
