ll nations give their citizens rights such as the right to

live in security, to marry and to receive an education.
These rights, enshrined in law, are so natural that
their absence generally never even crosses people's
minds. Yet there are also people unable to enjoy any
of these rights, such as our Muslim brothers from
Rakhine.

In Myanmar, the former Burma, crimes against humanity have
been inflicted on the Rakhine Muslims since 1978. They are maltrea-
ted in their own country, violated, banned from worshiping, unable
to marry and usually not even given identity documents. The people

of Rakhine are therefore being forced to flee their home country. It is
estimated that there are some 200,000 Rakhine people today living in
Pakistan, 300,000 in Bangladesh, 500,000 in Saudi Arabia, 13,600 in
Malaysia and 3,000 in Thailand.

In fact, it would be more accurate to say that they are "trying to
survive," because our Rakhine brothers cannot enjoy much peace or
security in the countries they have fled to, either. For example, some
of the 111,000 Rakhine people who settled in camps in Thailand were
maltreated in 2009, after which these innocent people were forced
onto boats and abandoned on the open seas. This savagery only came

to light when one of the five boats concerned was found by the Indo-
nesian authorities. 1
Thailand still maintains that same attitude today. Shocking
reports on the subject emerged from Thailand and Malaysia in Janu-
