           name of Rohingyas, are often deprived of the most basic rights to
           shelter, health, education, travel, marriage and participation in
           democratic elections.

                Hundreds of thousands of Rohingyas fleeing these inhuman con-
           ditions have sought refuge in neighboring countries.


                What does the report on Myanmar published by Human
                Rights Watch mean?


                The UN human rights council has published five reports about
           Myanmar and the UN general assembly has adopted 15 separate reso-
           lutions.

                Thousands of others have lost their lives from attacks or while
                                  attempting to flee.

                                        The UN has long monitored events in
                                    Myanmar. The UN human rights council has
                                    published five reports about

                                       Myanmar and the UN general assembly
                                   has adopted 15 separate resolutions.

                                         In the latest of these, dated Feb. 24, 2014,
                                     the general assembly reported on arbitrary
                                       arrests and detentions, forced displace-
                                         ment, rape, torture, discrimination
                                           affecting various ethnic and religious
                                            minorities, violence and violations of
                                            international humanitarian law.


                                            Many people have lost their lives during the
                                            conflicts between the Rohingya Muslims and
                                            Buddhists. The ultranationalist Buddhist gangs
                                            even indoctrinate their children with an
                                            opposition of Muslims.
