[Quoted in Turkish from www.dunyabulteni.net]
here are only 140,000 people left out of around one
million Muslims that used to live in Arakan. Some
of the hundreds of thousands of people were mar-
tyred and some others had to leave their country
to get rid of tyranny and murders.
Basic civil rights were not accorded to
Rohingya Muslims for years. They did not have freedom of travel and
trade and were subject to numerous restrictions. Moreover, they are
also exposed to the intense and extreme acts of violence by fanatic
Buddhists. With the last series of violence acts in 2012, around 150,000
Muslims had to leave their houses. Most of them lost their lives dur-
ing the journey and some of them sought refuge in Bangladesh and
other neighboring countries. The Rohingya live under extremely
harsh and inhuman conditions in the countries where they migrated.
In October 2014, UN General Secretary Ban Ki-Moon indicated
that it was concerning to see that Rohingya Muslims
still suffered from violence and added that Myan-
mar government did not keep its words. In addi-
tion, the General Secretary pointed out that
the violence reached concerning
dimensions due to ethnical and
religious discrimination in the
country.
