Hold Burmese government responsible 
for crimes against humanity

http://www.avaaz.org/en/petition/Hold_Burmese_government_responsible_for_crimes_against_humanity/?fipFhab&pv=9

"Under a pretend transition to Democracy, Burmese regime has been enjoying overwhelming support from around the world. In the meantime, ethnic cleansing of minorities and political dissidents are at full scale. Starting from the end of May 2012 until now tens of thousands of Rohingya and Muslims around the country have been killed, nearly 30,000 houses and their religious places have been burned down. The violence has created over 100,000 IDPs, and tens of thousands escaped the country. Now it has become a burden to neighboring countries. The military, security forces and Buddhist mobs have been committing rapes with impunity. Sadly, the world has turned blind eyes on the atrocities.

I am a Rohingya currently living in Canada. I lost more than 50 of my family members and closed relatives including my father. Through this petition I am trying to raise awareness about the ethnic cleansing in Burma. I hope that through a concerted effort from international community, the killing can be stopped." ~Anwar S

Suffering of Rohingyas in Bangladesh Camps

“The Feeling You Get in Rohingya Refugee Camps”: Photo Gallery by Zoriah.




“As a photojournalist I have seen a lot of things others would never even want to imagine. Oddly enough, what really gets to me, what gives me nightmares more than anything else, are situations in which people are trapped and have no options.”

Fear stalks Muslims in Myanmar

Everything you need to know about the killing of Muslims in Meiktila. 

“….Buddhist mob attacked the school killing at least 30 students and four teachers.
Mon Hnin said she saw about 30 policemen arriving in trucks about 8am. From her vantage point, she saw how the students and teachers of the madrasa gave up to police the weapons they had improvised to defend themselves. She claimed that a group of them was offered the chance to be evacuated from the area in police trucks, but they were attacked by the mob before reaching the vehicles.”

The Government is Behind the Killing

Kristallnacht in Myamar:

“Not one bullet was fired, not one smoke bomb was dropped as scores of Muslims were attacked and some were burnt alive in Myanmar last week. The security forces just looked on. In a country where they routinely use brute force against political dissidents, villagers who protest land grabs and even monks, their passivity was sadly revealing.”

WE ARE ALSO HUMAN BEING. 
"ROHINGYA, The Most Persecuted People in the World"

An argument between a Buddhist couple and the Muslim owners of a gold shop in the Burmese city of Meikhtila escalated into a riot involving hundreds of people last week. The sectarian violence escalated over the weekend and has led to the deaths of dozens of people, the displacement of at least 10,000 more and the destruction of property.

Villagers corroborate Rohyinga story on Thai military shooting

‎
"Four Rohingya who swam to the shore were rescued by local Thai villagers. Thai security forces searched the area for two days after the incident, but the villagers kept the survivors hidden. The bodies of two Rohingya showing bullet wounds were later pulled from the sea and buried in a Muslim cemetery in Kuraburi district. Thai fishermen told Human Rights Watch they saw more dead bodies in the water but had no more information. The fate of the remaining passengers on the boat remains unknown after it was towed away by the Thai navy."
