An Outcry of World Most Persecuted Rohingya inside Arakan

Maungdaw (24/09/2012) - In a mail coming from inside Arakan; a Rohingya is asking as “why they (the government) are arresting us. Not a single Buddhist is arrested but why us? Why?” He may unaware that the politics of today is stand only for the interest of the world countries. He may have a hope as the visits of UN, US will assist them to stop nightmares they are facing since last June. The poor Rohingya also did not know the world countries of super power as how they hungry to do business with Burmese brutal regime and their voices in favor of stop the violence are just like singing while taking a bath inside bathroom.   

Even his questions in the mail can be defined as he expected his entire fellow Rohingyas who reached outside the country are very able to give them protection. 

He mentioned some names who were arrested in recent by Burmese brutal law enforced agencies as: 

         1.Mohammed Youos son of Omar Kazi, (28) years 

         2.Abdur Rahman son of Hussein Ahmed (29) years 

They both are from Kan Bu village of Aley Than Kyaw village tract and arrested by Border Security force at 8:00 pm on 19/9/2012.

 

       3.Khaleq Ahmed son of Younos, (40) years from Myoma Kayindan was arrested by          Police inspector Aung Kyaw Kan and group on 21/9/2012 in front of Maungdaw Custom Office. 

Another argument to be raised here as is not a single Bhuddist among all who were engaged themselves on killing Rohingyas since June involved into that violence to take into custody? Is not enough evidence to take as the violence is backed by government to sweep out Muslim Rohingya from Arakan soil? Indeed it is ethnic cleansing and the government very cleverly planned it by taking times to formulate it as communal riot. 

The sender’s last question is “Could you acknowledge what they are doing on Rohingya?” He further said Please REPLY me. If someone has answer for him and dare to answer his question, please reply him.

Religious Persecutions Continue 

Arakan, Burma- Since the beginning of the violence against Rohingyas, the authority declared curfew order which prevents Rohingyas from performing their daily prayers in the Mosques. Almost all the mosques have been locked down since then. According to Rohingyas, there have still been no Azaan, no five times prayers and Friday prayers. Most of their religious leaders were arrested, locked up, are tortured and charged with pre-planned false cases. The declared curfew order is infinitely in effect upon Rohingyas not known when it will end. Yet, Burmese regime is blatantly lying that Rohingyas are not religiously persecuted and hence it is not a religious violence. Above all, if it is not a religious violence, then what is it?
