Mud cannot stain a real
ruby.
Beginning
of 21st century is marked the domination of democratic government
all over the world; America remains the sole leader of democracy, cessation of cold
war ended socialist and communist influence all over the World, and dictators
have fewer chances to remain in power.
When
Rakhine Buddhists started burning, and killing of us, I requested my teacher
who lives in Yangon to ask help from US embassy. He told me that he appealed
several time to the political officer of US embassy.
I
believe that USA is the sole Superpower which can solve our problem; I thought
US would help us, I did hope US would try to save Rohingya people but US did
not take any responsibility as a leader of World Democracy.
I
don’t understand that US has not acknowledged Rohingya genocide yet. I am not a
scholar, I hardly finished Bachelor Degree in Sittwe University, and I know the
meaning of genocide. Genocide
means any of the following acts
committed with intent
to destroy, in
whole or in
part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious
group.
In
Myanmar, Rohingya people have being persecuted for many decades, even their
existence is denied by the government, Rohingya people have been deprived of
even fundamental human right, thousands of Rohingya had already killed in the
prisons, and during the persecution. The Rakhine Buddhists and government are
continuously and consistently killing Rohingya in many different ways.
There
are thousands of Rohingya in the prisons of Rethedaung, Buthidaung, Mungdaw,
Kyauktaw, Pauktaw, and Sittwe who are
tortured violently by the polices when they are being brought to the court
every week, everyday at least 3 or 4 Rohingya die because of torture in every
prison and police custody. Is it not a planed genocide?
Myanmar
government alleged Rohingya as illegal immigrants from Bangladesh. The
government has been trying to prove Rohingya as illegal immigrants using NaSaKa
and various operations. The NaSaKa is a border
security force consisting
of members of
the police, Military
Intelligence, the internal security
or riot police
(known as Lon
Htein), customs officials,
and the Immigration and Manpower
Department. NaSaKa tried more than three decades but failed to prove a single
family which entered from Bangladesh.
United
States’ “War on Terror” became an excuse for Myanmar dictators to continue
persecution of Rohingya. It is used as a strategy for ethnic cleansing of
Rohingya. Thousands of unarmed innocent Rohingya were killed in the name of
terrorists. How can the people in the open prison of Arakan become
terrorists? US government knows very
well who are real the terrorists, why does US government keep silent to refuse
that Rohingya can not be terrorists?
Myanmar government has been systematically
persecuting Rohingya people for many decades. US government is informed human
right watch and other human activist groups but US government has not condemned
Myanmar dictator yet, why? “Crime against
humanity” means any
of the following acts
when committed as
part of a
widespread or systematic
attack directed against any civilian population, with knowledge of the
attack. Does US government know it?
Rohingya
people have long been discriminated against, and are denied citizenship under
the 1982 Citizenship Law. Rohingya asylum-seekers
continue to flee to Bangladesh, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Australia, and
other European countries. They are
subject to serious abuses, especially
forced labor (e.g.
construction of roads,
bridges, model villages and
military facilities, camp
maintenance, pottering) and
arbitrary taxation.
The Burmese
military regime is
allowing its troops
systematically and on a
widespread scale to
commit rape with
impunity in order
to terrorize and subjugate
the Rohingya people. The report
illustrates there is a
strong case that war crimes and crimes against humanity, in the form of sexual
violence, have occurred and continue in the whole Arakan State.
Last three months, there are thousands of arbitrary arrest
(including harassment and
violence by police forces, death
in custody and
sexual violence). In
addition, people are
often harassed (house searches,
confiscation of assets)
or beaten by
police forces, mainly during
controls or at checkpoints. Cases of rape of young women and children,
perpetrated by different police forces, have been reported international criminal
rules punish not
only rape but
also any serious
sexual assault falling short of
actual penetration. Still, US do not take any effective action to the Myanmar
government, why? Why does mighty US government so silent in order to take any
action? If US think that what I am
writing is wrong, US could send an independent international investigation
group to Arkan State.
Rakhine
Buddhists and Thein Sein government plan to deport or kill all Rohingya people,
why do world’s lawyers ignore this case. Is there any international law which
implement regarding deportation? “Deportation or forcible transfer
of population” means
forced displacement of the
persons concerned by
expulsion or other
coercive acts from
the area in which they are lawfully present, without
grounds permitted under international law.
Numerous
Mosques and Madrasas
have been destroyed.
Others are simply closed off. It is strictly forbidden to build new ones
since 1962– even renovating or repairing a
Mosque is forbidden .
The government also
confiscated Mosques and Madrasas
to make administrative building
of them .
Crimes Against
Humanity: namely, murder,
extermination, enslavement,
deportation…or persecutions on
political, racial or
religious grounds in execution
of or in
connection with any
crime within the
jurisdiction of the Tribunal, whether or not in violation of
the domestic law of the country where perpetrated.
Thein
Sein government must immediately end the persecution of the Rohingya minority
and the
violation of their
most basic human
rights. All policies
and practices amounting to
enslavement, restrictions on
movement, forced labor, deportation, forcible transfer of
population, land confiscation, rape and sexual violence, marriage
restrictions, arbitrary detention,
murder, torture and
other ill-treatment, discrimination, and other violations without delay.
US government can persuade Thein Sein government but US do not take any serious
consideration, why? If American or European are in Rohingya’s place, don’t they
change their policy? Don’t they think Rohingya as human?
According
to World Democracy, Thein Sein government must repeal all laws identified as
forming the basis of discriminatory policies against the Rohingya minority. In
particular, the government must put an end to the statelessness of the Rohingya
minority, and ensure its ability to live free and equal lives as full citizens
of Burma. Why don’t US citizens feel sorry for Rohingya people?
UN Special Reporter was given enough proofs
regarding the persecution in Arakan State. The
Security Council should establish a Commission of Inquiry to investigate and
collect further evidence on the perpetration of crimes against humanity in the Arakan
State. Why don’t US consider persecution
of Rohingya as a crime against humanity? Don’t they want democracy in Myanmar?
Thousands
of the Rohingyas have lost their homes,
and the Commission must ensure that the Thein Sein government provides them with homes
and the possibility
to live their
lives free from
fear of further persecution. Why don’t US try to put pressure on Thein
Sein government in order to save Rohingya people and Kachin people? Are those
US enemies? They are supporters of Democracy but US do no positive approach to
solve the problem, why? What kind of democracy does US government want in
Myanmar? Does US want Myanmocracy of Thein Sein in Myanmar? Does US government
want justice in Myanmar ? Can US government announce its policy and reason of
being silence regarding the Rohingya case? Do US need more documents to open up
the reality?
US
government knows well that Thein Sein’s so-called Investigation Commission is
just to deceive the World. Keeping silent knowingly against criminals is also a
crime. I
would like to appeal US government to consider my complaints sincerely and
recognize me as a human.
