56 page report on Rohingya oppression by Human Rights Watch

Now usually hyper-active (and often low-IQ) mard-e-momins tend to accuse Human Rights groups of "ignoring abuses faced by Muslims around the world" and trying to hide growing hatred faced by smaller sects and minorities in Pakistan, most of them yell "HR ACTIVISTS! Y U NO SPEAK OF BURMESE MUSLIMS"

Well it turns out, Human Rights Watch released a 56 page report on the exact issue of Rohingya oppression in Burma/Myanmar.

Of course most facebook pages run by Jamaati groups and hyper-active mard-e-musalman tend to ignore and keep diverting attention away from the issues faced by fellow Pakistani muslims and non-muslims here!!

So without further ado, here it is:

“The Government Could Have Stopped This”


Sectarian Violence and Ensuing Abuses in Burma’s Arakan State

August 1, 2012

This report describes how the Burmese authorities failed to take adequate measures to stem rising tensions and the outbreak of sectarian violence in Arakan State.

Though the army eventually contained the mob violence in the state capital, Sittwe, both Arakan and Rohingya witnesses told Human Rights Watch that government forces stood by while members from each community attacked the other, razing villages and committing an unknown number of killings

The report is based on 57 interviews conducted in June and July 2012 with affected Arakan, Rohingya, and others in Burma and in Bangladesh, where Rohingya have sought refuge from the violence and abuses.
