While Bangladesh government has been refusing international plea of giving shelter to the Rohingyas, which are Muslims from Arakan [Rakhain] state in the Western part of Myanmar, hundreds of Bangladeshi national are entering various Western countries and later proclaiming to be Rohingyas by producing fake certificates, which are sold to Bangladeshi nationals through an inter-country crime racket based in Akaran state.

Rakhine violence worries rights groups

In this June 19, 2012 photo, the sectarian violence spread to several towns and villages, including the state capital Sittwe in Myanmar.

Three human rights groups have called on the Myanmar government to allow an independent international fact-finding mission to probe the causes behind the latest spate of violence and identify perpetrators of the heinous acts against the Rohingya community.

In a joint statement, the three HR organisations -- Human Security Alliance, Asian Muslim Action Network and Odhikar -- have also expressed their deep concern at the reports in the international media that scores of Rohingyas were killed in the fresh outbreak of violence in the northern Rakhine state in Myanmar.

The three rights groups demanded that the Myanmar authorities allow unhindered access to the Rohingya settlements to make sure the physical safety and dignity of Rohingyas are ensured.

“We demand that free and unfettered access to international humanitarian agencies to provide relief and support to the members of both communities who are affected by violence,” the statement said.

They are also alarmed by the reports that hundreds of Rohingyas homes were burnt by a vengeful Rakhine community that, in turn, has led to the displacement of thousands of people. This is in addition to the 75,000 people who are still languishing in overcrowded camps set up by the Myanmar authorities with very little basic amenities.

Observers have noted that the recent outbreak of violence against the Rohingyas is in line with the long-term plan of the Arakani Rakhine community to eliminate Rohingyas from all the townships where they are a minority, the statement added.

It said, “We note that the local Myanmar authorities in connivance with the central government is pursuing a policy of apartheid under which tens of thousands of Rohingyas are housed in camps beyond the city limits under barbed wire fencing with armed guards placed at the entrances.”

The present violence is inextricably linked to the decade-long discriminatory and racist policies of the Myanmar government towards the Rohingya Muslims. The systematic persecution by the authorities includes denial of citizenship under Myanmar’s 1982 Citizenship Act, which renders Rohingya stateless and utterly without protection.

Since the 1960s, there have been multiple campaigns led by the Myanmar authorities to expel the Rohingya from Myanmar, resulting in a series of human rights violations leading to the persecution of Rohingyas. There are an estimated 800,000 Rohingyas in Myanmar, and approximately 300,000 live in Bangladesh, of which 30,000 live in squalid refugee camps, the release added.

Over 120 missing in Bangladesh boat accident

IANS | Nov 1, 2012, 08.33PM IST
DHAKA: More than 120 people are missing in Bangladesh after their boat capsized in the Bay of Bengal, officials said Thursday.

The wooden boat was carrying 135 illegal immigrants to Malaysia when it capsized close to Shah Parir island Sunday.

The accident came to light only Tuesday after six survivors informed fishermen after being rescued. They swam ashore from about 50 nautical miles off Shah Parir island.

The coast guard and other agencies have been alerted for help, Mohammad Jashimuddin, chief of Cox's Bazaar district administration that governs the island, told Xinhua.

An official said the missing people may have been drowned.
