The Rohingyas of Myanmar are the world's most persecuted people. Rejected by the country they call home and unwanted by its neighbours, the Rohingya are impoverished, virtually stateless and have been fleeing Myanmar in droves and for decades.
Kofi Annan, the former head of the United Nations, who leads a commission that was formed in August to study conditions in Rakhine, said in Myanmar on Tuesday that he was “deeply concerned” by reports of human rights abuses in the country’s restive Rakhine State, where dozens of Rohingya Muslims are said to have been killed since October in a crackdown by the military.
The international media has reported Video showing alleged site of mass murder of Rohingya Muslims by soldiers. Activists have relayed stories of rapes, arson, targeted killings and other atrocities said to have been committed against the Rohingya there by the army since Oct. 9, when insurgents killed nine police officers in attacks on border posts.
When the global community is expressing their deep concern against these atrocities against the Rohingyas, the State of Myanmar and its current leader Aung San Suu Kyi’s failure to defend the Rohingya is extremely disappointing; an outrage, say some observers. "The point is that Aung San Suu Kyi is covering up this crime perpetrated by the military", said Tun Khin, who for years had supported her democracy activism.
Under these circumstances we call upon you as the humanitarian, spiritual and cultural leader of the conscious people of the world and of the Buddhist people to come forward in the aid of the persecuted Rohingya people of Myanmar; and also to call upon the Buddhist people of Myamnar and their leader Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi to bring an end to the atrocities against the Rohingya people.
We must act fast; because "people are dying day by day and time is running out." And they need your help.
