Egypt activists to protest at Myanmar embassy over Rohingya attacks
Egypt activists to protest at Myanmar embassy over Rohingya attacks
Manar Ammar | 28 June 2012 | 7 Comments
Western Myanmar’s Rohingya Muslims face food shortages and ethnic violence.
CAIRO: Egyptian rights activists announced their solidarity with the under attack Muslim Rohingya community in Arakan, Myanmar, and plan to protest outside the Myanmar embassy later on Thursday.
“We are against exterminating peoples for their religion or beliefs,” said the invitation to action.
“The Arakan region has seen some serious human rights violations since the beginning of June where Muslims were attacked by Buddhists.”
The activists plan to gather in the upscale Cairo neighborhood of Zamalek at 5 PM to protest the ethnic violence outside of the embassy.
Some 30 Rohingya have been killed in violent clashes in Myanmar as a result of ethnic violence with Buddhists in the Western area.
The stateless community has struggled to find a positive way of life as many fled violence in Myanmar in the early 1980s.
The Rohingyas said the flare up of violence in Myanmar has claimed the lives of more than 1,000 people in the past three decades and they want an end to the alleged atrocities.
They want a UN peacekeeping force as well as a medical team to be sent there immediately.
Many fear that thousands of Rohingyas may be heading towards a crisis situation without food, shelter and medication.

Thanks the Egyptians brothers and sisters for solidarity and helping to solve the human rights situation and helping to put a Stop on the killings in Arakan State based on human rights.
Swe Zin seems the rubbish, is trying to lie even on this website with baseless and groundless statement. Rohingyas are the ethnic people of Arakan State before Islam arrived there and unto now and ever will based on historical and geographical factors. Those devils also known anti-Muslims and anti-Rohingyas are trying all options for killing the ethnic Rohingyas, but the fact that there are several humane and powerful governments of our world to protect ethnic minorities of Burma and to bring the killers to face justices however possible!
Zwe Zin, if you want any information regarding Burmese ethnic Rohingyas, you can reach me at burmademocracynetwork@gmail.com

If you think they are persecuted and discriminated, why don't you let them stay in your country? Without knowing the history and the violence they created, don't comment.

SIO protests at Myanmar?s Kolkata consulate against killing of Muslims
SIO protests at Myanmar’s Kolkata consulate against killing of Muslims
Students Islamic Organisation of India on Wednesday staged a protest demonstration outside Myanmar’s Consulate office against the killings of Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar in last few weeks.
(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - SIO officials wanted to meet the Consul General Mr. U. Kyaw Swe Tint, but Myanmar officials refused, but later through Police Official the Myanmar Consulate accepted a memorandum of SIO.
Along with SIO supporters, the protest demonstration was participated by other Muslim Organisations also.
State President of Welfare Party of India Dr Raisuddin and State President of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind Md Nuruddin were also present in that demonstration and delivered their speeches.
Md Nuruddin said, Rohingya Muslims are historically citizens of Myanmar, but Myanmar’s Military Government is not willing to accept this historical truth.
Thousands of Rohingya Muslims have been killed in last few weeks.
They are being tortured. So, Rohingya Muslims fear life and destruction of their home, property. Rohingya Muslims are losing their ground in their homeland and being made refugees.
They are being forced and pushed towards neighbor country Bangladesh.
Now a large number of Rohingya refugees are living in inhuman condition on the boats in river or at no man’s land, nearby Bangladesh.
They want to get shelter in Bangladesh, but Bangladesh does not allow them to enter the country.
Mr. Nurddin expressed surprise over the silence of the Muslim world. He also condemned that, Consul General of Myanmar Consulate in Kolkata refused to meet their officials due to Myanmar Junta run government.
According to Myanmar’s rule any general public body cannot be allowed to meet with their Consul, claimed Myanmar Consul official.
In this regards Nuruddin said, India Government should stop the consul office of Myanmar in India. Every one has right to protest and no one can stop their voice.
Nuruddin asked as how a Consulate Official denied accepting memorandum in our democratic country. If they violated people of India’s right the consulate should be closed by the India Government, he said.
State President of Welfare Party Dr Raisuddin said, Rohingya Muslim refugees are living in a very painful condition on the river.
They are not getting water, food etc. So, they are willing to get shelter in Bangladesh and Bangladesh Government should allow them on humanitarian ground.
SIO’s state Campus Secretary Mafikul Islam said: We want this issue to be handled by United Nation. A huge number of Rohingya Muslim children is dying due to lack of food. Myanmar Government should take initiatives immediately.
The demonstration continued till 2pm when the Kolkata Police official assured them to take their memorandum to Myanmar Consul’s hand.
After the demonstration a delegation of SIO met Bangladesh consulate officials at Park Circus. They submitted a memorandum and appealed to the Bangladesh Government to allow Rohingya Muslim refugees to enter Bangladesh as they are continuously staying in painful condition.

- Rohingyas are not from another country which has created and has been playing a balme game by injustice and non democratic Burmese military regime since 1962.We Rohingyas have our own language and culture you can't compare by Bengali nation.There are a lot of neighbor countires around the world not only Myanmar is a single country which has become unknown country around the world bcz of non-equal rights and injustice action against to the all ethnic groups including Rohingyas.
I request to the world community, the EU, UN , USA and NGO to bring a 3 parties table talk ( Burmese, Rohingya and Bengali leader ) to solve this long standing issue and ending the blame game forever.
