“After six long years, Burma will finally have to answer before the Court for the crimes of 2017,” said Tun Khin, President of the Burmese Rohingya Organisation UK (BROUK). “But the genocide against the Rohingya has far from ended. Rohingya continue to face atrocities, war crimes and crimes against humanity in Rakhine/Arakan, while more than one million people remain forcibly displaced and denied their right to return home.”
The report comes just days after a new UN hunger hotspots assessment warned that Buthidaung Township in northern Rakhine State is at imminent risk of ‘IPC Phase 5 Catastrophe/Famine’ – the same classification currently applied in parts of Gaza. A military-imposed trade and aid blockade- combined with severe restrictions by the Arakan Army- is preventing life-saving humanitarian assistance from reaching Rohingya communities.
The Burmese Rohingya Organisation UK (BROUK) today formally petitioned the Federal Court in Buenos Aires to expand its universal jurisdiction case on the Rohingya genocide to also include atrocity crimes by the Arakan Army (AA). In doing so, it hopes to seek arrest warrants for Commander-in-Chief Major General Twan Mrat Naing, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Brigadier General Nyo Twan Awng, and others in the chain of command.
Rohingya in Rakhine State are being deliberately starved to death as they suffer from genocidal policies imposed by the Burmese military, detailed in a new report, ‘Starving to death: the latest phase of the Rohingya genocide’, by the Burmese Rohingya Organisation UK.
