“Rohingya have suffered through a decades-long genocide, affecting every aspect of their lives. The generations of Rohingya victims – whether still in Burma or living as refugees elsewhere – have a right to reparations, and we hope this case in Argentina will be the first real step towards that,” said Tun Khin, President of BROUK.
“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.
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.
We, the undersigned organizations, express our deep sorrow and strong condemnation of the ongoing humanitarian crisis orchestrated by Arakan Army in Burma’s Arakan State and the Bay of Bengal.
