FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda “The silence from [Myanmar’s pro-democracy leader] Ang San Suu Kyi is quite deafening and quite problematic considering that she’s going around promoting herself and being promoted as the beacon of democracy,” said Raza Kazim, spokesman for London-based NGO Islamic Human Rights Commission (IHRC), in an interview with Press TV on Friday.
Kazim expressed worries about Myanmarese President Thein Sein’s decision to expel the Rohingyas to potential United Nations refugee camps, saying such expulsion would be regarded as ethnic cleansing.
Sein said on Thursday that the “only solution” was to send nearly one million Rohingya Muslims to refugee camps run by United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). The UNHCR has snubbed the idea of setting up refugee camps to accommodate the Rohingyas.
The attacks on Myanmar Muslims have been heightened recently and they have been persecuted “since the eighteenth century,” Kazim maintained.
“It is shocking that the world has been silent and has been selective in terms of which kind of people they’re prepared to promote in terms of getting rights. But these people, who have had this problem meted out to them for such a long time and this situation has escalated in recent years quite considerably. Nothing is actually being done about it,” he went on to say.
The United Nations calls the Rohingyas one of the world’s most prosecuted people, who have undergone decades of discrimination, with Myanmar implementing restrictions on their movement and withholding land rights as well as education and public services.
The IHRC spokesman also called on non-Muslim people to make efforts to challenge the Myanmarese government’s decision, and prevent an “ethnic cleansing” similar to the Srebrenica massacre.
“I would actually say that, when a case of humanity actually comes out, it isn’t that somehow only the Muslim people need to look at this and think there is a problem here. Every person, every human being, who has a conscience, actually needs to think about, ‘How can I allow this, another Srebrenica or this kind of ethnic cleansing, to take place,’” he concluded.
Over the past two years, waves of ethnic Muslims have attempted to flee by boats in the face of systematic oppression by the country’s government.
The government of Myanmar refuses to recognize them. They say the Rohingyas are not natives and classify them as illegal migrants, although, they have lived in Myanmar for generations.
