Second Secret Camp Raided: Immigration Chief Tells of Alien-Thai Smuggling Gangs

        Please save the humanity!

Commented by Maung Kyaw Nu.

We applauded continuous rescuing dying Rohingyas form the human traffickers. The traffickers gangs have failed to pick pocket around one and half millions US Dollars . We are very much upset of Thai policy to push back them to Burma where genocidal killings are going . If they were really sent to Kaw Thaung of Burma ( opposite side of Ranong ),they will be arrested and kept in prisons with hard works for a long periods notorious prison in Burma. In fact ,these all detainees will be got back by the greedy traffickers in the middle of the seas before enter into Burma water . This is totally against the international law to throw these genocides escapees to the unsafe areas. It is requested  the 532+200 detainees to give shelter at the Refugee camps .The UNHCR can determine their status. This is our request to the Thai authorities to target the greedy traffickers and bring them for trail and deal the arrested Rohingyas as refugee as per international standard. We also appreciated concerned Thai authorities for inviting medias. The most important factor is their safety and help them not to fall second times at traffickers' trap.Please save the humanity!

Gunshot, Knife and Machete Wounds Tell of Burma's Rohingya Massacre Horror

THE SO CALLED POLICE CORPORAL IS ALIVE!
by Maung Kyaw Nu

It is learned to night that the so called police corporal is a live and secretly transfer to another unit.The world class lair regime made drama to started genocide .The whole genocidal killings was sponsored by newly chair of ASEAN U Thien Sein's forces. The death tools are very high and all the death bodies were buried secretly by the regime. The random raping is going inside the settlers' villages where Rohingya women are kept as hostages . The area of Maungdaw is fully blocked by the regime. The control genocide is still going there. Some boat loads Rohingyas are already leaving for unknown destination. The international protection is urgently needed in sea and Maungdaw to save the remaining Rohingyas.

Traffickers' Camp Raided, Rohingya 'Rescued' as Thailand Goes Over to the Dark Side

ASEAN CHAIR U THIEN SEIN BREEDING HUMAN TRAGEDY IN ASEAN COUNTRIES!
by Maung Kyaw Nu

It is good news that 532 Rohingyas were rescued from deathly trafficker's camp. There are more secret camps and hundreds of thousands are kept as hostages serving less food and beating daily .The women captives and regularly raped and die daily. It is also very sad news that all the rescued Rohingyas were detained again extremely cramped conditions in small cells where five Rohingya died last year at Sadao IDC only due to unhealthy atmosphere.The detaining genocide escapees Rohingya is fully against the international law and 1951 Refugee convention.These rescued Rohingyas should be sheltered in Refugee camps supervised by United Nation High Commission for Refugees UNHCR. In the main times some of these victims were recycling in between detention center and concentration camps of traffickers. By considering this, please release all the Rohingyas detainees and send them to the refugee camps or release them with UNHCR recognition certificate . If they are released by issuing temporary document ,the traffickers business will be automatically stopped. Our call to the Thai government is to trace out traffickers and book for trail and not to arrest the dying Rohingyas. We are also deeply afraid that all these 532 detainees will be again felt at the trap of traffickers if they are released simply at the boarder of Burma. Then there will be another Rohingya trade very soon every head @ minimum 2000 US Dollars x 532 persons=1,064000 USD more than a million dollars in total. The Rohingya trafficking is many times profitable than drugs business. Many people aware of racist U Thein Sein regime of Burma that discrimination against the Rohingyas. Even last week ,hundreds of Rohingya were chopped to death and many women are still being raped . Therefore ,this is my ardent request to deal with this detainees as refugees as per international standard. Please stop reaching outside Rohingyas to the detainees. Among the traffickers ,a few Rohingya are also involved . Some of them pretend as politicians ,social workers and interpreters. If local government officials work hard ,all the traffickers can be easily arrested.The boat people tragedy should be stopped if United Nations protected the Rohingyas from newly chair of ASEAN U Thien Sein's racist regime.

UN expert on Myanmar calls on Government to clarify reports of clashes in northern Rakhine State

UN expert on Myanmar calls on Government to clarify reports of clashes in northern Rakhine State

 

 GENEVA

(17 January 2014)

The United Nations Special Rapporteur on the human rights situation in Myanmar, Tomás Ojea Quintana, today urged the country’s authorities to investigate and clarify reports about violent clashes between security forces and Rohingya Muslim residents in Du Chee Yar Tan village in Maungdaw, Rakhine State. “I urge the Government to clarify what has happened.

Quick and transparent action can help to prevent further violence,” Mr. Ojea Quintana said. “If deaths and injuries have occurred, the Myanmar Government must, under international law, conduct a prompt, effective and impartial investigation and hold the perpetrators of any human rights violations to account.” The human rights expert has received reports of Rohingya Muslims being killed and injured as well as a security official being killed following a security operation in the village in Maungdaw, and of Rohingya men, women and children being arrested following the clashes. “Myanmar authorities must respect the due process rights of anyone arrested and detained, which includes access to legal counsel, and address the specific risks faced by women and children in detention,” he said. 

“Given the previous concerns I have raised about torture and ill-treatment of persons in detention in Maungdaw, I urge the authorities to provide access to independent monitoring groups to assess the treatment of those being detained,” the Special Rapporteur stressed. In his last report* to the UN General Assembly, Mr. Ojea Quintana highlighted the seriousness of the human rights situation in Rakhine State, which was posing one of the most serious threats to the reform process. Mr. Tomás Ojea Quintana (Argentina) was appointed by the United Nations Human Rights Council in May 2008.

 As Special Rapporteur, he is independent from any government or organization and serves in his individual capacity. He has worked at the Inter-American Commission of Human Rights. He was also the Executive Director of the OHCHR Programme for Protection and Promotion of Human Rights in Bolivia. Most recently, Mr. Ojea Quintana has represented the Argentinean NGO “Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo” in cases concerning child abduction during the military régime.

In Myanmar, Buddhist Mob Group Kills Dozens of Muslims

By ROBIN McDOWELL 01/16/14 10:32 AM ET EST

YANGON, Myanmar (AP) — A Buddhist mob rampaged through a town in an isolated corner of Myanmar, hacking Muslim women and children with knives, a villager and a rights group reported Thursday, saying there could be more than a dozen deaths.

A government official said the situation was tense, but denied any deaths.
Myanmar, a predominantly Buddhist nation of 60 million people, has been grappling with sectarian violence for nearly two years. More than 240 people have been killed and another 140,000, mostly Muslims, forced to flee their homes.

Chris Lewa of the Arakan Project, an advocacy group that has been documenting abuses against members of the Rohinyga Muslim minority for more than a decade, said the violence occurred Tuesday in northern Rakhine state.

Lewa said tensions have been building in the region since last month, when monks from a Buddhist extremist movement known as 969 toured the area and gave sermons by loudspeaker advocating the expulsion of all Rohinygya.

A resident who spoke on condition of anonymity because he feared reprisals said an initial flare-up followed the discovery of three bodies in a ditch near Du Char Yar Tan village by several firewood collectors.

Believing they were among a group of eight Rohingya who went missing after being detained by authorities days earlier, they alerted friends and neighbors who returned with their cellphones to take pictures, said the man, who works as a volunteer English teacher.

That night, five police went to the village to confiscate the phones and check family lists, but the crowd turned on the officers, beating and chasing them off, he said. The police returned at 2 a.m., saying one of their men had gone missing, he said.
That triggered a security crackdown.

Soldiers and police surrounded the village, breaking down doors and looting livestock and other valuables, the English teacher said. Almost all the men fled, leaving the women, children and elderly behind, he said.

Lewa said her sources reported that Rohingya women and children had been hacked to death, but the numbers varied widely. Some put the toll as low as 10, others in the dozens.

That some of the victims appeared to have been stabbed with knives, not shot or beaten, "would clearly indicate the massacre was committed by (Buddhist) Rakhine villagers, rather than the police or army," the Arakan Project wrote in a briefing Thursday.

The English teacher, who spoke by telephone, said 17 women and five children were killed.
Tensions have been reported for days, but getting information is difficult. Northern Rakhine — home to 80 percent of the country's 1 million Rohingya — runs along the Bay of Bengal and is cut off from the rest of the country by a mountain range.
Rakhine state spokesman Win Myaing said police had surrounded the village because they were looking for the policeman who went missing, but that he was not aware that anyone had been killed.
Khin Maung Than, a Muslim who lives in a neighboring village, said he visited Du Char Yar Tan and had seen no evidence of violence or deaths there.

Security forces still hunting villagers in Maungdaw

January 15, 2014

 

Security forces still hunting villagers in Maungdaw

 

Maungdaw, Arakan State: The Burmese security forces---police, Hluntin and army--- are still hunting and committing serious human rights abuses against the Rohingya villagers of Kilai Dong East village of Maungdaw south  since yesterday including--- rape and gang rape of women and girls, said Malik  ( not real name), a village elder of Kilai Dong. 

 

“They also deliberate targeting of civilians--- arbitrary killing, detention, torture, injures, looting, destruction of properties and houses of Rohingyas. Nobody is allowed to enter the village. At least 100 houses and one mosque have been destroyed and the entire paddy, rice, grains and other valuable goods had been taken away by the Rakhine villagers.”

 

Some dead or slaughtered bodies of women, girls and children have been found in the houses of the village. It is very difficult to confirm what is happening inside the village as the villagers are not allowed to enter their village.  Most of the male villagers fled from the village to avoid arrest and harassment and some of the villagers are missing from the village, according to a villager who secretly enter the village at night.  

 

Why the authorities do deliberately doing such kinds of event against the Rohingya villagers? Some people believe that the authority just want to divert people’s minds from the fact that they recently seized many arms and ammunitions of destruction at a Rakhine Buddhist monastery at Myoma Kayindan village of Maungdaw Town, said a local youth on condition of anonymity.

 

Some villagers said that the authorities concerned have been trying to find clue to destroy the village since the violence of June 2012. But, they successfully created the event of January 13, night. The authorities always try to find faults against the Rohingya people. The local authorities are encouraged by the state government and central government authorities, especially from President Thein Sein, though the president vowed that his government would do everything it can to protect the rights of minority Muslims, a businessman from inside Arakan said, who denied to be named.  

 

Today, after sun set, the Maungdaw 3- mile gate road was closed for cars and Rohingya people. And about 20 Rakhine youths holding long Dah (knife) per each going to Maungdaw south from 3-mile Gate, and also 30 motor-bikes drivers holding with long swords, was going to Maungdaw Town. Today, the Kilai Dong west village was also surrounded by army and observed the situation. Villagers, think that at night, there will be a mysterious event will be happened. There are two separate villages---one is called Kilai Dong east and another one is called Kilai Dong west, said an eyewitness of the village.  

 

Some of the villagers including women, girls, children and elderly people are taking shelter nearby villages of Shaira Para and Boddil Para where host villagers feeding them. However, the government authority announced that not to give shelter to the villagers of Kilia Dong east.

 

The Hluntin increased check-posts in strategically areas and nearby bridges to check the Rohingya passengers and villagers. When the security forces meet the villagers of Kilai Dong east village, they are arrested and other villagers are set free.   

 

One villager named Hakim informed that one mother along with two daughters were missing from the village since yesterday. Her husband is in Australia and she has 20 Ticals of gold.

 

Nobody knows how many villagers got arrested or died and the villagers are passing their days and nights with acute difficulties in winter season. A village elder urged to international community to give them protection, said a trader from the locality. ##Credid: Kaladan News

Thailand Should Close Secret Trafficking Camps, Says Rights Group/HRW

Maung Kyaw Nu said Human traffickers must be traced out and severely punished!!!

We are very thankful of Human Rights Watch media release of unfortunate and forgotten plight of Rohingyas. We are also pleased of regular ground news of Phuketwan despite facing defamation cases in regards of Rohingya boat people. Though the continue trafficking of Rohingya including women and children ,the severe action should be taken by concerned parties. Though Thailand is failure to stop inhuman human trafficking ,this is time for international joint team to cooperate in this dangerous case. I am sure the local southern people including some Rohingya know where the camps are established and who run the trafficking and where the ships reach.It is only need "will to do " and "will to cooperate" . We are ardently asking Thai authority to grant temporary shelter to this genocide escapees at the refugee camps under the supervision of UNHCR . This is the time not for highlighting tragedy news only but for practical action to end humanitarian crisis in this region.We sincerely call urgent intervention and severe punishment for traffickers.

Boatpeople Can No Longer Be Located

12 ROHINGYA SOHOT DEAD AND MANAY WERE BEATEN BUT NO ACTION YET!

If the international community, ASEAN people and government keep silence in this naked and deadly human trafficking and plight of Rohingyas ,the modern genocide will be continued . The newly selected Asian Chair should have to take all responsibility for this humanitarian crisis. We also learned the the new group of 139 and 60 from Sadao were sent to Rangnong last week . There are 300 Rohingya detainees now . I am afraid every Rohingya will be again sold @ 2000 USD just after their release from Immigration at the boarder. The traffickers are at the boarder to catch the big fish (Rohingya). The international joint investigation is urgently needed for shooting of 12 Rohingyas.

Mystery of Flow of Thousands of Rohingya Through Thailand Deepens as Families Flee Shelter

Maung Kyaw Nu says--- Thailand should have a severe law against the human traffickers. This is very difficult to understand how the traffickers manage to steal the women and children from well guarded government run center. As Phuket wan revealed ,Rohingya business is more profitable than drugs. The traffickers industry must be cracked down for the sake of humanity. I am also very surprised how arrested traffickers get bail or released. The Rohingya are facing genocide and ethnic cleansing in their own country as well as face modern genocides at the hands of traffickers in Thailand. The traffickers' money destroy moral character of some government officials also. I am repeatedly asking concerned authorities and news medias,TV channels not to use and invite any Rohingya in the south where Rohingya boat people are landed or detained.Once ,they get in touch with the fellow Rohingyas ,they immediately start trafficking business. A few of greedy Rohingyas also involved in this fearful trafficking. They jointly buy the second hand big boat and hire a Thai Muslim captain and start trafficking business. As a Rohingya ,I feel very inconvenient of Rohingyas including in trafficking . I beg the concerned experts to start work against the trafficking and pressuring Myanmar government to stop genocide. Media freedom and international investigation is urgently needed . The action against traffickers is humbly requested.

Phuket Reporters Aim to Pursue Justice for Boatpeople in 2014

By Alan Morison and Chutima Sidasathian

Wednesday, January 1, 2014

PHUKET: In the early hours of New Year 2013 we had been in Patong, checking on a beach party that Paris Hilton promoted, but few people on Phuket wanted.

We stopped at a car crash near Patong Hill. Before rescuers could cut the driver free, he died.

January 1 last year produced another surprise for Phuketwan's fifth birthday when we joined other reporters by intercepting a boatload of 73 Rohingya off Phuket.

What saddened and shocked us was the presence of women and children on the boat.

Men and teenage Rohingya boys had been sailing for years but for the first time, exactly a year ago today, we now knew that whole families were being forced to flee persecution and ethnic cleansing in Burma.

''The children waved to us as the speedboat pulled away to head back to Phuket,'' we reported. We posted not just one article but two articles on the Rohingya families that day.

''Rohingya Children Now Fleeing 'Certain Death' in Burma,'' said one headline. ''Will These Phuket Boat Children End Up For Sale by Human Traffickers?'' said the second.

We tried to track the treatment of the families but by the following day, they were being transported by truck north along the coast they'd just traversed to Ranong, the port on the border with Burma.

''Phuket Boat Families Trucked Back to Burma Border in Tears,'' said the headline. ''Most Rohingya sent back to Ranong end in the hands of people traffickers who organise for them to travel south again in a boat, provided they can pay a new fee,'' we wrote.

Sure enough, we learned from a senior Army officer, within 48 hours of arriving off Phuket the men, women and children had been placed on another boat in Ranong and ''helped on'' towards Malaysia.

Days later - perhaps even because Phuketwan had revealed that women and children were now fleeing on Rohingya boats - a series of raids took place on secret human trafficking camps in southern Thailand.

Hundreds of boatpeople were ''rescued'' and the Thai government announced it hoped to find new homes for them and to settle their status and future within six months. As the year wore on, it was disheartening for us to have to report that the plan was destined to fail.

Now we know that an ''industrial strength'' people smuggling operation using larger vessels is underway to shift thousands more Rohingya south to Malaysia, risking their lives on boats and in the hands of smugglers who are sometimes brutal killers, the Rohingya say.

Covering this enduring saga of misery and mistreatment brings us no joy. In January five years ago, we revealed that the Thai military was involved in inhumane ''pushbacks'' that led to the deaths of hundreds of men at sea.

An investigation was promised into that abuse. In the intervening years, investigations have been promised into other alleged abuses. No investigations have ever taken place.

Of all the kinds of corruption we have encountered in Thailand, the one that fills us with the greatest horror is the one that involves the trafficking of thousands of human beings along the Andaman coast, into secret camps where abuses continue, and across the border to Malaysia.

More Thais are learning about this shocking process, and more Thais are becoming disenchanted with a covert process that appears to embrace deceit, corruption, killings, rapes and even forms of slavery.

As a new year begins, we are extremely grateful to Captain Panlob Komtonlok for falsely suing us for criminal defamation on behalf of the Royal Thai Navy.

We believe that thanks to the captain, the appalling treatment of the Rohingya will now finally receive the worldwide attention it deserves. And there will be no hiding place for the men in uniform who tarnish Thailand's reputation by their actions.

We look forward in 2014 to finally getting our job done, even if getting our job done means going to jail.

Events in Myanmar are crime against Humanity

Harun Yahya,

04 January 2014

The scale of the slaughter, persecution, torture and savagery experienced during the ruthless ethnic cleansing campaign against the Rohingya Muslims in the Myanmar province of Rakhine stagger the imagination.

As a result of the slaughter and displacement carried out in the light of the systematic cleansing policy waged since 1942, only 700,000 out of the original four million Muslims in the region remain. To date, three million Muslims have been forced to migrate to neighboring countries, hundreds of thousands of Muslims have been martyred, tens of thousands of settlement units have been burnt and destroyed, tens of thousands of women have been raped, and hundreds of mosques and madrassas have been destroyed. Thousands of Muslims are known to have been imprisoned and tortured, though their fates are unknown.

In recent years, since the Bangladeshi government closed its borders to the refugees, hundreds of Muslims seeking to flee to that country have drowned in the seas and rivers on the frontier; and  this plays into the hands of the Myanmar regime that wishes to entirely purge the country of Muslims.

Our Muslim brothers have been burned alive in their homes in more than 330 attacks, which have worsened since June of last year, in which Muslim villages, including mosques and madrassas were burned. According to independent human rights organizations, in June 2012 alone, 1,000 Muslims in the region were ruthlessly martyred and 125,000 people were forced from their homes and villages and left to survive in the jungle.

Human Rights Watch has published a 153-page report concerning the crimes against humanity perpetrated against the Rakhine Muslims in recent months: The report accuses Myanmar authorities of engaging in ethnic cleansing of Rohingya Muslims in Rakhine. According to a UN statement, the Rakhine Muslims are the most persecuted social group in the world.
