Pres.Obama should warn Burma to immediately stop
Rohingya tragedy and return all their stolen rights. Thailand leader must
rtaise the Rohingya boat people issue at 2014 Asean summit in Myanmar.

The District Chief Khun Manit can not control the
rescued people in the camp or police custody. There are people around
him who always busy to steal the victims but he doesn't know them
really. Every victim can be sold @ minimum 2000 US dollars . I am sure
the sincere and honest officer Khun Manit realizes it now. The officers
and honest volunteers should have very difficult to clarify the
traffickers. Every Rohingya pretend to be rescuers ,activists and
translators are directly work for traffickers. I am sure most of the
victims are going to be recycled again in between traffickers and
rescuers. If the rescued victims can be kept out of Rohingya helpers
touch ,Khun Manit dream will be easy to reach goal. Otherwise the
trafficking will be continued .rohingya victims are hot cake to
pickpocketing a big money within hours in the south.<br />

<div class="">
As
per BRAT news room ,we didn't have any evidences that anyone or group
of Burma directly traffick Rohingya and Kaman from the ground .Those who
are fleeing are due to continue genocidal action in their own country.
The government approved Rakhine Action Plan which force ancestral
Rohingyas to be foreigner Bengali , not returning their National ID
cards and delaying to return their seized home are the real factor for
mass fleeing . It is true that ,Rohingya arriving Thailand ,Malaysia
always fall at the hands of waiting traffickers. Then starts various
method of discrimination against the captives. The victims lives are
recycling among the traffickers gangs. There are very rear groups have
good intention to stop the Rohingya tragedy at the hand of traffickers.
It is more than true that some Rohingyas and foreigners make big money
from Rohingya plights. They seem to see plight of Rohingya to be
continued for their continue earning money . Frankly ,we have lost
confidence on so called Rohingya helping group . The trafficking will be
continue if the sincere and honest activists ,rights groups are not
coming forwards. If so called news suppliers and helpers of the
Rohingyas become part of traffickers , how the tragedy of Rohingyas will
be stopped ?As Rohingyas we are directly concerned and we know the real
pain of tragedy.</div>

<h2>
Asia's drug problem is ravaging communities at an alarming rate, but
in the nation of Myanmar, the drug addiction epidemic has become so
pervasive that shopkeepers give customers syringes as change when they
do not have currency.</h2>
In <a href="http://www.kachinwomen.com/images/7Oct14Report/silent_offensive_drug_report_english.pdf">"Silent Offensive," a stunning report</a> by
the Kachin Women’s Association of Thailand--a women's group covering
the border region between Thailand and Myanmar--drug addicts and their
families tell stories of the horrific lengths to which heroin addicts
will go to feed their addiction, and just how pervasive heroin is in
certain communities. <a href="http://www.globalpost.com/dispatch/news/regions/asia-pacific/myanmar/141023/heroin-use-myanmar-syringes-currency">As the Global Post notes</a>,
a customer in some areas of the Kachin border state will receive
syringes as change in stores. Previously, store owners would also
dispense candy or cigarettes instead of money, as customers perceived
these to be more valuable than actual Burmese money. The report notes
that, in addition to syringes, "<span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.4;">gas
stations also make change using bottles of sterile water, which addicts
draw into syringes to turn powdered heroin into an injectable </span>liquid."<br />
The Global Post estimates that 80% of young people in Kachin are drug
addicts. In its capital, Myitkyina, "needles are strewn in the fields,
on the streets and on the local university’s campus. In the internet
cafes, patrons are warned not to shoot up while checking email."<span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.4;"><br />
</span><br />
<a href="http://www.globalpost.com/dispatch/news/regions/asia-pacific/myanmar/131219/opium-warfare?page=0,2">In an extensive report by Patrick Winn</a>,
the Global Post reports that the problem is particularly acute in the
mountains of Kachin, in large part because police presence is minimal in
the mostly Christian area, especially compared to the totalitarian
displays in the Buddhist center of the country. The divide has led many
to accuse the government of deliberately allowing heroin to spread like
wildfire, incapacitating the region's youth to prevent an uprising.<br />
The words "ethnic cleansing" and "genocide" flow freely in Winn's
article, as those who oppose drug use in the region and have lost
friends and family to heroin suspect the government's motives for taking
a passive role in policing the region. “It’s an ethnic cleansing
policy. ... This drug is being used as a weapon," says one Kachin drug
researcher working at Kansas State University. A student at Myitkyina
University, who single-handedly launched an anti-heroin offensive at the
capital school, condemns the government for "a form of genocide,"
stating, "They can fight us outright and waste money and soldiers’
lives, or they can let drugs destroy us at our core, our education
system, for free.”Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06745295370892673057noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3895375196784593478.post-91383245914441991872014-11-04T00:31:00.000-08:002014-11-04T00:31:43.915-08:00UNHCR launches 10-year global campaign to end statelessness<div id="openDoc">

GENEVA, November 4 (UNHCR) <span class="arial">–</span> The UN
refugee agency, with endorsement from high-profile supporters, on
Tuesday launched a global campaign aimed at ending the devastating legal
limbo of statelessness, which affects millions of people around the
world.<br />
"The goal of eradicating statelessness is looking increasingly
possible thanks to dramatic recent progress in the number of states
acceding to two key UN human rights treaties," said a UNHCR press
release announcing the "I Belong" campaign.<br />
<br />
UN High Commissioner for Refugees António Guterres, UNHCR Special
Envoy Angelina Jolie and more than 30 celebrities and world opinion
leaders today published an Open Letter, saying that 60 years after the
United Nations first agreed to protect stateless people, "now it's time
to end statelessness itself."<br />
<br />
At least 10 million people worldwide are currently stateless and a
baby is born stateless every 10 minutes. Not allowed a nationality, they
are often denied the rights and services that countries normally offer
their citizens.<br />
<br />
"Statelessness can mean a life without education, without medical
care or legal employment . . . a life without the ability to move
freely, without prospects or hope," the Open Letter said. "Statelessness
is inhuman. We believe it is time to end this injustice."<br />
Acclaimed actress and director Jolie said being stateless meant
adults and their children having no legal identity, no passport, no
vote, and few or no opportunities to get an education. "Ending
statelessness would right these terrible wrongs. But it would also
strengthen society in countries where stateless people are found, by
making it possible to draw on their energy and talents. It is both an
obligation and an opportunity for governments everywhere to put an end
to this exclusion," she said.<br />
<br />
Most situations of statelessness are a direct consequence of
discrimination based on ethnicity, religion or gender. Twenty-seven
countries at present deny women the right to pass their nationality on
to their children on an equal basis with men, a situation that can
create chains of statelessness that span generations. There is also a
very real link between statelessness, displacement and regional
stability.<br />
<br />
UNHCR's campaign is being launched amid signs of a shift in
international attitudes surrounding statelessness. Three years ago,
there were barely 100 states parties to the two statelessness treaties <span class="arial">–</span>
the 1954 UN Convention relating to the Status of Stateless Persons and
the 1961 Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness. Today the number
of accessions stands at 144, bringing critical mass within reach.<br />
<br />
Despite such progress, new risks of statelessness have emerged with
the growing number of major conflicts. Wars in Central African Republic
and Syria, for example, have forced millions of people into internal
displacement or into becoming refugees.<br />
Tens of thousands of refugee children have been born in exile and
UNHCR is working with the governments and partners in the countries
receiving refugees on prioritizing birth registration for these
children. The fact that many lack documents or that in some situations
fathers have gone missing because of the conflict means that many of
these children may face difficulties in proving they are citizens.<br />
<br />
UNHCR has partnered with the United Colors of Benetton to create the
"I Belong" campaign, which aims to draw global attention to the
devastating life-long consequences of statelessness. Benetton has
developed the creative content of the campaign and the campaign website
to host it. Following the campaign launch, the Open Letter will become
an online petition on this microsite, aiming to collect 10 million
signatures in support of ending statelessness within a decade.<br />
<br />
The refugee agency also released on Tuesday a "Special Report on
Statelessness," which highlights the human impact of the phenomenon, and
a 10-point Global Action Plan to End Statelessness. This aims both to
resolve major existing crises and to ensure no child is born stateless
in the future.<br />
"Statelessness makes people feel like their very existence is a
crime," said Guterres. "We have a historic opportunity to end the
scourge of statelessness within 10 years, and give back hope to millions
of people. We cannot afford to fail this challenge."<br />
While issues of statelessness remain politically contentious in some
countries, in others ending it can be as simple as changing a few words
in a country's citizenship law. Over the past decade, legislative and
policy changes have allowed more than 4 million stateless people to
acquire a nationality or have their nationality confirmed.<br />
<br />
For example, a 2008 High Court ruling in Bangladesh allowed 300,000
stateless Urdu speakers to become citizens, ending generations of
despair. In Côte d'Ivoire, where statelessness was a root cause of a
decade of armed conflict, legal reforms in 2013 allow long-term
residents in the country to acquire a nationality. In Kyrgyzstan, more
than 65,000 former Soviet citizens have acquired or confirmed their
Kyrgyz citizenship since 2009.<br />
This year marks the 60th anniversary of the 1954 UN Convention
relating to the Status of Stateless Persons, which, alongside the 1961
Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness, provides the international
legal basis for ending statelessness.<br />
<br />
"With enough political will, UNHCR believes statelessness can be
resolved. And unlike so many other problems facing governments today,
statelessness can be solved in our lifetime," Tuesday's press release
said. There are currently 83 state parties to the 1954 Convention and 61
to the 1961 Convention.<br />

<strong>A
key figure in the protests that engulfed Myanmar in September 2007,
Gambira spent four years and two months behind bars – and was brutally
tortured by his captors – before being released from prison in a January
2012 amnesty. Having once taken on the military regime, Gambira is now
engaged in a new battle: overcoming post-traumatic stress disorder that
stems from his time in prison, writes Kayleigh Long.</strong><br />

It
was the meditation that Gambira learned as a young monk that helped him
to survive prison, with its beatings, boredom and awful food. It helped
him to be free – “free from fear, free from anger, free from grief”, he
says – despite the bare walls and iron bars.<br />
These days, he meditates just once a day, before bed. It helps him sleep.<br />
While
the rest of us take it for granted, sleep does not come easy for
Gambira, who shot to prominence as one of the leaders of the 2007
protests. When it does finally arrive, his dreams are filled with
recurrent nightmares.<br />
“I have dreams – it is like physical
torture. They’re not really beating [me] now, but it is not far away,”
he told The Myanmar Times during a recent interview in Chiang Mai.<br />
A
pair of jeans and a plain T-shirt – sometimes matched with black-rimmed
glasses and a leather jacket – have replaced the monk’s robes that the
35-year-old wore for most of his adult life.<br />
Some outward signs
of his time in the Sangha remain. When speaking Burmese, he has a deep,
rhythmic voice - a cadence that likely developed from years of chanting.
One of the hardest aspects of transitioning to lay life, he says, was
adjusting to the informal tone of conversation.<br />
Like many monks,
Gambira had a formidable memory. This helped him greatly when he went
underground before the uprising, as it was too dangerous for plans to be
written down.<br />
He can still recall much about the four years and
two months he spent behind bars - normally solitary confinement - in
prisons in Yangon, Sagaing, Ayeyarwady and Mandalay regions. But since
walking free in January 2012, Gambira has struggled to remember basic
things, such as taking the minimum-dose mood stabilisers he has been
prescribed, or the antihistamines for his sinus problems.<br />
A
physician who treated him upon his release said he showed signs of
traumatic brain injuries (TBI) from the severe beatings inflicted by
guards. When he first got out, his speech had been affected and he was
prone to slurring.<br />
Life after prison was tough. Never out of the
spotlight for long, Gambira made a short-lived return to the Sangha, and
an even shorter marriage. He was rearrested several times and
eventually moved to Thailand, where he sought treatment for
post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).<br />
Some of the scars he bears
from prison, like those around his wrists from being forced to wear
steel handcuffs for three months, will not fade. With treatment, though,
there is hope that his poor memory, insomnia, headaches and recurrent
nightmares – all textbook PTSD symptoms – can be alleviated, if not
cured.<br />
<strong>Life at The Cabin</strong><br />
In mid-2014,
Gambira became an outpatient at The Cabin, a high-end rehabilitation
facility on the outskirts of Chiang Mai. At US$13,000 a month, The
Cabin’s treatment programs would normally be outside Gambira’s means,
but he has been taken on for free as part of the centre’s CSR program.<br />
His
treatment at The Cabin is a regular schedule of yoga, mindfulness
meditation and eye movement directional reprocessing (EMDR) therapy,
overseen by his therapist, Rory Magee.<br />

<b>Maung Kyaw Nu,President of Burmese Rohingya Association in Thailand (BRAT)</b><br />
Many Rohingyas are on the way to Thailand because of
recent Rakhine action plan that force them to change their ancestral
Rohingya identity into "BENGALI" which is completely foreign to them.
This pro government plan force them to leave for other
countries.Otherwise Rohingya will be kept in well guarded CONCENTRATION
CAMPS in their own country . There some people from Bangladesh on the
boat to Thailand .too. At this genocidal situation ,some greedy people
take advantages from the boat people.The traffickers gangs are very
organized and strong to run this inhuman slave trade . The have good net
work .Comparatively more victims are raped and died this year at the
concentration caps of traffickers. If the dedicated authority not come
forwards ,the human tragedy will be continued. The Burmese government
has not intention to stop it. According to UN GA report ,Burma would
like to drive all Rohingyas from their native area. Who will come to
help this unfortunate people ? What is the obligation of UN and
international community to stop the genocide and human trafficking ? Are
they not coming forwards to save the HUMANITY ? At least outside world
knows about the human tragedy because of Phukewan's ground repots.<br />

<h1>
Victims Left in Thailand Traffickers' Jungle Camp as Raiders Carry Out Others</h1>
By Chutima Sidasathian and Alan Morison <br />

PHUKET: Rescuers who raided a secret camp in the jungle of southern
Thailand at the weekend were forced to leave behind five men they could
not carry.<br />
<br />
Four adults and six children were able to flee the camp in the company
of the raiders while hundreds of other captives fled into the scrub
during the chaos before the raid. <br /><div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="margin: 10px 0px 0px 8px;">

</div>
</div>
<br />
<b>Because the human traffickers are usually armed and capable of bringing
in reinforcements, the raiders were forced to leave the five men behind.
</b><br />
<br />
They feared the traffickers, who fled with their captives, would return.<br />
<br />
The three men who went with the raiders were carried out on poles and hammock-style slings. <br />
<br />
<b>It's hoped that the adults will be able to give evidence against the
traffickers, who at this camp have been accused of perpetrating many
rapes, including one captured in a horrific and graphic video. <br />
<br />
</b><span style="color: red;">The woman who escaped on Saturday night told rescuers the victim in the
rape video had bee raped ''many times'' and had since been sold as a
wife.</span><br />
<br />
The photographs above were taken inside the jungle camp by the raiders.<br />
<br />
Awareness of Thailand's role in being a conduit for the trafficking of
boatpeople from Burma and Bangladesh grows with each incident. <br />
<br />
Although most of the boatpeople are Rohingya Muslims fleeing persecution
in Burma's Rakhine state, more recent arrivals have included
Bangladeshis who were either kidnapped or enticed then coerced into
seeking jobs in other parts of the country and found themselves on boats
sailing south.<br />
<br />
Overnight, a group of 17 boatpeople was involved in a crash in the southern province of Surat Thani. <br />
<br />
It's believed they were belng trafficked. The group is being held at
Thachang Police Station while authorities decide what to do with the
men.<br /><br />http://phuketwan.com/tourism/victims-left-traffickers-jungle-camp-raiders-carry-others-21295/</div>

A new UN draft resolution takes aim at Myanmar's
aggressive campaign to have its Rohingya Muslims identify as a term they
reject, urging "access to full citizenship on an equal basis."<br />
The European Union-drafted resolution, obtained on Friday by The
Associated Press, puts pressure on the Southeast Asian country to change
its campaign, preferably before world leaders including President
Barack Obama arrive for a regional summit in less than two weeks.<br />
Myanmar's 1.3 million Rohingya have been denied citizenship and have
almost no rights. Attacks by Buddhist mobs have left hundreds dead and
140,000 trapped in camps. Others are fleeing the country.<br />
Authorities want to officially categorise the Rohingya as "Bengalis,"
implying they are illegal migrants from neighbouring Bangladesh.<br />
The Rohingya counter that many of their families have been in Myanmar
for generations. Effectively stateless, they are wanted by neither
country and say the Myanmar government's campaign feels like an effort
to have them systematically erased.<br />
The vast majority of Rohingya live in the state of Rakhine. President
Thein Sein, a former general, is considering a "Rakhine Action Plan"
that would make people who identify themselves as Rohingya not only
ineligible for citizenship but candidates for detainment and possible
deportation.<br />
The resolution now before the General Assembly's human rights
committee is nonbinding, but a strong vote in its support would send a
message that international opinion is not on Myanmar's side.<br />
The resolution expresses "serious concern" about the Rohingya's
status. It calls on the government to "allow freedom of movement and
equal access to full citizenship for the Rohingya minority" and to
"allow self-identification."<br />
Myanmar's plan worries some in the Muslim world, and the Organization
for Islamic Cooperation pushed for strong language in the resolution.<br />
The Rohingya have emerged as a sensitive issue as Myanmar, a
predominantly Buddhist state, tries to move away from decades of
repressive military rule toward democracy.<br />
This week, Myanmar's ambassador to the United Nations, Tim Kyaw, told
the General Assembly's human rights committee that his country is not
"targeting a religion." He warned that "insisting on the right to
self-identification will only impose obstacles to finding a lasting
solution" to ethnic tensions.<br />
Vijay Nambiar, the UN secretary-general's special adviser on Myanmar,
told AP this week that Myanmar's government is facing increasing
pressure to allow the Rohingya to identify as something other than
Rohingya or Bengali.<br />
But, Nambiar said, "In the immediate future, the government says that's not possible."<br />

Action Plan , random killing ,raping ,arbitrary arrest and forcefully
making them foreigners naming Bengali against their will. By taking this
advantage ,a few trafficking groups mostly consisting of <span>Rhingya</span> god fathers started barbaric mafia business alongside the Burma-Thailand -Malaysia borders. REMARKABLY in Thailand ,<span>Rohinyas</span>
work as volunteers of rescue team ,no doubt, are also partly working with
trafficking gangs, too.They pretend as activist ,social workers , helping
to the authorities as volunteers for rescue operation ,feeding the
rescued or detained victims. This handful characterless <span>Rohingyas</span> also earned good recommendation from a few <span>NGOs</span> and news medias as their interpreters and helpers.

sell ,rape ,torture ,kill and steal the victims from the
police custody and welfare shelters.Then they confine the victims and start various types of tortures. Even before start rescuing
operation ,the <span>Rohingyas</span> volunteers often demand 200 <span>USD</span>
per head from main boss of traffickers for sharing advance operation news to traffickers. So ,we
can easily witness every rescuing operation only get a few acute sick or
disabled people during the operation . Hundreds managed to run away as per pre planned of Rohingya informers. How it be
possible if the traffickers are not get information in advance before the
operation ? This so called <span>Rohingya</span> volunteers are in fact working for traffickers and they shareholders too. This handful characterless <span>Rohingyas</span> stop their <span>ROTI</span>
SELLING now and become RICH MEN .If the authority and Civil society of
Thailand really would like to decrease or eliminate the trafficking ,
first they should have fully stop so called <span>Rohingyas</span> using
as volunteers .Otherwise ,the trafficking will be going full scale . On
other hands , Burma's law breakers /killers /rappists must go for trail
and the lost rights of Rohingyas' must be gained . The international
community's blind eye on this barbaric trafficking and on going Rakhine action plan
will lead another Pol Pot style genocide . The genocide will take
thousands of Rohingyas' lives in <span>Arakan</span> ,Burma. Please come forwards to SAVE HUMANITY !<br />

Secret Jungle Camp Raided: Women and Children Revealed as Traffickers' Victims</h1>

PHUKET: <span style="color: red;"><b> Volunteers who raided a human trafficker's secret jungle camp in <span class="" id="oz54ri3g0_3" style="height: 12px;">southern Thailand</span>
in search of two rapists failed to catch their targets but found
evidence of the harsh treatment of children and other captives.</b></span><br />
<br />
<b>Ten people, including six children, have been taken into care as a
result of the raid. About 300 others in the camp, close to Thailand's
border with Malaysia, fled as their trafficker-guards deserted them to
escape the raiders.</b><br /><div class="" id="articleToolsInline">

Three men, who struggled to move, are now being treated in a hospital in
the town of Sadao. <span style="color: red;"><b> A woman and six children are being sheltered in a <span class="" id="oz54ri3g0_5" style="height: 12px;">safe house</span>. <br />
</b></span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>The woman, shown a <span class="" id="oz54ri3g0_4" style="height: 12px;">graphic video</span>
of a rape that allegedly took place in the camp, said that the female
victim was a friend and confirmed she had been in the camp. <br />
<br />
The friend, who was single, had been raped ''many times'' and had since
been sold as a wife, the woman said. She also identified the two
rapists.<br />
<br />
Other women in the camp had been raped. Captives sometimes died because conditions in the jungle were so primitive, she said. <br />
<br />
The woman has three sons aged seven, five and eight months. <br />
<br />
She told her rescuers that the family fled the violence against
Rohingya Muslims that erupted in 2012 and her husband died in a UN
refugee camp in 2013. </b></span></span><br />
<br />
She was pregnant at the time of her husband's death and could not work. The food supply was miserable. <br />
<br />
Soon after giving birth, she joined about 600 others on a boat, with all
three sons. They were trucked from coastal Thailand to the secret camp.
<br />
<br />
All three boys are in poor health after spending seven months as captives of the traffickers, rescuers told <i>Phuketwan</i>. <br />
<br />
Skin diseases have been triggered because the camps are in the open,
with earth as flooring. The eldest boy showed two badly infected hands
and lesions on his body and legs. <br />
<br />
The woman said she had no relatives capable of paying the ransom
demanded by the traffickers in exchange for their captives, which is why
she and her children had been in the camp for seven months. <br />
<br />
She had not been beaten or abused because she had a reputation as a herbalist, she said. <br />
<br />
At one stage, she said, some of the guards in the jungle camp had taken
her with them to visit a more important trafficker and to treat his
cancer, she said. <br />
<br />
The video of the rape is the first visual evidence of the brutality
inside the jungle camps that survivors, rescued from the camps, have
previously described. <br />
<br />
Activists hope that eventually, the traffickers can be arrested and charged as a result of Saturday's raid on the jungle camp. <br />
<br />
Thousands of Rohingya are reported to have fled Burma - also known as Myanmar - by boat in the past fortnight. <br />
<br />
Observers are puzzled as to whether some have already been deposited in
secret in Thailand or are perhaps taking a more direct route to
Malaysia.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06745295370892673057noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3895375196784593478.post-56211111901310889682014-10-30T14:12:00.000-07:002014-10-30T14:22:06.104-07:00Obama asked to ‘just say their name’<span class=""></span><br />

As Burma prepares to welcome US President Barack Obama to
Naypyidaw in November, human rights groups and activists have been
urging Obama to press Burma’s government to improve the country’s
socio-political environment.<br />
US-based activist organization United to End Genocide (UEG), for example, is making extensive efforts to lobby the president to <a class="" href="https://www.blogger.com/null" style="background-color: #fff7c1; border-radius: 2px; border: 1px solid rgb(247, 226, 94); display: inline; padding: 2px;"><u style="border-bottom: 1px solid;">address</u></a> the plight of the Rohingyas during his visit to Burma.<br />
<br />
As <a class="" href="https://www.blogger.com/null" style="background-color: #fff7c1; border-radius: 2px; border: 1px solid rgb(247, 226, 94); display: inline; padding: 2px;"><u style="border-bottom: 1px solid;">part</u></a>
of its lobbying efforts, UEG has launched a campaign called
#justsaytheirname, which is designed to encourage President Obama to <a class="" href="https://www.blogger.com/null" style="background-color: #fff7c1; border-radius: 2px; border: 1px solid rgb(247, 226, 94); display: inline; padding: 2px;"><u style="border-bottom: 1px solid;">address</u></a> the Rohingya issue and thereby reaffirm their right to self-determination and self-identification.<br />
The NGOs campaign is inspired by UN Special Rapporteur Yanghee Lee’s
recent decision to use the word “Rohingya” in her report on Burma’s
human rights situation—defying pressure from the Burmese government,
which prefers to use the term “Bengalis.”<br />
<b><a href="http://dvb.no/news/un-rapporteur-backtracking-could-undermine-burmas-reforms-burma-myanmar/45489">Ms. Lee presented her report</a></b>
on Burma’s human rights situation in a speech to the UN General
Assembly on 28 October. During the speech, she said: “I am acutely aware
of the sensitivity around the use of the term ‘Rohingya’ that is not
recognised by the [Burmese] government.”<br />
<br />
Lee also pointed out that being forced to identify as “Bengali” was a
violation of their basic rights: “I am concerned about the Rohingyas
being required to identify themselves as ‘Bengali’ and if they do not
they are excluded from the <a class="" href="https://www.blogger.com/null" style="background-color: #fff7c1; border-radius: 2px; border: 1px solid rgb(247, 226, 94); display: inline; padding: 2px;"><u style="border-bottom: 1px solid;">citizenship</u></a> verification process that is being rolled out in Arakan state,” she said.<br />
EUG President Tom Andrews said, “As President Obama prepares to make
his second trip to Burma in November, he should follow the Special
Rapporteur’s lead, speak out against the systematic abuse of the
Rohingya and just say their name when he does so.”<br />
Mr. Andrews then added, “It is more than just a name. It is 1.3
million people being persecuted and a culture in danger of being erased
in Burma.”<br />

Among the many rights denied to Rohingyas in Burma is the right to
self-identification and self-determination, both of which are
fundamental human rights enshrined in international law.<br />
Ever since March 2014, when the Burmese government back-tracked on an earlier policy and <a href="https://www.dvb.no/census/term-rohingya-to-be-struck-from-census-gov-spokesman-burma-myanmar/39125"><b>struck the term “Rohingya” out of census</b></a> list—insisting that the group be referred to as “Bengali” instead—the political conundrum surrounding this issue has escalated.<br />
Subsequently, Presidential Spokesperson Ye Htut said, “It will be
acceptable if they write ‘Bengali’—we won’t accept them as ‘Rohingya’.”<br />
Ms. Lee also pointed out that it was the responsibility of the
Burmese government to preserve the Rohingya community’s rights. “I note
that the right of minorities to self identify is related to the
obligation of the state to ensure non-discrimination against individuals
and groups,” she said.<br />
UEG is also accusing foreign governments of succumbing to pressure
from Naypyidaw on the Rohingya issue, noting that many countries have
avoided using the term “Rohingya” in order to maintain favorable
diplomatic ties with Thein Sein’s government.<br />
UEG’s Tom Andrews said, “Incredibly, governments of the world are
bending to pressure by the Thein Sein government of Burma to no longer
use the term ‘Rohingya’ when referring to the Rohingya ethnic minority.”<br />
<span style="color: red;"><b>“Even Secretary of State John Kerry obliged the government by not
mentioning the Rohingya by their name when he last visited Burma,” he
said.</b></span><br />

<b>A rare, not-to-be-missed documentary!</b><br />
<br />
Here is the gripping, much-talked-about film that first brought '
Britain's Schindler' to world-view - the man who saved 669 Jewish kids
from Nazi camps in Prague, and sent them to Britain. <br />
<br />
Nicholas Winton was a young stockbroker, who visited Czechoslovakia in
1938, saw camps full of Jewish refugees, and " had an intuition" of
dangers ahead. He used his hotel as an office, and immediately started
working on sending Jewish kids abroad.<br />
<br />
He found foster-homes for them in Britain, and organized eight
'Kindertransport' trains to take the children to safety, although most
would never see their parents again. The last train carrying 250
children was ready to leave Prague, when Hitler invaded Poland, and the
train was stopped. No-one saw any of those children again.<br />
<img align="left" class="CToWUd" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/proxy/AVvXsEheB8cWEbwcXS2j3OCV4Dh-k7O6nqYkPKXCi8nMQTW9n-e7L7Vk-yjb_HhSQ9UkdSvipDPoGF-mVRsWPy_EuqpyvSe11LzL4-8ISecVvdXB6Nvz_4MLv-xIk6PqoB7E-pl4np0_KWZxC3TIW_5ETGYD=s0-d-e1-ft" width="250" />What
makes the story more amazing is that Winton told no-one about it, not
even his wife Grete. 50 years later, in 1988, she came across a
scrap-book in the attic full of pictures of the rescued children, with a
list of their names. The story was published for the first time, and
Winton was knighted by Queen Elizabeth, and honoured by the US House of
Representatives.<br />
Meanwhile Jewish-Slovakian Director Matej Minac (who made this
docu-film), used him as a fictional character in his 1999 film 'All my
Loved Ones', not knowing that the real Nicholas Winton was still alive!
That was when he did intensive research on the 'rescued children'
through archives around the world.<br />
This incredible film shows it all. Minac uses archival material,
film-clips, photographs, powerful music, to capture the trauma of the
Jewish families - the tension, and the tears of parting.<br />
<br />
Then he moves forward and meets the 'rescued kids' today, who have their
own children and grand-children, but who have never forgotten their
own, miraculous childhood escapes. Some are famous individuals, like the
narrator, Joe Schlesinger of CBS television, writer Vira Gissing, who
first wrote about Winton, politician Alfred Dubs, and publisher Tom
Schreder.<br />
<br />
A reserved and soft-spoken individual, it is extraordinary to meet Sir
Nicholas Winton himself, at the age of 99 years when the film is made,
with his wife and family. Today he is 105 years old, and still alive!<br />
<br />
<img align="right" class="CToWUd a6T" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/proxy/AVvXsEgzmNH2NtdEk8KOcS0cZ6BCeijqlryXmWgNFchRzRkd1gZ3haHyP0LDyQ1S6RqF9YAb9UCRbyyZB9Y27fOI_dVGwFw-QS8JbSHIh_xvU-i9NXOy-lQ4yMvMWIJLB0kSnV_Kq36NUYBmt8wX-JmfYDYV=s0-d-e1-ft" tabindex="0" width="250" />In
a memorable scene Sir Nicholas Winton meets his 'rescued kids', now
ageing adults, for the first time on the BBC programme 'That's Life ' in
1988, and is reduced to tears. To quote the Director of the film " It
is incredible that all these people live today, due to the heroic deeds
of one man !"<br />
The inspirational documentary is now being used in schools and colleges around the world. <br />
The film has won awards, and has inspired many individuals to help in
children's causes. Director Minac made another film 'Nicky's Family' in
2011, recounting the many people who were inspired by Sir Nicholas
Winton, to take up charity projects in countries as far removed as
Cambodia and Africa. <br />
We are proud to present this rare and outstanding docu-film, that
recounts the amazing achievements of a living individual, who is a
beacon of inspiration to the world around him. At a time of political
turmoil and chaos around the globe, we want to celebrate the 'power of
good' , of one individual, that made a difference to an entire
generation of people. <br />
<br />
Don't miss this rare and outstanding docu-film !<br />

<div class="no-bottom-padding" id="intro-pullout">
<h4>
In November, President Obama will travel to Myanmar to attend the
East Asia Summit, which brings together a broad range of nations from
across the Pacific Rim. It will be the president’s second trip to
Myanmar, following his landmark 2012 trip, which was the first by a
sitting U.S. president to Myanmar since the country gained independence
six decades ago. During the East Asia Summit, Obama almost surely will
hold bilateral meetings with Myanmar President Thein Sein and other
senior Myanmar leaders, including opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi.<span id="more-15298"></span>
</h4>
</div>
The timing of the president’s visit to Myanmar will be important, but
the rosy hue of U.S.-Myanmar relations that colored the president’s
2012 trip has dimmed significantly. This will be Obama’s only visit to
Myanmar before the landmark 2015 national elections, the first truly
contested national elections in Myanmar since 1990, when Suu Kyi’s party
swept parliamentary elections and then the military essentially ignored
the vote and kept control of the country. In the 2015 elections, Suu
Kyi’s National League for Democracy is almost sure to win a sweeping
majority of seats again. However, both foreign diplomats, Myanmar
analysts, and some opposition politicians already are warning that the
2015 elections could be undermined or outright rigged by the military,
to favor the military’s de facto party, the Union Solidarity and
Development Party (USDP). Myanmar political scientists and many foreign
diplomats in Yangon report that the USDP and the military are building
up paramilitary squads that could be used for intimidation on election
day. The potential intimidation could range from distributing cash to
co-opt opposition supporters to purposefully instigating Buddhist-Muslim
violence to show the public that an unstable Myanmar cannot be turned
over to a political opposition with no experience in governing.<br />
In addition, since the high point of Myanmar’s reform process in 2012
and early 2013, the country’s political opening has stalled and, in my
opinion, slid backwards.<br />
<br />
<b>The recent murder of a Myanmar journalist while
in army custody has highlighted the regression of the country’s media
environment since 2012 and 2013. Although the online and print media in
Myanmar remains far freer than it ever was under junta rule, journalists
are once again being harassed, detained, tried—and apparently,
murdered—by the military and police. </b><span style="color: red;">In addition, journalists who dare
the cover the <a href="http://blogs.cfr.org/asia/2014/03/31/total-breakdown-in-myanmars-arakan-state/">conflict in western Myanmar’s Arakan State</a>,
where violence against Rohingya Muslims continues unabated, face severe
threat from Buddhist paramilitary groups and their supporters.</span><br />
<br />
The deteriorating media environment is not the only sign of Myanmar’s
backsliding. Cease-fires between the government and several ethnic
minority insurgencies are collapsing, with the insurgents and the army
preparing for war again. <span style="color: red;"><b>Arakan State remains a humanitarian emergency,
and Thein Sein’s government has taken few constructive measures to help
restore order and rights in Arakan State. The government initially
simply denied the violence in Arakan State, pretending that massacres of
Rohingya had not happened and tossing foreign aid groups out of Arakan
State. Now, the Thein Sein government has come up with a plan for the
Rohingya that is unworkable and simply racist: It wants the Rohingya to
identify themselves as “Bengali” if they want to be granted Myanmar
citizenship. If they do not accept this identification, the government
plans to toss more Rohingya into detention camps. (A previous, military
government stripped the Rohingya of their citizenship, though many of
them had lived in Myanmar for generations.) But self-identifying as
Bengali is akin to Rohingya marking themselves as foreigners, since to
them—and to other Burmese—the term Bengali suggests that they are not
indeed from Myanmar, came to Myanmar illegally, and thus can be
discriminated against.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Rohingya have few options. The NGO Arakan Project recently reported
that over 100,000 Rohingya have fled Myanmar in the past two years, with
many dying at sea or finding themselves at the mercy of pirates, the
ruthless Thai navy, and a human slavery trade that runs through
Thailand.</b></span><br />
<br />
Obama thus should use his time in Myanmar to highlight to Naypyidaw
that, although the Obama administration has made rapprochement with
Myanmar a major goal of its Asia policy, rapprochement increasingly
depends on continued political reform in Myanmar. A rigged 2015
election, Obama should warn Naypyidaw, would immediately undermine
U.S.-Myanmar relations, and a return to all-out war with ethnic
insurgencies also should be a serious impediment to closer ties.
Finally, Obama should make clear that the Thein Sein government’s
proposed plan for the Rohingya is unsatisfactory and outright racist.<br />
In my next post, I will look at how, despite its rich natural
resources and large, untapped consumer market, Myanmar has thus far
proven relatively unattractive for U.S. companies. As an <a href="http://online.wsj.com/articles/colgate-buys-myanmar-toothpaste-brand-1414510599" target="_blank">article in the Wall Street Journal noted</a>,
despite the relaxation of U.S. sanctions on Myanmar, as of August 2014
U.S. companies have committed less than $250 million to investments in
the country of fifty million people, a minuscule amount for a market the
size of Myanmar.<br />

A Bangkok court has dismissed a defamation charge against a British
human rights worker, who is being sued after alleging labour abuses in
Thailand’s tinned fruit industry.<br />

The court ruled that the prosecution of Andy Hall was unlawful
because the police acted alone and not in partnership with the attorney
general, as required for offences committed outside the country.<br />
The
case related to an interview Mr Hall gave to Al Jazeera in Burma last
year. Natural Fruit Company launched the legal action against Mr Hall
following his research into the firm, which detailed trafficking of
migrant workers, child labour, forced overtime and violence against
staff.<br />
Mr Hall, who turns 35 today, still faces three more
criminal and civil defamation cases brought by the Natural Fruit
Company, which exports tinned pineapple and juice. If found guilty, he
could face up to seven years in prison and be forced to pay millions of
pounds in damages. The second, a $10m (£6m) civil defamation case,
begins today.<br />
Mr Hall said: “I always felt confident that I would
win my case. I don’t feel I did anything wrong. I feel it’s my duty to
protect migrant workers and I never had any doubt,” he told The
Independent.<br />
Phil Robertson, a Thailand spokesman for Human Rights
Watch, said the case “leaves a chilling effect on others wishing to
investigate corporate rights-abusing behaviour in Thailand”.<br />

questions they have related to the topic <a href="mailto:toipn@ipnthailand.com" target="_blank">toipn@ipnthailand.com</a> to be answered during the Q&A session.<br />
<br />
Does your child have trouble with spellings? Reading? Can't seem to work with numbers or sit still in class? <br />
<br />
If yes, then there is absolutely no need to panic. It probably just means that he or she simply has a different learning style.<br />
<br />
Every child has a different way of learning and understanding your child's own learning style can help assure academic success.<br />
<br />
IPN's talk this month will discuss how theory of multiple intelligence can point out your child's strengths and weaknesses.<br />
<br />
During this talk, our guest speaker Jason Perkins, IB Coordinator at St. Andrews International School, will discuss:<br />
What is an Intelligence?<br />
<div>
<br />
<li>Differences between Learning Styles and Multiple Intelligence</li>
<br />
<br />
<li>How to investigate our own Learning Styles</li>
<br />
<br />
<li>Understanding the traditional view of Intelligence and IQ testing</li>
<br />
<br />
<li>Fun activities that combines Multiple Intelligences</li>

The
professional membership of the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Thailand
is disturbed to learn of the death of Aung Kyaw Naing, or Par Gyi, a
49-year-old freelance reporter in Myanmar's troubled eastern border
states, who contributed to The Voice, a local publication, as well as to
newspapers in Yangon.<br />
<br />
According to press reports, Aung Kyaw Naing was detained on September
30. He was shot dead by a guard, allegedly after attempting to seize a
gun and running away on the evening of October 4. He was being detained
at the time by Light Infantry Battalion 208 at Kyaikmayaw in Mon State.<br />
<br />
A statement attributed to the military in Myanmar has alleged that Aung
Kyaw Naing was also working with ethnic Karen insurgents, but this has
been disputed by Karen sources.<br />
<br />
The circumstances of Aung Kyaw Naing's killing clearly demand a full and
proper investigation. His family's wishes that his body be returned
should also be respected.<div>

Record numbers of Muslim Rohingya flee western Myanmar after government launches crackdown.
</h2>
<b>World Bulletin/News Desk</b><br />
Unprecedented numbers of Muslim Rohingya have been leaving Myanmar on
boats for Thailand and Malaysia following a campaign of arrests, a
leading NGO said Friday.<br />
<span style="color: red;"><b>"In one week we have seen 8,000 Rohingya leaving northern Rakhine
state -- the amount of people who left the region for the whole of
2013," Chris Lewa, head of the Arakan Project, told Anadolu Agency. </b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><b>Last week’s flight is believed to be the largest since violence
erupted between the Rohingya minority and Buddhists in western Myanmar
two years ago.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><b>
</b></span><span style="color: red;"><b>"Myanmar police let the boats come to the estuary of the Naf river in
daylight and have even stopped asking for money from the Rohingya
before they embark," Lewa added, referring to the water frontier between
Myanmar and Bangladesh. "It looks as if it is planned."</b></span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><b>
</b></span><span style="color: red;"><b>While the number of Rohingya escaping persecution in Myanmar
increases every year as the rainy season comes to an end, there are
other factors that explain the unusually large exodus this year, she
said.</b></span><br />
<br />
Citing a recent series of arrests of community and religious leaders
by local authorities, Lewa claimed some had died under torture, which
had "provoked a sort of panic."<br />
The project believes the government may be using a recent al-Qaeda
announcement of a new South Asian branch as a "pretext" for a crackdown
on the Rohingya.<br />
In the video, al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri heralded the
development as "good news" for Muslims in Myanmar "where they would be
rescued from injustice and oppression."<br />
Since 2012, 200 people -- mostly Rohingya -- have been killed and
140,000 made homeless. Tens of thousands of Muslims have paid large
amounts of money to smugglers to flee on cramped boats in the hope of
finding work in Thailand, Malaysia or Australia.<br />
In southern Thailand, some fall prey to human traffickers and corrupt local officials.<br />
<b>The latest influx to southern Thailand comes as a shocking video
purportedly shows the brutality inflicted on Rohingya refugees in
trafficking camps.</b><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b>The footage, currently being examined by Thai immigration police,
appears to show two men raping a Rohingya woman in a jungle camp in the
country’s south.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b>
</b></span><span style="color: blue;"><b>"If the video is authenticated, it may be the first real evidence of
the brutal treatment of captives in the secret camps run by human
traffickers in the jungles of southern Thailand," the Phuketwan news
website reported Thursday.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><b>Lewa, who has interviewed hundreds of Rohingya in southern Thailand,
was cautious about the clip but added: "We know that the people who
cannot pay the sums asked by the traffickers are the object of
violence."</b></span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><b>
</b></span><span style="color: red;"><b>In the past, survivors from traffickers’ camps have shared testimony
that violence, rapes and killings were a way of extracting ransom
payments from victims’ families.</b></span><br />
The Myanmar government refuses to grant the Rohingya citizenship, claiming they are illegal immigrants from Bangladesh.<br />
