In the 6th year, when thousands of Rohingya Muslims (Rohingya) were forced to leave their homes and countries due to the massacres of civilians by the army in Myanmar, Rohingya Muslims want to return to their homes.
On August 25, 2017, hundreds of villages were destroyed by mass acts of violence by the Myanmar army and Buddhist nationalists.
While these acts of violence were called "ethnic cleansing" by the United Nations (UN) and various international human rights organizations, more than 900,000 Rohingya Muslims had to take shelter in Bangladesh.
Kyaw Win, Director of the Burma Human Rights Network (BHRN), answered the questions of an AA correspondent on the 6th anniversary of the Rohingya Muslims fleeing Myanmar.
Win made evaluations about the problems that Rohingya Muslims face in refugee camps and the support they receive from the world.
"Muslims from Arakan are treated as orphans by the world"
Stating that the efforts of the Myanmar army to deport, deprive and isolate Muslims have increased since the acts of violence against Rohingya Muslims, Win underlined that the Rohingyas are one of the six Muslim ethnic groups in Myanmar and they all share the same fate.
Emphasizing that Rohingya Muslims are stuck in refugee camps, Win said, "The campaign against Rohingya Muslims has now become a campaign against all Muslims."
Expressing that the citizenship of Muslims in Myanmar has been revoked, Win said, "They are prohibited from traveling freely and are the victims of online hate speech designed to incite violence against them."
Win stated that all the tactics used by the Myanmar army before the “genocide” still continue.
"It is crucial that the world accept this and develop a plan for how to prevent another genocide," Win added.
