Press Release: How Long You Lie To Deny Rohingya Existence
Press release 15 October 2017
We strongly condemn the remarks of Myanmar Senior Gen. Min Aung Hlaing to American Ambassador Scot Marciel.
On 11 October the General said, “Rohingya are Bengali. The Bengalis were not taken into the country by Myanmar but by the colonialists. British colonialists were responsible for the problem. Their native place is really Bengal. They might have fled to the other country (Bangladesh) with the same language, race and culture as theirs, assuming they would be safer there. They are not the natives and the records prove that they were not even called Rohingya but just Bengalis during the colonial period.”
Press Release: Repatriation proposal is trickery, Myanmar authorities are not trustworthy
Press release 5 October 2017
During recent weeks more than half a million Rohingya refugees have taken refuge in Bangladesh due to genocide by Suu Kyi-army regime in Myanmar.
The governments of Bangladesh and Myanmar agreed, on 2nd October, to work on a repatriation plan. State Counsellor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi said that verified refugees will be accepted. But the question is how the terrified and traumatized refugees would be repatriated to Arakan/Rakhine State where they experienced, witnessed and fled the genocidal brutality of Myanmar troops, Rakhine terrorists and other vigilantes. Despite assurance by the Myanmar government the violence and brutality continue. There were arson attacks on Quarter No.5 of Maungdaw town even today.
Press Release: Aung San Suu Kyi’s disingenuous speech fails to address Rohingya genocide
Press release 21 September 2017
The Rohingya people are outraged by the highly contentious and ambiguous speech of the Myanmar State Counsellor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi delivered before the diplomatic community on 19 September in Naypyidaw. She made numerous disingenuous excuses that fail to address the crisis, the untold sufferings of the Rohingya people, that the U.N stated a “textbook case of ethnic cleansing.”

UNHCR appeals for dialogue, confidence-building following recent IDP violence in Myanmar
Report from UN High Commissioner for Refugees
This is a summary of what was said by the UNHCR spokesperson at today’s Palais des Nations press briefing in Geneva.
Violent clashes between displaced Muslims and security forces in Myanmar’s Rakhine state last Friday have left one man dead and about 10 people injured.

Statement of ARNO on the paper The Rohingya and Rakhaing by Dr. Aye Kyaw
1. We express our serious concern about Dr. Aye Kayw’s paper, “The Rohingya and Rakhaing. Even the right-minded Rakhaings feel concerned about his deep hatred towards Rohingya. His definition of the name “Rohingya” is his own making, which has neither a link with a meaning to Bengali literature nor to Rakhaing language.
Statement of ARNO on the 19th anniversary of 8/8/1988
08 August 2007
Today marks a historical landmark for the democracy movement in Burma. 19 years ago, on 8th August 1988 the countrywide uprising occurred to protest against human rights abuses and autocratic rule. It is a movement demanding democracy, respect for human rights and freedoms in Burma. On the other hand, it is a demonstration of popular disgust at the military rule or one party dictatorship. In response to this peaceful demonstration, the military started a massacre killing at least 10,000 people across the country.
Statement of the Arakan-Burma Research Institute
The prolonged military rule in Burma has worsened human rights situation leading to the exodus of hundreds of thousands of minorities, especially the Rohingya Muslims, who have been declared ‘stateless’ with the 1982 Citizenship Act. Many of these refugees now live in various parts of the world, including Japan.
