Press release: SAVE THE ROHINGYA WOMEN AND GIRLS

On behalf of the Rohingya Muslim community, ARNO expresses shock, sorrow and condemns in the strongest possible terms the rape of at least 32 Rohingya women by the Myanmar military and Border Guard Police in Kyan Taung, Buthidaung Township, Rakhine/Arakan state.
Once again we are forced to watch helplessly the gruesome acts of sexual violence perpetuated by the government forces against our women and girls, in the name of fighting terrorists. Our deepest sympathies are with these brave women, and their families, whose only crime is they were born a Muslim in this country.

Arakan Rohingya National Organisation (ARNO) is strongly opposed to the government’s pretension and lack of honesty, and rejects the 13-member investigation commission formed on 1 December, inter alia, for the following reasons:
1. The military and police crackdown on innocent Rohingya civilian population in Northern Arakan since 9 October is state sponsored.

Rohingyas face long-term misery in IDP camps
Report from European Commission Humanitarian Aid department
Sittwe, January 2013: Standing amongst heaps of woven bamboo panels and corrugated iron sheets, Abdul oversees more than 20 fellow Rohingya workers building over a dozen barrack-type shelters, each to house ten families displaced by the recent inter-communal fighting. “I used to work for a European NGO”, Abdul explains. ”So I am using my skills to work with contractors who have been tasked to build these shelters. This way my people have at least a roof over their heads”.
1,600 families have found shelter in this camp called “Say Tha Mar Gyi”, located about 8 km north-west of Sittwe, the Rakhine State capital. Here the construction of the barrack-type temporary shelters is just one of the activities underway. Latrines have been constructed, water bore-holes installed. Others, such as Abdul and his four children have found shelter with host families in Rohingya villages nearby, which survived the devastating communal violence between Rakhine and Rohingya communities.Rohingya Library
