UNHCR granted access to Rohingya refugees
BANGKOK – The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) said Wednesday it had permission from Thailand to access some 850 people, many thought to be from Myanmar’s Rohingya minority, held after raids on hidden camps in Thailand’s far South.
Hundreds of migrants have been arrested in the past week in police sweeps on remote areas in rubber plantations in Songkhla province near the border with Malaysia, leading the UNHCR to seek to confirm whether any of them plan to seek asylum.
“The Thai authorities have agreed in principle to give us access to this group,” Vivian Tan, spokeswoman for the UNHCR office, told AFP.
A Rohingya boy’s escape story
NARATHIWAT _ He was 10 years old, but Rohingya Nu Rahasim decided to set a journey to the sea for a better life after his parents were killed by Myanmar soldiers.
The migrant, his fate now in the hands of Thai officials and international diplomats, was one of 139 Rohingya rounded up in Songkhla’s Sadao district on Sunday, the third group arrested in the district in less than a week.
On Tuesday, he and 17 other Rohingya aged 9-12 were sent to a children and family emergency home in Narathiwat’s Muang district for temporary stay, pending police investigation.
PRESS RELEASE: UN intervention is most urgent to protect the Rohingya
ARAKAN ROHINGYA NATIONAL ORGANISATION
ARAKAN, BURMA
(14 January 2013)
After June 2012 deadly violence in Arakan, the human rights situation of the Rohingya has become more deteriorating with story of “dead and dying”. Campaigns of genocide and extermination against them are carried out day in, day out. Rape, murder, arbitrary arrest, looting, extortion, criminal atrocities, hunger and diseases are persistent and widespread. Their burned down and depopulated villages are being populated with Buddhist settlers warmly invited from within and from Bangladesh. These are the main ‘push factors’ that cause the migration of Rohingya to neighbouring countries for which the Burmese government and Rakhine Nationalities Development Party (RNDP) with Dr. Aye Maung are fully responsible.
Fleeing Rohingya at the mercy of a smuggling network greased by graft
Members of the ethnic minority arriving from Myanmar and Bangladesh in hope of better lives enter a tangled human trafficking web in Thailand, where local officials, complicitous members of their own group and fixers make them pay dearly for their dreams
For desperate Rohingya arrested in Thai territory, hope for the future can rest simply with how much money they have to pay off local officials and human traffickers. The prospects are dire for those without the required cash _ being sold into slavery is commonplace.
Hope Floats: Rohingya risks all on boat for better life
An immigrant from Myanmar smuggled in by sea tells of his journey, and why he had to flee his tumultuous homeland
Two months ago, Yub, a 28-year-old Rohingya man, slipped quietly into Thailand after he paid 400,000 kyat (142,000 baht) to a human trafficker to take him out of Myanmar’s violence-plagued Rakhine state.

Waiting For Hope
A Look At The Blockades’ Affects
(part of The Darkness Visible series)
In Burma the blockades still stand. Living testaments to the savagery of a government dedicated to the annihilation of the Rohingya, the police and military still hold back much needed food, water, and medicines. This incredibly disturbing method of warfare is dead set on starving the Rohingya out of existence. And yet for the past few months I have been unable to pinpoint where and how this method was being used.
The ICC: Protection for the Rohingya?
Posted on January 6, 2013 by iclrmp
Written by: Regina Paulose
In November 2012, the Office of the Prosecutor (OTP) of the ICC released its Report on Preliminary Examination Activities 2012, which examines situations in various countries for acts which could potentially amount to crimes against humanity and/or war crimes. Some of the countries mentioned in this report are North Korea, Columbia, and Afghanistan.[1] While one could question some of the cases the OTP is currently investigating,[2] this author takes the position that there are other atrocious human rights situations which need the immediate attention of the ICC. In particular, the OTP should begin to make efforts to investigate and address the continued persecution and abuse of the Rohingya population in Burma.[3]
