CHINA NOW SPEAKS UP…
In this Buddhist country, monks enjoy a high social status. But their sense of xenophobia is also strong, especially in face of the Muslims which account for less than 10 percent of the total population.
Myanmar has witnessed several instances of bloodshed in recent years. The conflict between monks and the IslamistRohingya people in Rakhine State last year caused hundreds of deaths and left tens of thousands of Rohingya people homeless.
This March, Myanmar’s central city Meiktila also saw a violent confrontation between monks and Muslims. Raging monks set fire to five mosques and several Islamist communities.
Sittwe, the capital of Arakan State in Western Burma has succeeded in virtually ‘Muslims-Free Street’ ever since the sectarian violence turned to be a massacre against Muslims took place in 2012. From busy market to quiet alley, Muslims have been wiped out to be seen nowhere. Yet they are found either IDPs Camp on the outskirt of Sittwe, or the last Muslims quarter of the city named Aung Mingalar.
“The fear that I felt during this incident, being left totally unprotected by the nearby police, gave me an insight into the fear residents would have felt when being chased down by violent mobs during the violence last March,” he told reporters amid tight security at Yangon airport at the end of his 10 day visit to the country.
YANGON, Myanmar – FOX NEWS…Myanmar said a U.N. human rights envoy was well-protected during a visit to a city wracked by religious violence, brushing off his claims that police did nothing as a 200-strong Buddhist mob descended on his car, kicking the windows and doors and shouting abuses.
President Thein Sein‘s spokesman, Ye Htut, said Thursday that U.N. rights rapporteur Tomas Ojea Quintana was never in any danger.
The Burmese government has exhibited an “unacceptable measure of support” for a systematic campaign of violence against the country’s Muslim minority, which could lead to genocide if left unchecked, a new report warned on Tuesday.
The study by the New York-basedPhysicians for Human Rights (PHR) documents “consistent” patterns of abuses against Burmese Muslims, including widespread Islamophobia and hate speech fuelled by government acquiescence and a culture of legal impunity, which could lead to mass atrocities.
BANGKOK — A U.N. envoy, on an official trip to Burma, has told reporters his convoy came under attack this week by a Buddhist mob and authorities did not protect him.
U.N. human-rights envoy Tomas Ojea Quintana recounted how a crowd of about 200 people punched and kicked the windows and doors of his car while shouting abuse at him Monday in Meiktila, in central Burma.
Speaking to reporters just before departing the country after a 10-day visit, Quintana said the state had an obligation to protect him.
After putting the TRUTH Statement as cover picture, I am reported by the Racist Myanmar Military affiliated cyber-troopers. FB authorities act automatically without knowing that I AM JUST WRITING THE TRUTH.
Never mind I would not delete this cover pic for some time even if FB block or punish me.
Just look, on our Eid day, Myanmar Uniformed troops shoot and killed nearly half a dozen Rohingyas with a flimsy lame excuse.
Daw Suu, “Is this Rule of Law?” It is clearly Rule BY Law of Racism when most of the victims are Muslims and most of the sentences were given to Muslims.
Shame on the President U Thein Sein led government for PERSECUTION of Victim Muslims.
Four Muslim men have been jailed for murder following religious violence in central Myanmar in March that left dozens dead, an official said on Wednesday.
If U Then Sein is the President of WHOLE Myanmar and all the citizens of Myanmar…
If he could talked about the death of 4 Buddhists and 2 Rohingyas (I don’t think he cares about 2 Muslim Rohingyas) …it is pathetic and shameful for him.
Where is he when 10,000 Muslims in Rakhine, 10 Muslims in Taungope and 400 Muslims in Meikhtila were MASSACRED ?
CRIMINAL RACIST SOB Wira Thu brain-washing and INCITING the monks with hate speech. Advising them to cut off the male organ of Muslims who took the Bama (Buddhist) wives….
Actually elder monks from Thanga Nayaka should consider this on the monks who were caught sex with their tagar ma..s. But as Wira Thu was said to be a gay even known as a honey girl while he was in the jail it may be useless for him.
