Rohingya Refugees Shifted to Medan

As many as 129 Rohingya refugees from Burma were moved on Wednesday from Aceh to Medan.

The refugees, who had been rescued by Acehnese fishermen after being stranded at sea for days, are awaiting confirmation of their status from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.

Wilmar Sayuti, head of the immigration office in Banda Aceh, told the Jakarta Globe the transfer of the Rohingyas had been carried out on the instructions of the Directorate General of Immigration because their transit shelter at the Malahayati seaport in Krueng Raya, Aceh Besar, had been deemed unsuitable.

‘They all have a common view that nothing has changed’


Ben Rogers is the author of ‘Than Shwe – Unmasking Burma’s Tyrant’. He recently visited Burma for a week on a tourist visa but was subsequently deported by the Burmese authorities. He works for Christian Solidarity Worldwide. Mizzima interviewed him about his deportation, his experience in Burma before he was deported, and his book on Than Shwe.

Question: Tell us about what had happened in the process of deportation?

Answer:  What happened was around 11 p.m. on Tuesday, I had finished my activities for the day and I was sitting in a hotel bar, there was some music playing, and I was just relaxing for a few minutes before going to bed.  Somebody came to inform me that the authorities wanted to talk to me.  They said that the authorities were waiting in my room. So I went up to my room and there were six people outside the room.








They said they were from immigration but my suspicion is that they were Military Intelligence (MI) because they were not in any uniform, and they didn’t seem like immigration officers. And I think it’s unlikely that immigration officials would come at 11 at night. So, my feeling is that they were intelligence people. They were perfectly civil and they treated me well the whole way through. When I arrived at my room, we sat down and the first thing they said to me was, ‘We have instructions from Naypyidaw to deport you tomorrow’.

New ID card policy could hit Rohingya asylum-seekers


New ID card will make it even harder for Rohingya men to get work
DHAKA, 29 March 2011 (IRIN) - The introduction of national ID cards may lead to further institutionalized discrimination of Burmese Rohingya asylum-seekers (unregistered refugees) living in southeastern Bangladesh, experts warn.

A report by US-based NGO Refugees International to be released next month is expected to highlight how lack of access to public services and gainful employment for non-ID card holders will contribute to severe food insecurity for the Rohingyas.

Joint Press Release: Concern on Narinjara’s concocted news linking Rohingyas with Taliban

PRESS RELEASE
24th March 2011

Concern on Narinjara’s concocted news linking Rohingyas with Taliban

We, the undersigned Rohingya organisations, strongly condemn the Narinjara News Agency for its disinformation of describing the innocent Rohigya people as suspected Talibans.

According to a pre-plan to extort money from the Rohingyas, the Nasaka collaborators informed the Nasaka of the area that some insurgents had entered in North Maungdaw and held a meeting with people in Kamaung Seik village (Fokira Bazar) whereupon, taking advantage of opportunities and circumstances, the Nasaka started arresting and torturing the innocent villagers arbitrarily. So far, about 50 innocent Rohingya villagers were arrested under false and concocted allegation of having link with insurgents which Narinjara fabricated as Talibans in its news on 20 March, 2011. It has exaggerated news giving cry wolf mentioning the name of one imaginary Taliban Maulvi Harun as imparting combat and bomb making training to the villagers in the jungles. It further concocted that a seal and documents, which identified them as members of the Taliban, were seized. According to Irrawaddy news of March 22, 2011, the Narinjara editor Khaing Mrat Kyaw said, “Nasaka told us about Maulvi Harun, who entered the country from Bangladesh and had given training.” It hints his involvement in the plan of the Nasaka against the innocent Rohingya villagers.

Monday, 21 March 2011 14:04
