New Delhi (Mizzima) – Following a deadly attack on Rohingya refugees, a UK-based Rohingya organization on Thursday called on the Bangladesh government to impose more laws to protect the lives of Rohingya in Bangladesh.
Villagers from Fawliyapara Village in Cox’s Bazzar in Bangladesh on July 16 attacked Rohingya refugees in Kutupalong camp; one refugee was killed and more than 20 were injured.
The Burmese Rohingya Organisation UK (Brouk) urged the Bangladesh government to do more to protect Rohingya.
“The residents always bully Rohingya. They usually seize the things sold by Rohingya, and they beat Rohingya occasionally. We want the government to effectively protect them from being bullied by residents,” Tun Khin, the chairman of Brouk, told Mizzima.
According to Voice of America, on 19th July, Maj Gen Aung Than Tut, Director of Bureau of Special Operations #2 which oversees all Burma Army units in Shan State, was said to have given inhumane instruction to his troops in Murng Nawng, Shan State, to kill all males and rape all females during their operation against the Shan State Army (SSA).
On 20th July, in relation to the upcoming final assault on the Shan State Army (SSA) North’s Wan Hai base in Kehsi township, Shan Herald Agency for News reported that orders have been issued to the Burmese troops that, “If they are E-ja-kway (Chinese Youzhagui, deep-fried twisted dough sticks), get rid of them,” one source quoted an officer as saying. “If they are Samoosa (Indian-samosa, fried stuffed pastry), eat them.”
E-ja-kway means male, and Samoosa means female, according to the source.
Tai Freedom website reported yesterday that on 15 July, Maj. Gen Aung Than Htut, Chief of Bureau of Special Operation 2 which oversees all regional commands in Shan State and Karenni State summoned his all commanders concerned to meet him in Murng Nawng Sub-township. In the meeting, the commanders were told “to kill all men, rape all women and burn down every village”.
WASHINGTON: The US House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly on Wednesday to renew for one year a ban on imports from Myanmar over alleged human rights abuses by its military rulers.

The new military-backed namesake civilian government of Burma faces a no-win situation to acquire ASEAN’s backing for the 2014 chairmanship. If ASEAN acknowledged Burma as chairman of the group, it would definitely dishonor the name of the regional association. Burma, under the former military junta, missed its turn as chair of ASEAN in 2006 because of strong international objections led by Western countries.
In August 2004, activists in ASEAN countries launched an international campaign calling for Burma to be disqualified from chairing the regional bloc in 2006, saying it would affects the grouping’s credibility and reputation.
Burmese democracy activist Aung San Suu Kyi led hundreds of supporters through the streets of Rangoon in a Martyr's Day march Tuesday to honor her father and other fallen national heroes.

Immediate Release
We, members of FRC are extremely shocked and frustrated for reading the news about Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh as they were attacked by some (100) local goons which caused one death and more than (20) have been injured in recent days.
We entirely condemn to all concern parties who are behind the plot and Bangladeshi news media which published the falsify news over the incidence as an attempt to hide the reality.
Indeed the attack is to deem as preplanned and village administrative member, namely Bakkar and some security forces from Ukhiya police station were involved in it. We say it is just killing, murder and intentional offensive.

LONDON — Even as a senior Burmese diplomat in Washington has defected, Burmese prodemocracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi has suggested that some people, both at home and abroad, have deceived themselves into thinking a new government has brought change to her country.
Political dynamic is undergoing a slow transformation in Burma (aka Myanmar) and the neighboring states are being forced to respond accordingly. Indian External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna was in Yangon last month to engage the new civilian government which came to office in March. His visit came a year after the visit of Myanmar's reclusive military leader, Gen. Than Shwe, who heads the State Peace and Development Council, to India, which rolled out a red carpet for him and signed a raft of pacts including treaties on mutual legal assistance in criminal matters, counter terrorism, development projects, science and technology and information cooperation.

An Appeal on Humanitarian Ground:
“Safe and Protect Rohingya Refugee in Bangladesh”

New Delhi (Mizzima) – The Burmese National League for Democracy party–claiming freedom of association is a universal human right–plans to take its legal status case to the United Nations Council of Human Rights (UNCHR).
According to the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, freedom of association and organization is a universally recognized human right. However, the NLD has been threatened by the new government, which has called it an illegal organization. The NLD plans to submit its case within two weeks.
“According to these procedures, the case can be presented to the UNCHR when all the domestic legal remedies are exhausted in a certain country,” NLD spokesman and lawyer Nyan Win told Mizzima.
