HRW has never commented positively about Buddhist Burma. HRW is spreading hatred against Buddhist Burma. The Islamic terrorist group the ARSA has burnt down the Bengali villages and Buddhist villages, for to blame Buddhist Rakhine villagers and Burmese security force.
The Burmese Government’s cleaning land those burnt down villages for to rebuild homes for returnees Bengali villagers from Bangladesh. The Government is no cleaning the cemetery area where the AP and the UN had accused Burmese Army for massacred Bengalis and buried in five graves.
Do HRW and the UN have any evidence about genocide committed by Burmese Army?
There I found the story title with a GU Dar Pyin massacre in Wikipedia and other media reporting the AP reporter has uncovered 5 mass graves of Rohingya in GU Dar Pyin village. The story was distributed by the AP as well as based on Ms. Yanghee Lee interviews with a Bengali man in the Refugee Camp. However, the GU Dar Pyin Village’s Head and the villagers said that has never occurred in their Village.
Only a few incidents have happened in Rakhine state but the Military and Government have taken action against anyone who committed crime.
There are many made up stories in the Refugee Camps for to get asylum in Western Countries and money from reporters. The reporters, HRW, NGO and the UNHCR staffs are encouraging refugees to lie and tell fabricated story about how they escape from Buddhists and Burmese soldiers.
The foreign reporters failed to report about 30 Buddhist families have fled to Burma from Chittagong Hill Tracts and 20 families were caught and arrested by Bangladeshi Police and only 10 families successful escaped to Rakhine State. The Buddhists have fled to Rakhine State, Burma because of threatening their lives by the Bengali settlers and Bangladeshi soldiers. Also, the Buddhist Marmar (Myanmar) sisters 18 and 13 were gang raped by a group of Bangladeshi soldiers on 22nd January in their home in Chittagong Hill Tracts and the sisters were serious injured and treated at Rangamati General Hospital. No foreign reporters have reported such as news because of the victims was Buddhist. They reporters will inflate the story if the victims were Muslims.
Where’s the fairness? Something is going on here. The Buddhists have lost voice because they journalists, the UN and NGOs organizations like HRW have deliberately discriminated against Buddhists.
Phil Robertson (HRW) is only looking for opportunities to promote negative images of Buddhist Burma and Burmese Government.
I was wondering about why Phil Roberson was so anti-Buddhists and pro-Muslims activist regardless of his official title.
The UNHCR, the OIC and organizations like the HRW are trying to stop Bengali Muslims go back to Burma and the wanted to create the UN monitor a Safe Zone for illegal immigrant Bengali Muslims in northern Rakhine State.
I want to let him (Phil Robertson) know, we Buddhists are not evils or murderers, but the Bengali Muslims are an aggressive one and the Bengali Muslim men kidnapped, raped and killed Buddhist ethnic women and men far before 2012 communal riot in Rakhine State, Burma. Only a few crimes committed by Bengali Muslims were caught and most of the criminals were getting away with their crimes because they fled to Bangladesh.
Also, armed Bengali Muslim groups used to rob Buddhist farmers’ paddy crop when the crop was ready to harvest. The Buddhist paddy farmers were so afraid to confront the Bengali Muslims crop raiders. Also the Burmese Police did not protect them because the Police do not have enough Police officers. The Bengali Muslims do not care about Police even the Police officers come. The Bengali Muslims are majority in Northern Rakhine State and the population of 1.2 million as HRW said. Bengali men and women go back to Bangladesh and married and brought back their spouses to Rakhine state and they become Rohingya. The Bengali Muslim population is exploding like Popcorn in the pan.
Former Burmese Governments and Junta have failed to secure the border with Bangladesh and also, the corrupt immigration officers have contributed in illegal immigrant Bengali peoples moved to township like Buthitaung and Maungdaw Township. The Bengali Muslim is not minority in northern Rakhine state.
HRW failed to denounce the Islamic terrorist group the ARSA was obviously HRW is supporting the ARSA’s terrorist activity as the OIC did. I do not blame Buddhist Burmese peoples opposing and distrusting against the HRW in Burma.
Also the Burmese Military and Burmese Government must practice more transparency and allow foreign journalists to travel to Rakhine State and other ethnic minority States to collect news regardless of media manipulation by foreign journalists. The Military must allow the Journalists go to collect information they need to report. If the Government was worried about media manipulation and then send the Government’s officer with Video recorder and record everything on the journalist’s interviewing with local peoples. If the journalist has reported misinformations about what they actually interview peoples and then releases its own Video for to rebut journalist fraudulence report.
The Burmese Government and Buddhist Burmese peoples do not need to care and anger about what HRW tireless hounding against Buddhist Burma. Burmese Government has more important thing to do for peace and reconciliation with Burmese ethnic minority peoples.
The HRW, the UN and foreign journalist spreading misinformation about Rakhine State is creating hatred between Buddhist ethnics and illegal immigrants Bengali Muslims in Rakhine State and across Burma. They will never win over Burma and Buddhist Burmese by spreading misinformation and rumors.
The Rakhine crisis is very sad and very unfortunate incident created by the OIC, the ARSA, the UN and NGOs and journalists. Many families have lost their love one and also, they lost homes. Some illegal settler Bengali Muslims will never able to come back.
The sanction against Burma won’t work and will only create more hatred and divide between Buddhists and Muslims in Burma.
The sanction base on fabricated story and false allegation reported by the AP and the UN OHCHR against the Burmese Military and individual sanction against senior Military officers will make them hero and popular at home. Nothing will gain from that.
The sanction against Burma won’t work and will only create more hatred and divide between Buddhists and Muslims in Burma.
