UN Warning: Ethnic Purge in Myanmar Has No Stop

In a speech to the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva, Zeid Raıd al-Hussein denounced “brutal security operation” against the state of Rakhin, which he said was of “unprouded” to the rebel attacks committed last month, the “The Guardian<5> reported, Periscope broadcast.

More than 270,000 people have fled to Bangladesh in recent weeks, and many stuck at the border between village burns and numerous extra-trial killings.

“I call on the government to end its current military operation, ask for responsibility for all violations that have occurred and to change the pattern of widespread discrimination against the Ringya”, Zeid said.

“The situation seems an example of schoolbooks for ethnic cleansing”, he added.

On Sunday, Bangladesh's foreign minister accused the Burma government of carrying out “genocide” against Rochya.

India also increased pressure on Myanmar, calling on authorities to show restraint, as Delhi expressed its plan to return 40,000 Ringya refugees.

Violence was triggered on August 25th, when a militant group Ringya attacked police where 12 people were killed.

Military groups, local security forces, and Burma's army responded with <x0-doperations Purge” that forced tens of thousands to take their way to Bangladesh.

The international community is saying it is a genocide. We also say it is a genocide”, Ali told reporters in Dhaka.

He said the influx of refugees last month received the total number of Rohingaya in Bangladesh for more than 700,000. “Now is a national problem”, he said.

Ali said that about 10,000 houses had been burned in the state of Rakhine, a figure that cannot be accurately verified since Myanmar has restricted the entry of independent organisations.

Ringya has been systematically persecuted for decades by the Burmese government, which, contrary to some historical evidence, considers them illegal immigrants from Bangladesh and limits their citizenship rights and access to government services.

Earlier security operations are described as “crimes against humanity” possible from the United Nations.

Myanmar's population is mainly Buddhist and has widespread hatred for Muslim Roingyyat, who are denied citizenship and labelled illegal immigrants “bengalyse”.

Buddhist nationalists, led by monks, have carried out a long Islamic campaign calling for them to be expelled from the country. De facto civil leader Myanmar Aung San Suu Kyi has been convicted of refusing to intervene in support of Rohingya./Periscopi/
