The Righteous for the Rohingya

A "stateless people", in a country, Myanmar, that is still coming to terms with the experience of the military junta; a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Aung San Suu Kyi, who has always had an ambiguous position on what the United Nations have called a "genocide".

The Righteous of the ethnic cleansing against the Rohingya are those who try to defend those persecuted, helping them in the refugee camps where they are forced to live, and trying to spread the voice of one of the most oppressed minorities in the world.

Over the years and through our research, we have collected a few figures, which we introduce here.

    According to Rohingya testimonials, even though violence appears to have been decreased, persecution is still going on and it is perpetrated through robberies, rapes and systematic sexual violence against women and girls. Additionally, those who are still inside the country are literally starving.

    The Rohingya community now forcibly displaced in Bangladesh had to face perilous journeys, taking the sea route or crossing land borders. Sometimes people are forced to cross rivers. Deaths have been recorded along all the routes, demonstrating once again that if you are in real danger, you will do everything possible to save your family and to give your children a better future. Thus, we cannot ignore violence and abuse, no matter where they occur

    A new case of genocide?

    In 1939, ship SS St. Louis, with nearly 1,000 Jews fleeing Nazi Germany on board, was sent back to Europe first by Cuba and then by the United States. The image of that tragedy reminds the travel by sea of the Rohingyas from the situation that the US Holocaust Museum based in Washington did not hesitate to called as genocide.
