Myanmar; from refuting
allegations to destroying evidences of crime against humanity
Myanmar’s Denial and Destruction
of Evidence are part of genocide against #Rohingya” Dr.Maung Zarni.
Top NLD leader and a close
aide to Myanmar’s Aung San Suu Kyi on Wednesday dismissed mounting
international pressure over alleged abuses of Rohingya Muslims as “biased and
unfair”, despite UN evidence of murder, rape and torture by security forces. https://coconuts.co/yangon/news/myanmar-govt-swats-away-biased-un-abuse-claims/

It is almost nearing fifth
month since Myanmar military and BGP has jointly conducted ethnic cleansing of
the unarmed Rohingya civilians in the name of counterinsurgency operation after
October 9th. As a result, it is estimated that more than 1000 Rohingya have
been killed, 3266 houses burnt to ashes, 28000 internally displaced, 824 locked
up, facing inhumane treatments in jails.
At least 400 women raped, more than 69,000 Rohingya were forced to cross
Bangladesh border.
Myanmar government has
repeatedly denied all allegations so far and has labeled all credible news
/evidences to be faked. Instead of cooperating with UN led independent
investigations and allowing international media an unfettered access to the
lockdown areas in Rakhine state, Myanmar government continues to build
ineffective commissions of enquiry one after another in which many are or were
part of the Burmese Military. All previous commissions lacked credible
investigations.
Still denying blindly: https://mirsdq.blogspot.com/2017/03/burma-army-defends-arakan-state.html
Recently, UNHCR has accused
Myanmar of committing crimes against humanity after conducting its own
investigation in Bangladesh, talking to Rohingya who have recently fled to
escape horrifying atrocities since 09. 10.2016. Even UN special Rapporteur to
Myanmar; Miss Yanghee Lee voiced her concern on Rohingya crisis at the end of
her 5th official visit to Myanmar. Her very recent unexpected visit to
Bangladesh Cox bazar area from 19-23, February 2017 shows the seriousness of
the worsening crisis. There is a strong pressure to conduct a UN led
investigation and even to bring the case to ICC or to the UN Security Council.
Recent UNHCR strong
criticism, possibility of UN Security Council being involved and even taking
perpetrators to ICC has made the Myanmar government and the military suddenly
alert. There is a fear in Naypyidaw and their response is again with
inappropriate actions.
Now, besides threatening and
forcing NV-card on Rohingya, the government is rushing to wipe out all the
evidences which link them of being involved in killings of Rohingya en masse,
burning down their entire villages. The military is secretly digging the mass
graves and removing the remains of innocent Rohingya men, women and children
who were dumped after being shot, slaughtered or burnt alive.
Above is the video of an
entire family of two generations, who were killed by Myanmar Military and their
houses, razed down. Three members of this family were buried in a single grave.
Now the military has dug the grave and has taken the remains of the victims to
unknown places. These are one of many such cases being reported.
Eye witness: Corpses of
Rohingya women and children were dig out by Mynmar’s government commission: https://mirsdq.blogspot.com/2017/02/eye-witness-corpses-of-rohingya-woman.html
UN investigation team must
hurry and wait no more if they wish to catch Myanmar government and the
military red handed.
