Introduction
Prior to Burman occupation of Arakan in 1784,
Ruled by Hindus, Buddhists and Muslim
Muslim Sultanate beginning in 1430 lasted for more than 350 years
Until it was invaded and occupied by Burman king Bodaw Paya in 1784.
The map of ancient Arakan
A map showing cultural divisions of South-East Asia in 15th century A.D. as shown in the Time Atlas of World Histoiy indicating Arakan as an Islamic Stale by Geoferry Banadough P-133
In the year 1824, British occupied Arakan put under India
In 1937, separated form British India
Arakan became a province of independent Burma in 1948.
Map of present Arakan
Persecution minorities
Since after the 1962’s coup by general Nay Win
He confiscated the properties of Indian and nationalized, later target Chinese
Finally aimed at Rohingyas
However, in the present regime the situation atrocities reach at its peak
The problems of the Rohingyas
are the result of the forcible expulsion from their homeland
by means of persecution, genocidal massacres, torture and harassment in the most inhuman manner.
It is a problem of religious and political persecution
a systematic elimination of an ethnic Muslim community from their own homeland of Arakan

Na-Sa-Ka Operation (border security forces) (presently going on) 1992.....
Na-Sa-Ka operation
Headquarters is at the border town of Maungdaw to implement the following objectives:-
Socio-economic deprivation of the Rohingyas;
Effective control on the growth of Rohingya population;
De-muslimization of Arakan through ethnic cleansing;
Spread of Buddhism and Burma Buddhist culture in Arakan with prejudice on Islam and Rohingya culture.
Mechanisms
Extra judicial killing: Since 1989 thousands of Rohingya youths and madrasah students were killed.
Arbitrary arrest and extortion: is a daily routine of business of Na-Sa-Ka and police. It is popularly known as Kalar Hmu
Confiscation of properties: Land, and cattle confiscated and distribute it among Burman model villagers.
Now, there are 100 model villages. Each village has 70-100 household and
Each house was provided with 4 acres of land and 2 pairs of cows.
Anti-Rohingya and anti-Muslim propaganda: The junta incites communal riots by allowing to distribute books and taped records insulting Islam and Muslims.
Rape: Rape of women is widespread. It was an official strategy to terrorize and compel the Rohingya community to flee.
Forced labor: Although forced labor is prevalent throughout Burma, in North Arakan, it is only imposed on the Rohingyas.
Restriction on movements: Rohingyas are not allowed to travel freely from one place to another, even within the same locality.
Restriction on marriage: take years to obtain permission, requires payment of bribes. Some brides are forced to undergo a pregnancy test. Unauthorized marriages are criminalized and are sentenced with 4 to 7 years.
Restriction on employment: As non-citizens, we are barred from all kind of employment and therefore people are jobless.
Restriction on education: Illiteracy is at 80%. Primary and secondary education is neglected. Due to restrictions of movement, we are prevented from attending higher education.
Resttriction on religious practices
Many mosques have been destroyed and closed down.
No permission is given even to renovate Masjids and madrasahs while building new one is totally forbidden.
It means within more and less than twenty years there will not be seen any Islamic symbolical housings
Most of them are build of woods and bamboos.
Contrary to it there is no hill-top left that there is no pagoda on it.
100 new Buddhist settlement
The demography of Arakan change into Buddhism appearance

Women build their hut as no man in the family
Dangerous journey
Due to endless persecution in Burma
Unwelcoming attitudes of neighboring Bangladesh Prompted many Rohingyas to seek refuge
elsewhere. In the past, Rohingyas used Saudi Arabia, UAE but
as Bangladesh not issue passport; almost impossible,
The only option since 2006 became a risky boat trip to reach Malaysia via Thailand.
B. In Thailand
In December 2008 and January 2009, as more and more Rohingyas fled on boats and reached Thai waters,
Thailand changed policies and the Thai military, after torturing them on a deserted island,
Towed them back to high seas with little food and water on boats with no engines. 850 were rescued in India and Indonesia but hundreds perished in the ocean.
Survivors are now detained in Thailand, India and Indonesia and their fate remains uncertain.
Asian summit, Thailand
Failed address the problems
Non-interference policies make Asian nation to shy away from the matter
Surprisingly, they were branded illegal immigrant caught in Andaman sea
Level as Bangli and accept them if they can porbe Burmese Bangali
Why Bangali Why not Rohingya? Think!
C. How about Malaysia?
Caught and deported
Employment problems
No education for children
Even not admit into the religious school
No medical facilities
Our humble Appeal
International bodies UN, EU, OIC, ASEAN, NGOs
Countries such as UK, USA, India, China, Australia and
To explore a permanent solution to the outstanding Rohingya problems
Within the frame work of the international law, pacts on human rights and other international practices.

10. To stop forced Eviction and House Destruction
