Description:
"At the time when Myanmar is coming out from fifty years of isolation and military rule, the rise of anti-Muslim
ideology and violence against the Rohingya Muslim minority
is threatening to derail the democratization process and
the stability of the same country.
Society for threatened Peoples is deeply concerned about the treatment of the Rohingya Muslim minority in Myanmar?s
internally displaced camps and about the rise and spread of
religious hatred feelings across the country. So far, the
government of Myanmar has turned a blind eye on the plight of the Rohingya and rather than intervene and foster a
reconciliation process between Buddhists and Muslims it has tolerated and encouraged discrimination and religious
fundamentalism...".....Written NGO statement to the 25th Session of UN Human Rights Council.
