Description:
"Over a year since the attempted coup on February 1, 2021, the Myanmar military junta,
which is led by the perpetrators of the decades-long genocide against Rohingya, is
continuing to act with the intent of destroying this ethnic minority and indigenous group as
well as commit widespread and systematic attacks of violence against the country’s entire
population. As was reported by the United Nations (UN) Independent International FactFinding Mission in 2018, the Myanmar military and security forces had perpetrated war
crimes, genocide, and crimes against humanity for decades, including by using sexual
violence as a “hallmark” of their operations; in 2017, these forces launched strategic attacks
of genocide against Rohingya, forcing hundreds of thousands to be displaced and seek
refuge in neighboring countries. Despite the International Court of Justice’s provisional
measures in 2019, today, Rohingya as a group, including the millions of refugees, have no
chance of finding peace and security, returning to their homes across Myanmar, and having
their fundamental rights restored indefinitely.
This briefer provides a brief, on-the-ground situation update of Rohingya and demonstrates
the way in which the Myanmar military and security forces are committing arbitrary
arrest and detention, including by issuing restrictions to the group's movement, to continue
their strategic persecution of Rohingya..."
