The Burmese Government of Myanmar is committing a genocide 1.3 million Rohingya Muslims that live there. ​

​
Uniformed and armed Burmese military soldiers along with armed Burmese citizens closed in on Muslims who were running away to the river bank that surrounded the village of Tula Toli on three sides.  They separated the men from the women and young children and immediately began slaughtering the men and young boys by piercing them knife or by hacking them with machetes. The soldiers snatched children from mother’s laps, slit their throats in front of their parents, and either stabbed them to death or tossed them into fires. Women were taken in small clusters into villager’s homes where they were gang-raped, beaten, and then set on fire with the home & left to die in the flames.  

​

They are declared “illegal Bangladeshi migrants, despite many of them living in Myanmar for generations, sometimes their family history in Myanmar can be traced centuries back.  

Military government has systematically persecuted them, despite peace negotiations made by the President of Myanmar.  

​

According to the 1982 Law, Rohingya Muslims are denied citizenship. People married to someone who is not considered “Burmese” are barred from applying to a legislative position.

​

Out of those 1.4 million Rohingya Muslims, over 640,000 have tried to flee Myanmar since August. Even when they try to escape, their only route out of Burma is through the crashing waters. These desperate refugees are often trapped into human trafficking rings or force labor on rubber plantations if they don’t die at sea. If the international community doesn’t stop this, these Rohingyas, which are already one of the most oppressed minorities in the world, could be brutally wiped out in its entirety.
