London, UK -- Burma Human Rights Network calls on the international community to intervene in the conflict in Rakhine State between the Burmese Army and the Arakan Army, as fighting continues to cause death and suffering to the civilian population. This comes despite praise for the military by State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi, who issued a statement on 23 April applauding soldiers for protecting civilians.
“The International Community must take steps to initiate a ceasefire between the Arakan Army and the Burmese Military to prevent further death and suffering among the civilian population. In doing so Burma must also be held accountable for continued attacks on civilians in Rakhine and Chin States and violations to the provisional measures ordered by the International Court of Justice. Daw Aung San Suu Kyi’s statements show that the Burmese government has no connection to reality and that the future of the conflict will disregard the safety of civilians while claiming they were a priority,” Said BHRN’s executive director, Kyaw Win.

Kaman IDPs Face Discriminatory Restrictions Despite Being Recognized Ethnicity
Yangon/London -- Burma Human Rights Network has spoken with several Kaman Muslims, who were displaced in Rakhine State during the 2012 riots, who continue to face severe and discriminatory restrictions and degraded citizenship status despite belonging to one of Burma’s recognized ethnic groups.
“Why do authorities not allow Kaman people to return to their homes? The Government of Burma has repeatedly claimed that their policies against the Rohingya have nothing to do with religion but in Kyaukphyu and Myebon we see them using these same discriminatory and oppressive policies against ethnic Kaman who are a recognized ethnic in the country. It is clear that the discrimination is based on religion, as non-Muslim minorities in Rakhine State have not faced any of these oppressive policies.,” said BHRN’s Executive Director Kyaw Win.
