Human rights violations against Rohingya Muslims

Description: 

"Racism and racial discrimination has always been one of the most important problems in human history and is a violation of the Universal statement of Human Rights (1948) which has given all people equality and a life free from discrimination. The Human rights declaration states that everyone has the right to life, liberty and personal security, no one can be subjected to torture or capital punishment, everyone has the right to freedom of thought and religion, and everyone has the right to freedom of expression and opinion. Today, unfortunately, these minimum human rights are not respected by the Myanmar government, and Rohingya Muslims face the strictest violations of their human rights for being Muslim and for having different ideas to the majority of people in that society which are the main reasons for this treatment. Thousands have been killed, wounded and displaced by the Myanmar Army?s attacks on Muslims and the situation of women and children is much worse. The Myanmar army kills men and assaults women, many Muslims are forced to move from their country, which, according to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, is one of the fundamental and basic rights of humans living in their homeland..."
