Recommendations
.....
Specifically,
the
policy
requiring
the
Rohingya
to
produce
official
documentation
upon
repatriation
will
likely
hamper
the
Rohingya?s
ability
to
return
to
their
homes
in
Myanmar,
due
to
their
lack
of
citizenship
status,
noted
above.
HRN?s
interviews
with
the
Rohingya
refugees
confirmed
the
possibility
that
many
Rohingya
may
be
forced
to
return
to
Myanmar
against
the
ir
volition.
For
example,
the
55
-
year
-
old
woman,
the
29
-
year
-
old
man,
and
the
70
-
year
-
old
man,
all
expressed
reluctance
to
return
to
Myanmar
unless
they
had
guarantees
of
certain
rights
(i.e.
citizenship,
living
freely
outside
of
a
camp,
and
citizenship
wi
th
fundamental
rights,
respectively).
The
37
-
year
-
old
man
and
the
35
-
year
-
old
man
both
mentioned
concern
for
lack
of
citizenship
as
a
reason
they
do
not
want
to
return
to
Myanmar.
Given
the
interviewees?
explicit
expressions
of
fear
and
reluctance
to
retur
n
to
Myanmar,
HRN
is
skeptical
that
a
repatriation
process
that
does
not
provide
comprehensive
protection
of
the
Rohingya
rights
would
be
in
compliance
with
international
legal
standards
regarding
the
treatment
of
refugees.
V.
Recommendations
Human
Rights
Now
is
gravely
concerned
with
the
allegations
of
systematic
and
gross
violations
of
human
rights
and
humanitarian
law
directed
against
Rohingya
in
Myanmar
and
with
the
urgency
of
the
situation
of
displaced
Rohingya.
The
Burmese
military?s
atrocities
in
Rak
hine
S
tate
include
summary
executions,
rape
,
expulsion
and
the
mass
burning
of
villages.
These
abuses
amount
to
crimes
against
humanity
and
resulted
in
widespread
deaths
and
the
displacement
of
over
650
,
000
Rohingya..."
