Situation of the Rohingya people and other minorities in the Republic of the Union of Myanmar

Description: 

"Society for Threatened Peoples expresses its concern regarding the situation of the Rohingya people and other Muslim minorities in the Republic of the Union of Myanmar. After decades of discriminations, the Rohingyas have been subject to unacceptable persecutions since June 2012. The latest unrests showed that ethnic violence is turning into anti-Muslim violence, targeting Muslims not only in western Rakhine State, but also in central and southern Myanmar. Along with anti-Muslim hostilities, confrontations are still going on in the Kachin state and the Shan state...".....Written NGO statement to the 23th Session of UN Human Rights Council.
