ဖော်ပြချက်/အကြောင်းအရာ: 

"In March 2015, staff of the SIMON-SKJODT CENTER FOR THE PREVENTION OF GENOCIDE traveled to Burma, also called Myanmar, to investigate the threats facing the Rohingya, a Muslim minority group that has been subject to dehumanization through rampant hate speech, the denial of citizenship, and restrictions on freedom of movement, in addition to a host of other human rights violations that put this population at grave risk of additional mass atrocities and even genocide.... STARKEST EARLY WARNING SIGNS OF FUTURE MASS ATROCITIES: This list represents some of the concerns we heard the most often from Rohingya leaders and survivors: • Physical violence targeted against Rohingya people, homes, and businesses • Physical segregation of the Rohingya from members of other ethnic groups • Blockage of humanitarian assistance, including necessary health care • Deplorable living conditions for those displaced from their homes • Rampant and unchecked hate speech against Rohingya and other Muslims • Restrictions on movement • Stripping of citizenship • Destruction of mosques, onerous processes for Rohingya to maintain or fix mosques, and other restrictions on freedom of religion • Extortion and illegal taxation • Land confiscation • Two-child policy and restrictions on marriage in some areas of Rakhine State • ?Supply checks” or raids by security forces on Rohingya homes • Sexual violence and arbitrary arrest and detention • Abuses in detention • Revocation of legal or other documents • Inability to pursue livelihoods and restrictions on business opportunities • Lack of opportunities to pursue education • Restrictions on voting • Government blockage of information flow in and out of Rohingya communities..."
