Muslim minority being killed en masse is a very common occurrences these days.

What was done to the Rohingya people is stomach turing, Aung San Suu Kyi needs to go in front ICC at the Hague.

Article in regards to what Baby Yoda is referring to:


Good on Gambia in leading the charge to get these psychopaths exposed. The Arab world silent as usual unless it's about something Iran or Israel has done.
Arab leaders are extremely cowardly when it comes to taking positions against China (the Chinese basically have their hands up the Burmese military and political leadership's collective assholes).

This thread is over a year old and has very few posts. People in general don't care about Muslims being killed at this point and it's fucking depressing as hell.

Hopefully the bump will at least make some people realize the dreadful actions being committed by the Myanmar government against the rohingya.

Has there ever been another Nobel laureate who did such a heel turn like Aung Suu Kyi? I am just flabbergasted and super disappointed to find out how scummy she is. She only cares about the human rights of her people. I'm sure in her head she's justifying why she can't speak out against the military for this genocide (or shudder, why it's justified) but dang. Terrible.
I'm sure the Chinese government would love to do what the Myanmar military are doing as it's much faster.

The Islamic terrorism card is just so easy to use now. Commit human rights abuses against innocent Muslims and just blame it on the terrorists.

Does someone want to make a new thread about the trial and related news? If not already created -- my Era search skills are not great.

I wasn't aware of this:

Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi's muted response to the Rohingya's plight has earned the condemnation of some of her fellow Nobel Peace laureates, eight of whom sent her an open letter this week accusing her of "actively denying that these atrocities even occurred" and urging that she "be held criminally accountable, along with her army commanders, for crimes committed."


From the open letter:

Aung San Suu Kyi must be held criminally accountable, along with her army commanders, for crimes committed.

Shirin Ebadi, Nobel Peace Laureate (2003) – Iran
Leymah Gbowee, Nobel Peace Laureate (2011) – Liberia
Tawakkol Karman, Nobel Peace Laureate (2011) – Yemen
Mairead Maguire, Nobel Peace Laureate, (1976) – Northern Ireland
Rigoberta Menchú Tum, Nobel Peace Laureate (1992) – Guatemala
Jody Williams, Nobel Peace Laureate (1997) – USA
Kailash Satyarthi, Nobel Peace Laureate (2014) – India
Muhammad Yunus, Nobel Peace Laureate (2006) — Bangladesh

Note:

In February 2018, three Nobel peace laureates – Tawakkol Karman, Shirin Ebadi, and Mairead Maguire – visited the Cox's Bazar area in Bangladesh. They spent time with and listened to the stories of over 100 women refugees. After hearing testimonies describing how security forces burned villages, tortured, killed and systematically raped women and girls—as well as reports from humanitarian organizations and UN officials— the Laureates concluded that the attacks on the Rohingya of Rakhine State amounted to crimes against humanity and genocide. They requested visas to meet with Aung San Suu Kyi in Myanmar, but permission to travel to Myanmar was not granted.

The world doesn't have the courage to do anything anymore. This is on the level of Nazi Germany, it feels like. And we just shrug our shoulders and move on. Most of the worlds governments won't talk about it. It's such a pathetic state of affairs.

That's exactly what we did in the face of Nazi Germany. We were perfectly willing to throw Jewish people under the bus as long as they weren't our problem and Germany was keeping to itself. Then after the war we went right back to trying to wash our hands of them because we hadn't learnt a damn thing.

Aung San Suu Kyi tells ICJ: Myanmar genocide claims 'factually misleading'

The Nobel peace prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi has defended Myanmar's government against accusations of genocide at the international court of justice, calling the allegations an "incomplete and misleading factual picture of the situation in Rakhine state".

"The situation in Rakhine state is complex and not easy to fathom," she said. "The troubles in Rakhine state … go back into past centuries and and have been particularly severe. ARSA seeks independence for Rakhine, finding inspiration from the [ancient] Arakan kingdom."

"There will be no tolerance of human rights violations in Rakhine or elsewhere in Myanmar," she said."No stone has been left unturned to make domestic accountability work … We are dealing with an internal conflict started by ARSA to which Myanmar responds."

The contrast between Aung San Suu Kyi winning the 1991 Nobel peace prize and her present position as chief denier that any ethnic violence has been perpetrated against the Rohingya has astonished international human rights organisations. Last year, the US Holocaust Memorial Museum revoked her Elie Wiesel award.

Critics claim Aung San Suu Kyi made the surprising decision to appear at the court herself to contest the well-documented claims because her defiance plays well to her domestic, Buddhist-majority audience and electorate. No state has ever been found guilty of genocide.

Absolutely shameful. I had wondered why on earth she even bothered to go there and give testimony, but the final paragraph makes that pretty clear and is disappointing beyond reason.

Muslims are abused everywhere - Syria, Palestine, Kashmir, Xinjiang, Rohingia and pretty soon it will be India.

Meanwhile, Muslim majority countries act as if nothing is happening.

In geopolitics as long as you have the support of the the big three (US,Russia and China) you are pretty much untouchable and can do whatever the hell you please case in point: Isreal (USA), Syria (Russia) and Myanmar (China).
