HSBC, Standard Chartered in hot water for lending to company with links to Myanmar military

Two major UK banks face pressure for lending millions of dollars to a technology company that is partly owned and used by the Myanmar military accused of genocide against the Rohingyas.

UK-based The Observer, a sister concern of The Guardian, on Sunday reported that human rights groups are demanding that two of Britain's biggest banks explain why they have lent tens of millions of pounds to such a company.

HSBC and Standard Chartered have loaned a total of $60m (£44.5m) to Vietnamese telecom giant Viettel, which has stakes in Myanmar mobile network Mytel, in the last four years.

Over that period, the Myanmar military has been accused of committing war crimes, genocide and crimes against humanity.

Rohingya refugees on an island of no return

Bangladesh is moving Rohingya refugees to an isolated island amid fears militant Islamic groups are penetrating border camps

CHIANG MAI – They were told that they would be the first to be repatriated to Myanmar.

But when the first lot of 1,642 Rohingya Muslim refugees arrived on Bangladesh’s Bhasan Char island on December 3, they were herded into a huge, newly built settlement consisting of concrete living quarters, two hospitals, clinics, mosques, teaching centers, cyclone shelters, playgrounds and a police station.

Located 34 kilometers from the mainland, or a three-hour journey by boat, the island and what has been constructed there show that the Bangladeshi authorities are accepting the fact that they are stuck with a permanent refugee population. None of the estimated one million Rohingyas in Bangladesh are going back to Myanmar in the foreseeable future, if at all.

One of the most devastating examples of ongoing genocide is currently taking place in the Southeast Asian country of Myanmar, where a marginalized group of people called the Rohingya people have been suffering from the effects of "ethnic cleaning" for many years. Now, they are being relocated to a potentially unsafe island off the coast of Chattogram, which will likely pose serious environmental and human rights risks.

Talks between the Tatmadaw (military) representatives and the Arakan Army are proceeding smoothly as both sides keep their desire to reach a ceafire agreement after over two years of clashes.

Major General Zaw Min Tun, chief of Tatmadaw True News Information Term, said the negotiation between representatives of the Tatmadaw and the ethnic Rakhine armed group is progressing so the relative peace in the strife-torn state remains.

“We have to continue the negotiations so as to end the fighting and move forward the peace process in the Rakhine State,” he told the Myanmar Times on December 21. “The Tatmadaw and the AA have the view that we need to keep on negotiating because the civilians in Rakhine support the negotiations for peace.”

Concern among Muslims over halal status of COVID-19 vaccine

ARAB NEWS
AP
December 20, 2020

• Spokespeople for Pfizer, Moderna and AstraZeneca have said that pork products are not part of their COVID-19 vaccines
• But limited supply and preexisting deals worth millions of dollars with other companies means that some countries with large Muslim populations will receive vaccines that have not yet been certified to be gelatin-free

JAKARTA: In October, Indonesian diplomats and Muslim clerics stepped off a plane in China. While the diplomats were there to finalize deals to ensure millions of doses reached Indonesian citizens, the clerics had a much different concern: Whether the COVID-19 vaccine was permissible for use under Islamic law.

As companies race to develop a COVID-19 vaccine and countries scramble to secure doses, questions about the use of pork products — banned by some religious groups — has raised concerns about the possibility of disrupted immunization campaigns.

BANGKOK — Six-year-old twins Noor and Aziz live in the largest refugee camp in the world. They are Rohingya Muslims who escaped ethnic cleansing in their native Myanmar for refuge in neighboring Bangladesh. They are also Muppets.

On Thursday, Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit that runs the early education TV show “Sesame Street” and operates in more than 150 countries, unveiled Aziz and Noor as the latest Muppets in their cast of characters.

Move of Rohingya Refugees Poses Environmental and Human Rights Concerns

On December 4, about 1,600 Rohingya traveled across the Bay of Bengal in seven navy boats from Chattogram to Bhasan Char. Bangladesh plans to move 100,000 families to the island.

The move poses serious concerns, both with regard to the environment and human rights.

Located about 18.6 miles (30 km) from the mainland, Bhasan Char is low-lying and prone to flooding. Therefore, it has been uninhabited. The island only formed in the past 20 years as a result of silt buildup. Bhasan Char rests at the confluence of three large rivers, the Brahmaputra, the Ganges and the Meghna River, which collectively bring rich deposits of silt to the bay.

Bangladesh has relocated more than 1,700 Rohingya refugees from crowded camps in the country’s southeast to Bhasan Char, an island prone to flooding, and it intends to relocate thousands more.

It was obvious that there would be no progress on the Teesta agreement during the talks this time. We have no alternative but to depend on India regarding the Teesta agreement. I do not expect the agreement to be signed when Narenda Modi comes to Dhaka in March next year.

Bangladesh won its independence through bloodshed and the liberation war of 1971 with the support of India. Bangladesh is grateful for this support from its close neighbour. Even after independence Bangladesh has received support and cooperation from India. We always want friendly relations with India.

More than 100 UK MPs have called on the British government to make an intervention supporting The Gambia's Rohingya genocide case at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), as human rights violations against the Rohingyas continue.

"Ending impunity is essential not only to ensure justice and uphold international law, but also to deter further international crimes by the military in Myanmar," according to a letter to the UK Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, Dominic Raab MP, issued on December 17.

Rohingya Women: A Life of Desperation

albawaba

Published December 17th, 2020

Stay in a squalid refugee camp -- hopeless, starving, and made to feel a burden -- or leave, risking death, rape, human trafficking and months at sea to reach a husband you've never met.

This is the bleak choice many Rohingya women, already scarred from fleeing violent persecution in Myanmar, are now facing.

As conditions deteriorate in increasingly overcrowded Bangladeshi refugee camps, desperate parents are marrying off their daughters to Rohingya men thousands of kilometers away in Malaysia.

Virtual weddings and international betrothals can seem an ideal solution.
