The Burmese Rohingya Association in Japan ( BRAJ) has released a statement condemning the Myanmar junta’s conscription of Rohingya civilians into the army.

Below is the 16 April BRAJ statement:

The Burmese Rohingya Association in Japan ( BRAJ) is outraged, deeply concerned and condemns the forced conscription of Rohingya men into the brutal Burmese military regime services and forcing vulnerable Rohingya civilians to take part in the regime-orchestrated protests against Arakan Army (AA) in some parts of Arakan, which were aiming to destroy unity and to divide people along ethnic and religious lines.

The United Nations Security Council has failed to hold Myanmar’s generals accountable for crimes against humanity and acts of genocide against the Rohingya.

Joint statement calls for improving system of providing protection at refugee camps in Bangladesh

Dozens of Rohingya rights organizations on Tuesday denounced the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA), an insurgent group recently involved in killing Rohingya at refugee camps in southeastern Bangladesh.

“The Rohingya community does not accept ARSA as a group that represents the ideals and interests of them in or outside of Burma (Myanmar). Thus, the group must not claim it represents the interests of the Rohingya nation,” said a joint statement signed by 22 Rohingya rights organizations, including the Arakan Rohingya National Organization (ARNO), the European Rohingya Council (ERC) and the Free Rohingya Coalition (FRC).
