Burma Genocide

2. Sides Involved
Rohingya Muslims
against
The government of Burma

3. The Burmese Government
President: Thein Stein
Thein Stein denies the presence of the Rohingya as an ethnic group of Burma, labelling them Bengalis
 Cause: Burma’s 1982 Citizenship Act denies the Rohingya people citizenship, and forces them to claim to be Bengali migrants, allowing the government to easily deport them.

4. The Rohingya Muslims
There are around 1.33 million Rohingya living in Burma
The Rohingya are considered to be illegal “foreigners” by the Burmese government

5. Conflict
They suffer vicious attacks and systematic abuse by Burma’s government. The Rohingya Muslim ethnic minority in Burma have been called “the most oppressed people on Earth”.
The Rohingya face many restrictions including:
Limits on the right to marry and bear children
Limits on movement
Forced labor
Denial of due process
Segregation
Etc.
