Crimes Against Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar
Raheel-Nawaz Regime Abandons Rohingya Muslims, Whilst Embracing Myanmar’s Brutal Regime

The Myanmar brutal regime has viciously persecuted the Rohingya Muslims. The Myanmar regime does not even recognize Rohingya Muslims as legal citizens of Myanmar. They cannot travel without a permit. At the time of marriage they must give written assurance that they will not have more than two children. They are subjected to forced labor, as they have to work one day at any military or national project and one night as a sanitary worker. Their agriculture lands are confiscated and distributed amongst Buddhists. For the last few years, a campaign has been launched against the Rohingya Muslims, under the supervision of Buddhist mushrikeen, in which thousands of Muslims have been killed after brutal torture.

What rubs salt in the wounds of the Rohingya Muslims is the cowardly attitude of the current rulers. When Rohingya Muslims sought refuge in Bangladesh, Indonesia and Malaysia, the Muslim rulers pushed them back. Recently, since April, again Rohingya Muslims have tried to migrate to Indonesia and Malaysia, but the rulers refused to grant them refuge and abandoned them to the sea or human traffickers, who take them to the jungles for forced labor or kill them and bury them in collective graves.

It is despicable that the Raheel-Nawaz regime has not applied any sort of pressure upon the brutal Myanmar regime to end the evil atrocities. Moreover a slap in the face of the Muslims was revealed on 22 May 2015, by the ISPR through a press release (PR#149/2015), that disclosed that, “General Khin Aung Myint, Commander-in-Chief, Myanmar Air Force called on General Rashad Mahmood, Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee. Both the dignitaries discussed matters related to professional interest and mutual cooperation between the two Armed Forces, and vowed to further strengthen mutually beneficial cooperation.”

Hizb ut Tahrir asks the Raheel-Nawaz regime what kind of mutual cooperation will take place? By keeping silent over the Myanmar regime’s atrocities, does it not strengthen the oppressor? Is there not a single man of conscience in the Raheel-Nawaz regime to reject all contact with the Myanmar regime? Or will the Raheel-Nawaz regime again claim that we are too weak to face the enemy, as they pretend with America and India? Can Pakistan, with the world’s seventh largest army, equipped with nuclear capability and missile technology, not stop the weak Myanmar regime?

The Muslims see clearly that not a single Muslim ruler is coming forward to protect them and take their side against their enemies. However, whenever their Western masters order them to send troops to safeguard their interests, they instantly send our troops in thousands to any corner of the world. Indeed, the Khilafah "Caliphate" will protect Muslims and will teach a lesson to the enemies, such that Muslims will never be harmed again anywhere in the world. Allah (swt) said,

[وَإِنِ ٱسْتَنصَرُوكُمْ فِى ٱلدِّينِ فَعَلَيْكُمُ ٱلنَّصْرُ]

“If they seek your help in Deen, it is your duty to help them” [Al-Anfal: 72].
