www.trust.org BANGKOK (AlertNet) – More than 40,000 Rohingya children in western Myanmar have been deprived of rights to travel, go to school or to marry in future, because their parents had an unauthorised marriage or exceeded a two-child limit, a report saidRights groups say the Rohingyas, a Muslim minority in predominantly Buddhist Myanmar, face some of the worst discrimination in the world, have suffered abuses and deprived of free movement, education and employment under the country's former military rulers and now under the current government. They are also denied Myanmar citizenship. These blacklisted children are refused birth registration, and so are not included in the family list and get hidden during the authorities’ population checks, said the report, which human rights organisation Arakan Project on Thursday submitted to the United Nations’ Committee on the Rights of the Child. “All Rohingya children suffer unmitigated discrimination with regard to education, health care and access to food,” the report said. The report say there are close to 750,000 Rohingyas in the country’s Northern Rakhine State and hundreds of thousands more scattered in Bangladesh, Malaysia and the Middle East following exoduses in the past few decades. |

Bangladesh and Myanmar have started fresh efforts to strengthen bilateral relations for boosting trade and investment, officials said Sunday.
"The relations between the two nations are expected to have a new dimension following the upcoming visit of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to Myanmar," PM's press secretary Abul Kalam Azad told the FE.
Warm relations between the two neighbours are likely to help both the countries to explore economic potentialities of each other, traders said.
Prime Minister Hasina has accepted an invitation from her Myanmar counterpart U Thein Sein, and the visit may take place in December. However, the itinerary will be worked out later, Mr Azad said.
Myanmar has also expressed its willingness to take back Rohingya refugees from Bangladesh, living in and outside camps here, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs officials said.
"Myanmar has agreed to take back the Rohingya refugees living in Bangladesh," Foreign Secretary Mijarul Quayes told a news conference Saturday. |

India and Burma expand trade ties and sign gas deals |

Saturday, 15 October 2011 |
http://www.bbc.co.uk,14 October 2011  India and Burma have agreed a series of measures to boost trade and co-operation during Burmese President Thein Sein's state visit to Delhi. India has promised Burma $500m (£316m) credit for infrastructure projects and they will expand co-operation in oil and gas exploration and border trade. The visit came as Burma released about 200 political prisoners, the latest in a series of steps towards reform. But India has been sharply rebuked in the past for hosting Burmese leaders. Human rights groups and activists condemned last year's five-day visit to Delhi by former military ruler General Than Shwe, aimed at deepening trade links. Correspondents say that with a rapidly growing economy India is desperate to access any major source of energy and will also be keen to offset China's influence in the region. |

Date: July 15/ 2011
Ref: 02/RLDB-HQ/2011
We are very grieved over the death of Al-Haj Master Moussi Uddin, the precious father of Prof Dr Waker Uddin (Director General of ARU), Mr. Reza Uddin (a Council Member of ARU) and the adorable father-in-law of AFK Jilani (a Permanent Council Member of ARU) on July 15, today at 1:30 am in his residence at his (92).
Indeed this gentleman is highly qualified and dignified teacher of vast personalities, and one of political figures of Rohingya Jamiatul Ulema of pre-independence era who has been met the General Aung San (the father of our Burmese nation) by Quaid-e-Azam General Mohammed Ali Jinnah (the founder of Pakistan) in Karachi airport of Pakistan during Aung San’s trip to London for signing a deed with Mr Attlee. During the meeting he raised many important issues regarding the future of Rohingyas. He remained some precious jewels, that’s, the most qualified sons behind him to follow his way of aspiration; among them two of the sons, Prof. Dr. Waker Uddin and Mr. Reza Uddin are already taking part in ARU to play significant roles regarding the community issues. |

The Steps toward Destruction of the Nation and Her Democracy |

Date: July 15/ 2011
Ref: 01/RLDB-HQ/2011 It is very horrible and frustrated to study the civil dressed Burma’s military government of their warning to Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and NLD to halt the political activities by saying NLD as illegal organization. Almost it is no other than a threat and we are very concern about her safety. It is also very awful to read the regime of their ongoing wars against the ethnic nationality forces that causing thousand of civilians to flee and many others are kept under their hostility. Some of the sequences are terrible such as womenfolk are killed after raped, blocking the assistances to the people of war regions and university students of those regions were interrupted to attend the schools and so on. Beside that, killing, jailed, rape, relocation, war porters, forced labors, corruptions etc., become a carefree life for Burmese armies in the legal way since they took over the power. Thousands of monks, students, politicians and intellectuals who came to oppose them of their rules since 1962 have been killed and many others were kept in detentions for long terms. A UNHCR report in 2011 said that Burma got the status number five that produces the most refuges in the world. In addition Burma military regime is among the few countries that makes people stateless and homeless. As of the evidence, millions of Burmese have been left for other countries, among them Rohingya alone are about 1.5 millions. |
