Government and people of Malaysia, Indonesia, and Brunei:

The Rohingya and Myanmar Muslim community worldwide vehemently demand the Governments of Malaysia, Indonesia, and Brunei to boycott the SEA Games of 2013 in Myanmar to show solidarity with the victims of violence against Muslims by Buddhist Rakhine and the armed forces of Myanmar in 2012 and 2013. The Government of Myanmar has deprived Rohingya Muslims the freedom of worship, and it has shut down Muslim places of worship, schools, and places of burial. The Government of Myanmar has also prohibited repairing or rebuilding of over 60 mosques that were burnt down or destroyed by the radical Buddhist Rakhine extremists in Arakan/Rakhine state.
In Metktila in Central Myanmar, the Government has sentenced innocent Muslims to prison terms of up to 28 years; on the contrary, the Buddhist extremist who committed gruesome murders of Muslim men, women, and children, and burned down several mosques, were sentenced to only 3 years or less. The Muslim victims who lost family members and homes and trapped in camps of internally displaced persons (IDPs) are also not allowed to return to their properties to rebuild their homes. The violation of basic human rights against Rohingya Muslims in Arakan state has risen to the level of crime against humanity, leading to rejection of seriously wounded or critically ill Rohingya Muslim patients for treatment in the Government hospitals and expulsion of those who were admitted to hospitals by some staff members (of conscience) are humanly unthinkable. In numerous cities throughout Myanmar the Government did not provide protection to Muslim victims, rather brought up charges against hundreds of victims. It is unconscionable that an overwhelming number of Buddhist-perpetrator of crimes are not even questioned or detained by the Government of Myanmar. During the violence against Muslims, the Government armed forces stood and watched, and participated in the violence against Muslims. It is alarming that the radical Buddhist monks who preached hate and violence against Muslims in 2012, have returned to the street to preach hate and violence again. The Government of Myanmar is also not giving international aid groups and humanitarian assistance teams unfettered access to violence-affected areas and Rohingya villages some of which are virtually open-sky prisons. Brutal murders and atrocities by Myanmar armed forces have been committed against Rohingya in IDP camps in Arakan. Additionally, the properties and homes of the Rohingya victims in several cities in Arakan have been auctioned through a scheme set up by the Government officials.

The Rohingya and Myanmar Muslim community worldwide unequivocally demands the Governments and people of Malaysia, Indonesia, and Brunei to show solidarity with the Rohingya and Myanmar Muslim victims, reject the bigotry by the Government of Myanmar, and boycott the SEA Games in 2013.



Sincerely Yours,

Boycott Sea Games 2013 Campaign
