A Briefing Session on the International Court of Justice, ICJ in The Gambia vs. Myanmar

-







What an insightful experience I gained when I attended the talk at a Briefing Session on the International Court of Justice, ICJ in The Gambia vs. Myanmar!
I had the opportunity to meet many wonderful people Including Professor John Packer, Associate Professor of Law and Director of the Human Rights Research and Education Centre (HRREC) at the University of Ottawa and representatives from KL legal Aid Centre including CENTHRA. Thanks everyone from over the world for the advocacy, fight for justice and awareness on our issues. I hope Malaysia will come more with good news for rohingya and refugees soon!
My ex colleague Ayra from UNHCR who helped me edit some of my stuffs. Thanks Ayra for your support and encouragement!
I was a little nervous while asking my question to Professor John Packer regarding the ICJ process and how long it will take. This is because the genocide has been listing 70 years in Myanmar.
Just for calling what’s happening in Myanmar as Genocide, it took 65 years over and it is uncertain how long or how many years for justice to be obtained at this point.
I could see a clear view of ICC and ICJ and it’s a bigger picture now on the Rohingya crises. I believe everything has an end one day. So justice of Rohingya will be prevailed one day! InShaa Allah!
It is a great support from Gambia to bring the case to ICJ and Canada, Bangladesh, Malaysia, USA/House, France, OIC and UN for declaration of Genocide!

Gratitude – and advice – to Malaysia from a Rohingya refugee

Published by ASIA TIMES  I am a Rohingya refugee in Malaysia. In October 2014, human traffickers kidnapped me from outside the Kutupalong refugee camp in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. They covered my face and tied my hands and beat me before putting me on a boat from which I was sold to other traffickers in Thailand. I was held captive in a trafficking camp for 13 days in southern Thailand. I was not given food for five days. I obtained freedom when Thai police rescued 134 Rohingya people in Ranong province. I was kept by the police in an immigration detention center (IDC). After I was declared a victim of human trafficking, I was sent to an IDC shelter in Songkhla, Thailand. I escaped from that facility because there was a Rohingya boy who was beaten by shelter officers. After a month, however, I was arrested again and sold again to traffickers. I was kept in a human-trafficking camp in Penang, Malaysia, until I managed to run away. Finally, in Malaysia, the United N

Few of the answer I have written here in English: JE- Your life has been a very difficult one, refugee in three countries, your father abandoned your family when you were a child, your family was persecuted by the Bangladeshi authorities for their activism, they went through hunger strikes and an attempted forced repatriation among other situations, how within all these difficulties did you manage to be a high average student and stand out among the other children and young Rohingyas in Bangladesh? Ans: Despite all the suffering and difficulties, I believe human rights is for human. I have to speak up for my rights and to educate people about rohingya refugee crisis. Refugee should be powerful and inspiration to others. In ASEAN countries, they haven’t signed according to UN refugee convention 1951. "Activism is an weapon against fear and disappear," That forced me to speak up, why they are ignoring refugee rights, why they are wasting our lives. They need to underst

Born in Malaysia, I am truly honoured to be in this book together with awesome Malaysians, Refugees and migrants. The book has wonderful words and photographs! I remember back in 2016 when Kenny Loh meet with me. He was friendly and warm enough to talk me through and taking photos of my life. My tears ran down while I was explaining my situation to him where I lived, a tiny room at the back of a building. It housed more than 20 people and there was only one bathroom to serve our needs. It was stifling hot under the zinc roof, but I was grateful for the roof over my head. In my room, there were a few mementos to remind him of home. I hope that people will read and share my story. I want others to acknowledge the right of my people to exist in a country that we call home. Finally, the story is to reach a global stage. My photos are being exhibited at Ruang Think City. Now the compilation is finally released and after launch of the born in Malaysia book, I managed to spend
