I have always stood alongside the voiceless people

-

Being a Rohingya does not deprive me from my rights to show support and solidarity towards my family, my community and my country. I have always stood alongside the voiceless people. My heart has always been open and selflessly disposed to listen, help and support people in need around me. 


For the last few days, the situation in Bangladesh has worsened, and is today unfortunately far worse than what I stated in my latest post. I saw many sharing on whatsapp. So trouble! 


I must emphasize that there is no place nor time left to discuss crime and killing people. How sad it is that in 2020, we do still have to argue and debate that murdering, killing, torturing, perpetrating genocide towards particular groups of human beings is not acceptable anymore. 


Suppressing lives and killing people has never been a solution to our world's complex challenges and issues. The survival of such a belief is a great and very sad tragedy for our world and humanity. Let us gather our energy, passion, values, humanity and hope to point out and uncover the real problems, to unite and think together to solve them. 


My Rohingya brothers and sisters still feel insecure and in permanent danger. A never-ending fear due to recurrent concerning threats from gangs towards them. 


I have always been against such inhuman doings, abuses and acts of violence. I have been committed my whole life promoting solidarity, and a fervent supporter of positive collective and mutual acts of kindness and generosity.


It is urgent to collectively find the criminals, everywhere, the wrongdoers, the promoters of violence, influencing the vicious circle of terror that must end. 


I do have sincere hopes that the Government of Bangladesh will take rapid and concrete actions to put an end to violence, to stop agitators, aggressors, including those who under the guise of belonging to the community do bring harm to their own community.  


I do not want to see more people profiting from these crimes, from killing us. I am sorry because we have already struggled so much. Too much!... We don’t even have a good time in everywhere. It’s hard to imagine such things are going on. 


My dear Rohingya brothers and sisters, we must continue our fight for justice, without respite, everywhere. 


May God help us through this hard time and protect all of us, and prevent us from doing harm to other people!

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
