a school teacher before joining the ranks of arson he taught to students who were discriminated against and refused entry to state schools mohammad believes this because of the dark color of their skin and because they are mostly muslims and hindus and not put it like the other ethnic groups there were haters are treated with such hate and so over the years many had already fled to bangladesh escaping persecution others remain displaced in iraq. what happened mid august why did our son the. salvation army start an uprising against the me and mar government or thor eighty. nine. even when need. money money you know ruined get it going to help them good. hold on of it while they're really really. you know. i don't know you're going to

man. born in exile in karate pakistan he grew up in saudi arabia before moving back to the right going to head to movement there had been armed groups before but none as successful as arson the group was created after the two thousand and twelve reckoning state riots which started as a small dispute between dozens of rank of muslims and local buddhists turned in matter of weeks into a nationwide crackdown against muslims in me and mark regardless of their ethnicity in the right kind of non muslim or anything like hindus were also targeted thousands fled by boat to malaysia and indonesia. the then president chen sent suggested the resettlement of all of them abroad now in bangladesh among the ring of refugees are many hindus they to continue to flee the persecution they face in their homeland the militant group was first called keane meaning movement of face

breeding the tribe in our country. buddhism is more than a religion it's the nation's identity monks are the moral authority with a return to democracy in two thousand and twelve came freedom of speech some but as months have used this new freedom to spread hate speech using social media they fear that the british fabric is under attack from muslims and rango as the kofi annan report recommends the government to create much needed legislation against hate speech sixty six d. is a law that makes defamation criminal it's been used to jail journalists critical of the government not monks spreading hate among those targeting muslims are former political prisoners and members of the party the national league for democracy the celebrated nobel peace prize laureate spent fifteen years in house arrest before being elected member of parliament. in the interview with al jazeera and two

thousand and thirteen she laid out her vision to read more and her focus on human rights the ranger being persecuted at the moment how do you feel about i'm not happy about it i'm not happy about the fact that there should be such tension in our country and also i'm unhappy about the fact that there's so much focus on these troubles that it is difficult for us to resolve them calmly and with so much attention focused on the tension in the violence the disagreements it is very difficult first to work out a peaceful and happy solution for all sides this is a great worry for us in this world today nothing can be sorted out peacefully because anything that happens anywhere becomes the focus of tremendous global attention and sometimes i think we do need a bit of quiet and a bit of space in which to resolve very very complicated problems would you like to

help. i would like to help them cos i would like to help to achieve a situation in burma which we can be proud we we don't want to have to be explaining why certain things are happening in our country we want the world to be able to understand why they're happening. she has been compared to nelson mandela for a long fight for democracy and to mahatma gandhi for but it's inspired nonviolent movement although riggers are not allowed to vote they wholeheartedly supported her during her election campaign uncensored she was seen as the beacon of change. hope she would finally recognize them as citizens i for one promise everybody who is living in some feat proper protection in one of the more i think important for the norms of human rights. but this increasingly looks like a broken promise this mobile video shot by me in mar security forces show the

independence because he thought then that there's no other way to achieve it and also because as a politician he was that understood politician had good political sense even as a young man that seemed the right time for the bernese independence movement to make a big push forward in order that they may be able to get rid of kind of a new rule. but since his daughter took office their circumstances overhang goes has dramatically deteriorated he still refuses to acknowledge them by name spokesmen for office prefer the term but golly which implies that there are illegal immigrants despite being born in me and more you supported. now that she is the leader of me in mars do you still support her.
