Information platform on human rights in Myanmar

The Aung San Suu Kyi Fund “Democracy, Cultures, and Action” is extremely concerned by the current political unrest in Myanmar, as well as by the numerous reports of violent situations, human rights violations and ethnic cleansing, notably in the Rakhine State amongst the Rohingyas communities.

This platform has been created in order to provide a better understanding of the situation and to give resources for action. Its content includes links to information websites of multiple sources, as well as official reports by international organizations. It will also relay initiatives supported or endorsed by the Fund. A thorough assessment of the situation has been done by the members of the Fund and its results are compiled in a file that can be accessed freely.

In December 2016, a letter signed by the four scholars of the Fund was sent to the State Counsellor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, which voiced our concerns about the human rights situation in Myanmar. We conveyed to her our feeling that “the magnitude of the atrocities needs to be met with a clear message”, an “unequivocal condemnation of the violence targeted at the Rohingya People”, and that this message “is becoming more urgent by the day”.
