Thirty Five Years Old Rohingya Fazal Ahmed s/o Sultan Ahmed Who Has Faced Critical Disease In The Own TownShip Which Called Ponnagyun Township ,Sittwe.
The Muslims Community Requested Access Permission To Get Proper Medical Treatment From The Sittwe General Hospital But The State Government Refused to Admit to the hospital because The victims Is A Rohingya Muslims So The Patient Died On Accout Of The Ignorance Of Myanmar Government' Authorities.
It Is Not The First Time Discrimination Over The Rohingya Muslims,In 2013, 20 Muslims Were Pull Out From The General Hospital By Hlun Htein ( Police ).
Rakhinese Buddhist mobs, armed with sticks, poles and swords
threatened to kill all Muslim patients sent there By
INGO’s. They warned the doctors not to treat them.
Doctors discharged the patients, stating that they could
not be held responsible for their safety.
Police took the 10 patients and their caregivers from the
hospital and made a brief stop in Aung Mingalar before
taking them to their final destination, the Man Si
(Bawdupha) camps. These camps are used for
Rohingyas who become displaced due to violence. There
will be no medical treatment for them there.
Local villagers in Aung Mingalar gave them some food
and water. They took a list of names of the people. Those
who were able, took photos and hunched over their
overheating cell phones, sending emails and social media
messages, trying to get the word out of the injustice. This
act is a punishable offence for Rohingyas.
The villagers interviewed them. The displaced patients
said that despite being taken to the hospital by UN
members, they had been in the hospital for many days
without treatment and little food. One said that they
received two cups of tea and two pieces of cake per day.
One said that they had been without any food for four
days. Women who had gone to the hospital for deliveries
gave birth to still born babies. At least one other is
pregnant now and need serious medical attention. Some
are suffering from disease. When asked about the women
who had had their babies die,one villager told RB News
“It’s most of the time happened in the (Sittwe General)
Hospital as they don’t want any Muslims to be born and
delivered.”
Rohingya Muslims in Rakhine (Arakan) state are not
permitted to visit local hospitals. Sittwe General Hospital
has a ward designated for Muslims. Due to to travel
restrictions placed on Rohingyas, it becomes the
responsibility of NGO’s and INGO’s to arrange safe
passage for those in serious need of medical attention.
The mob was supposedly angry with organizations who
they had thought were being biased against them. This, in
reaction to the ICRC (Red Cross) transporting Rohingya
victims of violence while cutting firewood. ICRC
transferred the injured to the hospital in Rakhine state’s
capital. Later, in a separate case of violence with that saw
a 6 women attacked and Rakhine girl killed. The mobs
accuse the ICRC failing to transport the girl for treatment
as they did with the Muslims. The accusation of bias is
fairly dismissible as most of the field workers are
Burmese and Rakhinese. Despite this, on the evening of
the violence, an angry mob march toward the ICRC office
with the ambition to set fire to the building. They were
dispersed by police.
Reactions could be found in many villages. Reportedly,
Chairman of North Rupa Quarter in Sittwe, announced that
no one is to to rent buildings to any NGO’s. Many
Rakhines are calling for the removal of the organizations
from the area.
There were reports of police beating and threatening
Muslims. Pressuring someone to take the blame for the
killing of the Rakhine girl. One man, 27 year old Nur Kabir,
decided that although innocent, would turn himself in to
police the save the villages from the violence.
Fear of Muslims is being propagated all along Rakhine
(Arakan) state by government with the help of anti Muslim
groups. If there is violence against a Buddhist, mobs
demand a Muslim takes the fall for it. When groups try to
help Rohingyas specifically because of the overwhelming
need, it becomes opportunity for these groups to teach
the mindset that the organizations only care for Muslims,
therefore should not be trusted.
Another murder conducted by the doctors in
Myanmar's notorious Sittwe General Hospital
against a Rohingya patient has been recorded
after an 18-year-old pregnant woman was killed
on 24 April 2014.
Zuhra Khatun, who was one of many internally
displaced Rohingyas within Myanmar, was
rushed to a local doctor in her refugee camp in
the town of Sittwe (Akyab) on April 15 after
suffering complications in child birth.
The local doctor was unable to deliver her twin
babies, and quickly referred her to the Sittwe
General Hospital. Her family originally refused,
has doctors at the hospital are known to torture
and kill Rohingya patients, but they had no
other choice.
On her arrival at the hospital, she was told that
her babies had died in her womb and that she
required an operation to remove them. She was
sedated and remained asleep until the next day,
only to wake up covered in scratches and
bruises to her face.
According to a report in Rohingya Vision, the
doctors would then come to agitate the wounds
on her womb using tools while the dead bodies
of her unborn children were thrown in front of
her. She was also denied food and water.
On Thursday, April 24, after torturing the
patient, the doctor gave the young Rohingya
woman a lethal injection. She died shortly
afterwards.
Earlier in April, 28-year-old Hasina Begum, a
Rohingya refugee who had been displaced after
her village was razed to the ground by Buddhist
extremists, arrived at the Sittwe General
Hospital after also suffering complications in
pregnancy. She too was killed after three days of
torture by nurses on the orders of the doctor.
A week later, a five-month-old baby girl died
after suffering an asthma attack because her
family was too afraid to send her to the hospital,
fearing that the doctors would kill her.
Myanmar has been accused of genocide against
the Rohingya, who had their ethnic group
dismissed from a recent census as the state
claims they are Bangladeshis who have illegally
migrated to Myanmar.
Ongoing violence against the community by
Buddhist extremists in the Rakhine State have
forced many of them to risk their lives fleeing
the surrounding countries across dangerous
seas and terrain.
Many of those who survive the dangerous trek
have fallen victim to traffickers who hold them
hostage in remote locations. Many also face
deportation a persecution in the countries
where they seek refuge.
