  1.Persecution of the Karen People
  Among minority groups in Myanmar (Burma), the Karen are one of the most persecuted minorities. Since 1990 around 2.000 villages have been plundered and burnt to the ground. People are randomly tortured and killed, men and youth kidnapped to be forced porters and living mine detectors, women systematically raped.

  2. Persecution of the Rohingya People
  Another persecuted minorities are the Rohingya. Discrimination against the Rohingya, a Muslim ethnic minority group, is traced back to the government of Ne Win in the 1960, which claimed them as foreigners. They continued to be denied not only Burmese citizenship but as an ethnic group as well as other fundamental human rights by the government. Meanwhile, they face restrictions on freedom of movement across the whole country.
