The European Rohingya Council has urged Myanmar's government led by Nobel Peace laureate Aung San Suu Kyi to uphold democratic principles and the rule of law.
"The council and the Rohingya community are deeply surprised and saddened by Suu Kyi-led government’s move in the footsteps of [the] previous Thein Sein led quasi-civilian government forcing Rohingya to self-identify as illegal immigrants by issuing so-called National Verification Card (NVC)," the council said in a written statement.
Identifying as illegal immigrants was a project that was "assumed by the Rohingya community as one of the genocidal tools pursued by previous military governments,” the council said, and the current civilian government recently restarted the project of a stateless Rohingya in some cities in Rakhine State.
