New Rohingya groups rubbishes ‘baseless’ claim by Myanma

The Burmese Rohingya Association in Thailand has cautioned the international community not to fall for the “baseless accusation” hurled by the Myanmar government in linking the persecuted Rohingya community with militant organisations.

Its president, Maung Kyaw Nu rubbished Yangon’s allegation of a link between the Rohingya and militancy as complete fabrication, solely aimed at garnering regional and international sympathy.

“This (allegation by the Myanmar government) is completely made up by the government, a statement that was fabricated to divert attention and provide its forces with false justification for violence against the Rohingyas (atrocities in Rakhine state),” he told Bernama here recently.
