Canadian lawyer defends himself for researching crimes against Rohingya in Myanmar, then representing the country at International Court of Justice

"William Schabas is basically selling out the Rohingya for some Myanmar gov't $$$. Really the worst sort of behaviour, how totally immoral and two-faced," Phil Robertson, Deputy Asia Director at Human Rights Watch said..

The military government that has quietened the 60 millions population for five decades, wisely pretends to be uncontrollable the situation while local media are still trying to neglect the ongoing violences by repeating a fabricated murder case of individual.

Despite the quasi-civilian government lessly described to fancily balanced up the death toll and destruction numbers,

in reality the death toll is more than (10,000) people, burned and destructed about (22,000) houses plus (92) mosques from hundred muslim villages across (9) different towns of Arakan state. While the number of injuries, rapes, looting, arbitrary abuses is uncountable. About 150,000 homeless Rohingyas in Sittwe/Akyab alone but less than half of them have been listed in five refugee camps and receiving very poor assistance.

The rest about 50,000 shelter-less mulsim victims comprising Rohingyas, Kaman and Rakhine muslims in 7 other towns- Maundaw, Rathedaung, Kyauktaw, Pauktaw, Rambre, Myebon and Ponnagyuan towns are still compelled to die with starvation. The rest of the Arakanese muslims in all over Arakan state are also facing critical food shortage from the beginning as a result of the government still impose confinement on them and Rakhine people are still allowed to carry vigillant attacks...
