United Nations Human Rights
The United Nations had termed the Arakan Muslims in Myanmar as the most oppressed minority.

Thousands of the Muslims in Arakan, Myanmar had been killed during the last a few weeks but no one left a finger.

There is no mention of the happenings in Myanmar in the mass media what so ever. Although people are being murdered just because they belong to a certain sect.

"Burmese Government does not consider Rohingya Muslims as citizens and are hated by the Buddhists. Rohingyans have long demanded recognition as an indigenous ethnic group with full citizenship by birthright, claiming a centuries-old lineage in Rakhine. But the Government regards them as illegal immigrants from neighbouring Bangladesh and denies them citizenship.

UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in Myanmar, Tomás Ojea Quintana, said at a recent visit to Myanmar, discrimination against the Muslim community, particularly the Rohingyas in Rakhine State, was the root cause of the violence, stressing the need for the authorities to take steps to address “long-standing issues of deprivation of citizenship, freedom of movement, and other fundamental rights” for the Rohingyas."
