ERC,
a non-governmental organization, was formed by the Rohingyas living in 12
different European nations at the end of the two-day convention held in Denmark
from 6th to 7th October, 2012. It was formed with urgency in order to make a
strong and unified voice to draw the attention of international community
towards the genocide being committed against Rohingyas, and their decades of
sufferings both in their homeland and neighboring countries. ERC is comprised
of around a hundred members with 12 council members, 8 secretariats and an
advisory board. Since inception ERC is actively working with other Rohingya and
non-Rohingya organizations around the world.

Situation
of Rohingya in Arakan, Burma (Myanmar)
There
is no let-up in the genocidal campaign started against the Rohingya minority on
8th June 2012 by Rakhine extremists and their masters in the Burmese army. In
some places persecution has in fact increased though they are not done openly.
State government is fully complicit in these crimes because it is consistently
instigating violence against Rohingyas by various means. As a result thousands
of innocent Rohingyas have lost their lives, and everything they owned. But the
persecution doesn’t stop there because extremists has decided to cleanse the
Rohingyas from the soil of Arakan which means they will press on with their
agenda as long as there remains Rohingyas on the soil of Arakan.
We
Rohingyas cannot remain inactive while enemies are using every method to
exterminate us. We, The European Rohingya Council (ERC), have therefore decided
to stage a three-day demonstration in front of the European Commission in
Brussels, Belgium from 21st January to 23rd January 2013 (3 days from 13:00 to
15:00 Hrs), in order to draw the attention of the European communities towards
our plights.
The
European Rohingya Council (ERC) is inviting and requesting every Rohingya and
peace loving people to join hand and make our voice stronger. We strongly
believe that your participation in the aforementioned demonstration can save
the loss of innocent lives.
Sincerely
Zakaria
Abdul Rahim
Secretary
General
The
European Rohingya Council (ERC)
