The Burmese Government banned all the Religious High School termed as Maddarasa since sectarian violence of last June, 2012. Nobody can acquire and teach religious study. There are also so many Religious Basic Education Schools called Maqtab where children learn how to read Quran, how to perform five times prayer in a day and learn all the obligatory points of a Muslim in Islam. Unless proper basic education of Islam, no one can know what is Islam.

Burmese authority banned all the Religiuos Basic Education Schools in Saheb Bazar, Fokira Bazar, and all belonging villages of Nasaka Areas number one and two under the tract of Maungdaw Township, Arakan. The Burmese authority is going to demolish all the Muslim Religious Activities in the soil of Arakan, Burma. There is no permission to perform prayer in the Mosque unlike the global countries.

The Border Security Forces, Nasaka kill, rape, mass arrest, harasses torture and extort money with sort of false allegations to defenseless Rohingya in Arakan every day. Home place is a hell for every Rohingya to be survival more. This is a cordial request to International community to step forward to save Rohingya life as a right of Human Being.

Irrawaddy News: July 9, 2013 A group of American Buddhists has launched an English-language website promoting the 969 movement, in response to negative media surrounding the ultra-nationalist Buddhist campaign in Burma. The website aims to dispel “myths” about the movement, with a letter from nationalist monk Wirathu to a Time magazine reporter whose article about 969 was banned in Burma. “We’re not officially endorsed by Ven Wirathu at this time but will send a delegation to his monastery soon,” a spokesperson for the site said via email, adding that the group would create a nonprofit to coordinate “969 activities worldwide in response to religious oppression.”
