The most honorable

Country Representative (UNHCR)

Dhaka, House # NE (N)

Road # 90, Gulshan – 02,Dhaka – 1212. Bangladesh.

Your  Excellencies,

We extremely sorry to place before you the followings:

We under signed of the application beg to state that we are aboriginal & genuine registered refugees of UNHCR & GOB have been staying in the camps under your better co-operation, legal protection and assistance since 1992.

We have fled from Myanmar to Bangladesh for reasons of variety of persecutions and oppressions of Myanmar Military Junta as per on many grounds. We the Rohingya are being tortured and racial and religious stubborn discriminated for the reasons of races, religion, nationality and a social membership of political opinions etc. So, we have established well-founded fear of persecutions in our minds that we are intolerable really. However, the Arakan state of Burma is our old millennium country and native place & home land.

On 1992 when we fled, we were registered by GOB & UNHCR with the real names of our races and country by per our original & genuine state name is Arakan state of Burma and races name is Rohingya. So, we were registered according to these names with and written in our valid and supportive documents F/B similar to getting approval of Bangladesh Govt, are still remaining in our hands.

Later, our original & genuine names have been gradually changed and started force repatriation to Myanmar by the GOB & UNHCR. Hence, knowing of that attitude, we have made up hunger strike on 12^th April 1999 in order to establish and remains our mentioned names and the demands of stopping force repatriation in spite of we are peace-loving and law-abiding registered refugees.

For the regards, we become ration refuse families (R.R.F) instead of we are ration deprived families (R.D.F). So, we are very sorry for the situation. Now, we are ready for receiving ration foods if the GOB &UNHCR fulfill our demands perfectly. Really, we are being quiet deprived from our ration foods entitlement rights since the time of strike. Presently, we have no place to take refuse in and no direction one is facing or moving towards.

Nowadays, we are seeking our ration foods entitlement and the status of profile verification & registration and fulfill our said demands according to refugee/human rights by adapting the Geneva Convention of 1951 and 1967 protocol.

Eventually, for the fact, we are being not only deprived & violated from our fundamental rights but also deprived and violated from the rights of education, treatment and child rights dreadfully that all because of head of sub office and protection officers of UNHCR Cox’s Bazar since the period of strike. Also, we are being violated from our refugees and human rights instead of humanitarian agencies are presenting in the operation. So, fighting hunger worldwide and call upon joint seminar of with you all to find out realities.

That’s why, essentially we are looking for human aids and we hopefully urged & all upon UN, EU, GOB, stake-holders, donor countries, world authoritative & competent countries, OIC, Human Right Watch, foundation house survivor on torture, Amnesty International, Asian countries and other who it may concerned to follow up the case to provide possible legal solution & resolution.

We, therefore, looking forward for your kind consideration and attention with having your excellencies sharp and deep sympathy over the prayed facts to fulfill and ensured our legal demands  and certainly regularize our ration foods entitlement and obliged thereby as soon as we are utmost feeble and vulnerable  stateless and homeless refugees. Thanks a lot.

Here with our demands are given below for your kind perusal:

• Our races/ethnics and state names should be Rohingya and Arakan state of Burma in our UNHCR & GOB provided documents.
• We the registered refugees should be lived in the Bangladesh according to criterion or option no-2 of refugees rights, that is by attaining local integrity until and unless our requisitions of repatriation are fulfilled and guaranteed by the Govt of Myanmar.
