If this is not apartheid, then what is it?
If this is not religious persecution, then what is it??
Army personnel terrorized peaceful Chakma Buddhist ceremony in Dighinala, Khagrachari under Chittagong hill tracts. Bangladesh.

Today a Muslim settler assaulted and badly injured an indigenous Marma woman in Khagrachhari district, Bangladesh.
He was later arrested by police.
A potential rapist Bengali settler was caught harassing a Chakma girl in Rangamati, Chittagong hill tracts, Bangladesh.
They will bargain a thousand times over a few taka with a street vendor.
The Chakma lady seller from Rangamati, CHT is clearly agitated and has repeatedly told this settler that she does not want to sell to him. Yet he keeps bothering her.
They come as tourists, but them stealing fruits from the local Indigenous people are happening daily. Typical attitude.
Happened today.
Location: Bandarban, Chittagong hill tracts.
Dipen Dewan, a Chakma politician & the Minister of CHT Affairs, resigned today citing ill health, though many believe he had disagreements with Mir Helal, a non-CHT Bengali minister in the same ministry, over several CHT issues.
Better to resign than become a puppet. Salute!
A Chakma boy died in Rangamati after a mango tree fell on him on 27 May evening.
His parents tried to bring his body to their rented home but the Bangla Hindu landlord refused it.
A nearby Chakma village stepped forward & the boy’s body taken there.
Some Hindu rules are shit.
Muslims are dreaming of converting us. Just remember: when the Chakmas were fighting the Mughals, Bengalis were busy licking their boots.

**Top 5 dangerous places for Buddhists (persecution/violence reports):**
1. China (Tibet: severe government controls on monasteries, reeducation of monks/nuns, bans on Dalai Lama devotion, surveillance/destruction of sites)
2. Bangladesh (Chittagong Hill Tracts: land grabs, temple attacks/vandalism, massacres by settlers/security forces, ongoing indigenous Jumma violence)
3. Afghanistan (Taliban restrictions on non-Muslims, historical site destruction e.g. Bamiyan)
4. Pakistan (blasphemy law misuse, discrimination/attacks on small minority communities)
5. Thailand (southern provinces: Muslim insurgency targeting Buddhist monks, temples, civilians)
Which group next (Jains/Christians/etc.)?
Bengali Muslim settler harassed a Chakma woman seller for social media content in Rangamati, Chittagong hill tracts, Bangladesh.
Such a disgusting attitude these people have.
Let me ask you who provides arms, training to those Rohingya islamic terrorist groups?
How Ata Ullahs and other islamic terrorists keep abducting and killing Buddhist civilians not only in Burma but also in Ramu, Teknaf in BD?
The answer: BANGLADESH ARMY
I join members of the @FortifyRights Leadership Council along with Rohingya-led groups in calling on the Office of the Prosecutor at the International Criminal Court to seek an arrest warrant for Ata Ullah, leader of the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA).
Under Ata Ullah's command, ARSA has killed, abducted, and tortured Rohingya civilians in Myanmar and Bangladesh. These atrocity crimes demand accountability. The ICC must act. Read our full statement below.

Yesterday, Chakma woman in Dhaka, Bangladesh was harassed by a Bengali man who mocked her by saying “Chung-Chang”, a slur targeting people with East Asian features from the Chittagong Hill Tracts.
The brave woman confronted him and taught him a lesson.

In Bangladesh, 9,000 civilian volunteers have been called up by the government to train in arms and combat skills to keep India in check, while India is busy patting Yunus on the back.

Imagine living in a country as part of an indigenous minority of fewer than one million people, where you are surrounded by these people 24/7, and rape, killings, and land grabbing are state-sponsored.
সর্বমিত্র চাকমা নিজের সৎসাহস নিয়ে ঢাকা বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়ের ক্যাম্পাসে যে আমূল পরিবর্তনের অঙ্গীকারবদ্ধ তা আপাতদৃষ্টিতে ফাটাকেষ্ট হলেও পরোক্ষভাবে অনেককেই দৃঢ়ভাবে কাজ করার উতসাহ জোগাবে।
Be careful - Bengalis might claim they’ve been living in Portugal for 4,000 years, just like they do for the Chittagong Hill Tracts.
🇵🇹🔥 No dia 18 de Janeiro vamos abanar este País.
Sem medo. Isto não é o Bangladesh! Portugal é uma Nação livre, soberana e orgulhosa da sua História.
Chega de governos e presidentes que tratam os portugueses como parvos é nos metem sempre em segundo lugar!
Chega de humilhação nacional.
💪 O Povo vai falar alto e claro.
E quando o Povo acorda, nada o pára.
#CHEGA #18DeJaneiro #PortugalAcorda #PortugalPrimeiro 🇵🇹✊

#Bangladesh should immediately review and overturn the unjust sentence of Michael Chakma, an Indigenous rights & political activist, to 8 years in prison. Michael was forcibly disappeared in DGFI’s notorious secret detention site for 5 years and tortured under the previous government. The Interim Gov’t and @ChiefAdviserGoB must protect victims of disappearances and end the weaponization of criminal laws to silence peaceful dissent.
Bangladesh Army personnel forcibly took coconuts from indigenous Marma villagers in Bandarban district, paying only 30 taka per coconut, far below the actual market price.
They also take chickens, cows & goats from the Buddhist villagers on a daily basis without paying any price.
Update:
In a rare twist of fate, a fire caused by an electrical fault, gutted 17 shops owned by muslim settlers last night in Guimara, Khagrachhari, Bangladesh. Days earlier, these settlers, alongside Bangladesh Army, were involved in an massacre on indigenous communities.
Follow Up
A Marma villager described the massacre that took place:
"So far, six bodies have been cremated, and many of the wounded have been sent to the hospital. Unknown numbers of people are still missing."
