Rohingya appeal to Amnesty International to intercede with UNHCR

The Rohingya are Burmese Muslims who are spreading out throughout Bangladesh, Malaysia, Thailand and even Pakistan.  They want to be resettled in the West.  Canada has taken some already and maybe we have too, but no one is saying.

Although this plea from Rohingya in Malaysia is confusing, I’m posting it here just to help build our archive on the subject.  I think we are going to need it at some future time.

Apparently this recent complaint and appeal to Amnesty International is aimed at what the Rohingya leaders say is unfair treatment from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.   It seems that UNHCR is telling the Rohingya to assimilate into mostly Muslim Malaysia or return to Burma.  If that is the policy of the UNHCR I commend it!
