Burma Task Force has received very recent, very troubling news from the border between Bangladesh and Burma; the Burmese military is threatening the thousands of Rohingya stranded there and trying to force them back deeper into Rakhine State, where they are at risk of extermination. We have contacted local officials and are closely monitoring the situation.

Burma Task Force congratulates the organizers of last week’s Rohingya Conference at the Jewish Museum in Berlin. Though Burmese government spokesmen denounced it, and cars of participants were vandalized, it was a successful event.
