This was a proud and deeply emotional moment. Standing outside the #ICJ alongside the @Gambia_MOJ legal team and the #Rohingya delegation.
We are deeply grateful to The #Gambia, and the 11 other intervening States, for standing with us. After bearing witness to the hearings this week, one thing is beyond all doubt: the intent behind the crimes committed against our community was to entirely erase us.
Also clear is that it is the voices of Rohingya survivors, refusing to be silenced and erased, that are driving justice and accountability for the genocide against our community.
Justice is slow, but it will be delivered.

VIDEO: 🇧🇩 🇲🇲 Rohingya hope UN genocide hearing can bring justice
In Bangladesh's sprawling Rohingya camps of Cox's Bazar, where more than a million refugees live in squalid conditions, there's hope a court thousands of miles away could bring justice. A landmark case accusing Myanmar of committing genocide against the Rohingya opened on Monday at the United Nations' top court
The Permanent Mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the United Nations has submitted an urgent letter to the Security Council at midnight local time, vehemently condemning the United States’ unlawful and reckless bombing of Iran’s nuclear facilities. The United States and the bloodthirsty Zionist Regime of Israel shall be held fully accountable for these flagrant violations of international law and must face the grave consequences thereof.
“If Muslim nations don’t unite now, each one of them will face the same fate.”
Pakistan has expressed its full support for Iran and called for “Muslim unity against Israel” in the aftermath of the ongoing attacks.

I have returned to Cox’s Bazar to shine a global spotlight on the plight of more than one million Rohingya refugees – but also their potential.
They are proud. They are resilient.
And they need the world’s support.
I thank @ChiefAdviserGoB Muhammad Yunus, the interim government and the people of Bangladesh for their warm welcome.
As the country undergoes important reforms and transitions, you can count on the @UN to help build a sustainable and equitable future for all.
Here’s a rape victim sharing her account: Arakan Army (AA) militants gang-raped her in front of her husband and children. They then slaughtered her husband.
“Two guys were holding my hands tightly. Some others hit me on my chest and belly, and my children were crying. Some tore my clothes and touched my private parts. Then they raped me,”

So called revolutionary Arakan Army (AA) cut three fingers of an elderly #Rohingya man in Maungdaw. AA tortured him in the detaintion for 3 months.
Hope you all remember these Rohingya community used to show (Three Fingers) during #SpringRevolution of #Myanmar.

04 Rohingya Babies dead bodies were recovered from Leda Naf riverbank,Now the bodies are at the East riverbank of Salt field Lada BGB check post.
It's learnt that there may be found more dead bodies,are missing and these are yesterday's drowned boat Rohingya,
Very saddened to hear approximately 30 people lost their lives in boat capsized while attempting to escape from Maungdaw.
While the whole country is suffering and being targeted by military junta and it is vital to know that the suffering of Rohingya is different from the suffering of others from gravity , intensity , shape and acceleration stand point.
It only requirs common sense and sympathy to distinguish the level of suffering of “if a stick is falling on a unhealed bloody wound and the level a stick is falling on normal part of body”. The Rohingya in Rakhine state are “Genocide” survivors and living in a open air prison since 1992 with movement of restrictions et.. .
