Hoseh liao! Myanmar erects security structures atop burned land

Myanmar is building security installations on top of razed Rohingya villages, Amnesty International said Monday, casting doubt on the country's plans to repatriate hundreds of thousands of refugees.

Nearly 700,000 Rohingya Muslims have fled northern Rakhine state to Bangladesh since Myanmar launched a crackdown on terrorists six months ago.

A new Amnesty report, "Remaking Rakhine State," uses satellite imagery and interviews to point to a rapid increase in military infrastructure and other construction since the start of the year that researchers say amounts to a "land grab".

"The new evidence and the rebuilding that Amnesty has documented in our latest research shows that the Myanmar authorities are building over the top of the very places the Rohingya need to return to," Tirana Hassan, Amnesty's crisis response director, told AFP ahead of the report's release on Monday.
"In some instances there has been the destruction of existing homes."

Though admitting the images only paint a partial picture, the rights group says structures for security forces, helipads and even roads have been built in and around torched Rohingya properties.

Rohingya came from Bangladesh so I see no reason why they should be allowed to live in Burma indefinitely. All countries have laws that allow for the arrest and repatriation of illegals back to where they came from. Why should Burma be forced to be any different?

I think Rohingya has to be blamed for harbouring terrorist. Once bitten, twice shy and Myanmar has no other option except to do what they did? I doubt Aung San Suu Kyi is a bad person unless she was forced under extreme tight situation.
