Malala Yousafzai, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, said that “over the last several years, I have repeatedly condemned this tragic and shameful treatment”, “I am still waiting for my fellow Nobel Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi to do the same. The world is waiting and the Rohingya Muslims are waiting.”
Aung San Suu Kyi, a former political prisoner of Myanmar’s military rulers, and the Nobel Prize winner has perceived unwillingness to speak out against the treatment of the Rohingya or the action of military on Burma Muslims. As the political parties and the negotiations was expecting Aung San to berate about the fight that broke in August.
The Rohingya people, historically also termed Arakanese Indians, are a stateless Indo-Aryan people from Rakhine State, Myanmar. There were an estimated 1 million Rohingya living in Myanmar. Migration from the Indian subcontinent to Myanmar had taken place for centuries, including as part of the spread of Buddhism, Hinduism and Islam in the region. The Rohingya are deprived of the right to free movement and the right to higher education. Due to all of this persecution they have been denied Burmese citizenship since the Burmese nationality law was enacted.

Over the 73,000 Muslims from Rohingya have crossed the border to Bangladesh from Myanmar in the latest wave of violence by the Myanmar military, and the attack is being attempt by a group of Rohingya militants. In 2012 and 2013, the Burmese Muslims have been faced the cruel killing and inhuman behaviour.
Malala says, over the killing of Muslims in Burma: “Over the last several years, I have repeatedly condemned this tragic and shameful treatment,” “I am still waiting for my fellow Nobel Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi to do the same. The world is waiting and the Rohingya Muslims are waiting.”
