We call on the US government to declare that Burma will never be a true democracy so long as it has stripped the Rohingya of their full citizenship rights.
Background: In February 2015, the Burmese government stripped the right to vote from roughly 1 million of its people, mostly ethnic Rohingya. The Rohingya are victims of severe human rights violation at the hands of the Burmese government.
But the international community, including the US government, continues to praise the upcoming Burmese election as a critical moment in Burma’s transition to democracy. Instead, the US and the international community must demand that the Burmese government immediately restore Rohingya citizenship and voting rights.
The international community and US should not be satisfied with a sham, with cruel illusion of democracy, as that would damage the cause of democracy everywhere.

With greetings of Peace,
On behalf of Burma Task Force - USA, I am extending our sincere appreciation of your moral support. We exceeded our original goal and you definitely made a difference. At BTF- USA, we are hopeful that we can continue to rely on you. As you may know, BTF's commitment is to deal with the root cause of the Rohingya issue, that is, to stop the Rohinyga persecution, restore their citizenship, and guarantee them equal rights as required by international law. We have registered the following successes:
I am personally hopeful and convinced that as long as we continue our advocacy for the Rohingya, together we shall restore their rights for them, God willing.
