[Music]
what happened was a relatively
sophisticated cover-up what does that
mean does I mean that there was no
massacre that meaning that the UN didn't
have enough facts Mussolini a joke of I
mean the deal was in castle orlova yeah
[Music]
in May of 2015 a mass grave of over 30
bodies was uncovered in an abandoned
human trafficking camp in southern
Thailand the site is believed to be one
of many dotting the area these graves
are at the end of an intricate
transnational human trafficking around
that has its origins in an ethnic
conflict and state-sanctioned depression
and mayhem are that has reached alarming
new heights since 2012 in recent years
hundreds of millions of dollars have
been made in Southeast Asia by selling
desperate people as property with
thousands held for ransom and makeshift
jungle prison camps and at times
tortured enslaved or killed all of it
done with the cooperation of
high-ranking officials from multiple
governments and as internal United
Nations documents obtained by Vice news
show concerns regarding crimes against
humanity and the potential for
additional mass atrocities are being
swept under the rug in favour of
political expediency meanwhile
investments have been pouring into
Myanmar and the country has been called
the last big economic frontier the US
State Department has even championed the
democratic reforms as a major success
story we fully recognize and embrace the
progress that has taken place but while
the world focuses on the mr-s transition
toward democracy the government has
actually enacted a system of apartheid
in regards to an ethnic Muslim minority
called the road engine
[Music]
there's been a lot of excitement over
what's been happening in Miami at the
past few years as reforms have swept the
country and the people have been granted
a whole lot more freedom but here we're
kind state things are pretty different
though we're hinge of people have been
rounded up into squalid camps where
they've languished for years we met up
with a real Hindu community leader named
Hong Ling in a camp near Seaway why do
you think the government is doing this
to the Ranger so government is a still
doing nothing for the Ranger they were
there they declare that though there is
no Rohingya so they do not want to talk
about with the Ranger so we were
separated and we have no one to have us
you know so we all have no future here
according to the government you and your
people you don't exist
yeah according with the government
policy we cannot assist and you know in
Yama as a ranger people so we are not
the original like any human being there
Jesus as al animal they have no hope
here no job nothing nothing you know
mention the situation
I am also facing very difficulties here
so my family serving I'm leaving here
what is my family life you can't see
them we are not allowed to go free to
wrangle so how can I reunite with my
friend in all of the camps were hinge of
face heavy restrictions and are
forbidden from leaving the camp's have
been referred to as refugee camps or
internally displaced persons camps but
they are essentially internment camps
we're heading to an area called Pacquiao
the situation there especially quite
drastic because it's far out of the way
most people don't get there and access
is restricted the gate Chong camp near
Pacquiao is about an hour boat ride from
the nearest city and just one of the
many camps where ohanga are forced to
live under the strict control of the
government
[Music]
there were hinge up our Muslim minority
concentrated most American state and
across the border in Bangladesh
[Music]
they've long suffered discrimination at
the hands of the government who see them
as foreign invaders despite their long
history of living in the area in 2012
the gang rape and murder of a reclined
Buddhist girl sparked a bloody conflict
between the Muslim or Hindu and the
Buddhists behind people who make up the
majority of her kind state historic
ethnic tensions between the groups were
surfaced and the confidence spiraled out
of control entire villages were burned
to the ground as both groups attack each
other
even more troubling the police and state
officials largely stood by and in some
cases participated in the attacks on the
road engine the destruction left tens of
thousands of our hinge a homeless and
resulted in what Human Rights Watch has
called ethnic cleansing a hundred forty
thousand were hinge Oh were moved into
government bill camps and the mass
displacement has given way to a new set
of human rights abuses
if you look out there's there's just
these camps and and nothing anywhere
else has a very end of the earth type
feel here right now the camps receive
little aid foreign NGOs who work with
oranga face severe restrictions some
have been attacked by reckon extremists
and others have been forced out of the
region here in get Chong there have been
shortages of basic needs like clean
water and food and there are barely any
medical services available can you tell

gently what the attempt at that since
when I want more ever nas's uncle passed
away shortly after abuses against this
population have been going on for
decades so we're talking about forced
labor killings torture going back to
1982 the government of Myanmar stripped
or a hinge of their citizenship status
so they now constitute the world's
largest stateless population within a
given country's borders Matthew Smith is
the founder and executive director of
fortify rights a non-profit human rights
organization that documents abuses
against the religion is the governance
of Nia are they complicit in this
the government would love for the world
to believe that what's happening in
Rakhine State is a situation of communal
violence nothing could be further from
the truth
the the abuses that we've documented and
the abuses that have been happening for
decades these are abuses by the state
and in some cases the abuses go straight
to the top so we're talking about key
government ministers we're talking about
the highest levels of government in
Myanmar it is a police state it's fair
to say that it's a it's an apartheid
state particularly northern reclined
state there are roads for Buddhists
roads for Muslims Muslims are not
allowed to leave their village without
permission and in Rakhine State the
government seems to be preparing to keep
their oranga in these camps much longer
we're in the entrance area to the camps
behind me is a new Police Battalion an
area that's being built where battalion
will be staying you can see that that
they're not really planning on having
the right he'll leave the camp's anytime
soon which leads into the fact that
people think that they're here they're
permanently outside of the camps the
city of sittwe moves along with one
major difference
no more row hinge a live there except
for those in a fenced off ghetto away
from the center of town fear and
distrust of the rehén juh is commonplace
some Buddhist meam are fear a Muslim
population boom and see the raw hinges
as illegal immigrants from Bangladesh
hell-bent on taking over their country
and threatening its Buddhist identity a
small number of our kind Buddhists also
lost their homes in the 2012 fighting
and we headed to the fairly well kept
camps they live to talk with them about
the situation
Mokomoko banana business the woman is
the public ownership of ovale the

that the two communities could ever live
together in peace again by Libba pero no
quitter I become re to Navarro no one we

through here and so in a cooling reach
around you steps head down I mean
reversion okay jomama vineyard but where
exactly has this fear come from some
political and religious leaders
including Buddhist monks have spread
distrust of Muslims in an effort to
increase their popularity and push
people towards a more hardline stance
and towards more hardline political
groups though is influences waned
we're--aw to a Buddhist monk who serves
as a spiritual leader of the popular
Buddhist extremist political
organization ma bata has been one of the
most vocal anti-islam proponents
