Email US Politicians To Support Rohingya Repatriation

Thanks for give such as meaningful and important opportunity to take apart in this petition campaign. For decades, we Rohingya have endured systemic discrimination, violence, and denial of citizenship in Myanmar’s Arakan (Rakhine) State. Denied rights under the 1982 Citizenship Law, we remain one of the largest stateless populations in the world. In 2017, over 740,000 Rohingya fled Myanmar to escape killings, sexual violence, forced labor, and widespread destruction of our communities.

I hope this message finds you well.

I am writing to urgently appeal for the release of Rohingya refugees currently detained in prisons in Malaysia. These individuals are victims of genocide who fled their homeland in search of safety, protection, and a better future. They should not be treated as criminals for seeking refuge.

The detainees are living in extremely difficult and unsafe conditions, without proper access to basic necessities such as clean drinking water and adequate healthcare. Their continued detention is causing serious harm to their physical and mental well-being.

In addition, their families—especially their parents—are suffering deeply. Many parents have waited for more than seven years without any information about their children. They do not know whether their sons are alive or dead. Some parents have passed away in this pain and uncertainty, while others continue to suffer from stress, illness, and emotional distress due to the long separation and lack of communication.

We respectfully urge UNHCR Malaysia to take immediate humanitarian action by advocating for the release of these Rohingya refugees, ensuring their protection, and supporting access to their basic human rights. We also request assistance in helping families receive information about the condition and status of their detained relatives.

This is not only a matter of policy but a matter of humanity, dignity, and justice.

Thank you for your time and consideration. We sincerely hope for a compassionate and prompt response.

Yours sincerely,
Hashiur Rahaman
