缅甸：担心穆斯林和佛教徒之间暴力冲突 Burma: Fears of Long-Term Segregation Following Buddhist-Muslim Violence

一个主要的人权组织警告说，如果缅甸不采取措施帮助罗兴亚族穆斯林难民返回家园，就可能形成宗教信众长期隔离局面。

去年，缅甸西部若开邦的穆斯林和佛教徒之间爆发致命冲突后，大约10万罗兴亚人流离失所。几个月后，这些难民仍然居住在生活条件恶劣的难民营，与其他居民隔绝，而且政府安全部队不准他们离开难民营。

人权观察星期三发表报告说，缅甸政府没有努力帮助这些罗兴亚难民返回家园，使人们更加担心当局有意使缅甸族群形成长期隔离的局面。人权观察说，在若开邦首府实兑市，穆斯林完全处于隔离状态。

缅甸官员曾经表示，这种隔离是暂时的，而且为了避免该地区骚乱加剧，隔离是必要的，该地区针对穆斯林的歧视很常见。人权观察说，缅甸当局没有为族群和解以及帮助难民重新融入社会制定充分的计划。


A top human rights group is warning that Burma is in danger of creating a long-term state of religious segregation if it does not take steps to resettle minority Rohingya Muslim refugees.

About 100,000 Rohingya were displaced following a deadly outbreak of Muslim-Buddhist violence last year in western Rakhine state. Months later, the refugees remain in poorly supplied camps, cut off from the rest of the population and prevented from leaving by government security forces.

In a report Wednesday, Human Rights Watch says the government's failure to make efforts to return displaced Rohingya "heightens concerns of a long-term intent to segregate the population." In the city of Sittwe, the capital of Rakhine state, it says the Muslim population is now "completely segregated."
