I am saddened to learn of the news report below. Rohingyas are denied any rights within Myanmar. They don't have the freedom to move or being transported from one place to another. Still the world simply watches without taking hard measures against the genocidal Myanmar government.

Yangon – A truck carrying 21 Rohingya from camps in Rakhine State was intercepted by police at Sarmalauk in Nyaungdon Township in Ayeyawaddy Region yesterday afternoon.
According to the initial investigation, the drivers of the six-wheel truck, Tin Tun Aung and Tun Tun Naing, were taking the Rohingya to Yangon, Myanmar’s commercial center, when they were stopped by police just before entering the capital.
“They were transporting 21 Rohingya hidden under a tarpaulin. We have detained the drivers as well as the Rohingya at the police station. The drivers said they picked them up in Gwa, but some of the Rohingya who can speak Burmese said they were from camps in Kyaukphyu. Investigations are still underway,” a duty officer at the police station said.
The Rohingya included 12 men, six women, one boy and two girls. The police also seized the truck.
The case is still under investigation and legal action will be taken against the suspects in line with the law, the police said.
On Oct. 18 last year, police intercepted a truck leaving Minbya in Rakhine State at the Oakpon Check-point in Kyangin Township and found seven Rohingya hidden among paddy bags. The drivers and the Rohingya in that instance were also prosecuted.
