Mr. Thomas Quintana urged the parliament to amend the 1982 Myanmar Citizenship Law, equal citizen’s rights to all nationals.

The United Nations’ Special Rapporteur for Human Rights to Myanmar, Mr. Thomas Quintana, says he has urged the parliament again to amend the 1982 MyanmarCitizenship Law to give equal citizen’s rights to all nationals.
He made the demand during a meeting with local and foreign media yesterday.
“Dialogues with mutual respect would not emerge as long as there are discriminations based onnational citizenship and faith,” Quintana said. “That’s why I want to reiterate that the parliamentshould amend the 1982 citizenship law so that everyone in the country can have equal rights to become citizens.”
He said he got no single word of promise to amend the law but urged government officials to continue possible measures to do that.
This is the seventh time the UN envoy has come to Myanmar. While in the country, he traveled to conflict areas and refugees camps in Rakhine and Kachin states and visited the prisons.
He also visited some political prisoners, one of whom was Dr Tun Aung from Sittwe Prison in Rakhine State. Dr Tun Aung is serving a 12-year jail term after being charged with his alleged involvement in the riots between Rakhine nationals and Bengalis in June last year.
“I assume he (Dr Tun Aung) is also a prisoner of conscience. We discussed that if he was released, how he would serve as a bridge to have negotiations between these two societies,” Quintana said.
He also expressed his disappointment over the government’s continued detention of four INGO staff members in Rakhine State without clear charges against them.
For the involvement in the Rakhine conflicts, 811 Bengalis and 137 nationals are under arrest but they don’t reportedly include women and children.

Immigration Control, Corruption & Education in Burma
Burma Democratic Concern(BDC) call for Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International to call for British government to grant all stateless people in UK as the British Citizenship regardless of their background.
July 11, 2012 — Burma Democratic Concern (BDC)
We understand that Human Rights Watch is based in USA, a democratic country. We understand that Human Rights Watch is said to be working for promoting Human Rights around the world.
We also understand that Amnesty International HQ is based in London, UK. We are very concerned about the STATELESS PEOPLE in UK.
We call for Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International to call for British government to grant all stateless people in UK as the British Citizenship regardless of their background.
UK citizenship law is not in line with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS Article 15 clearly stated that
(1) Everyone has the right to a nationality.
(2) No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his nationality nor denied the right to change his nationality.
But, British Government says you cannot be a BRITISH citizen EVEN if you were born in the UK to parents who are not British citizens and are not legally settled in UK.
Even if you were born in the United Kingdom, you will not be a British citizen if neither of your parents was a British citizen or legally settled here at the time of your birth.
This means you are not a British citizen if, at the time of your birth, your parents were in the country temporarily, had stayed on without permission, or had entered the country ILLEGALLY and had not been given permission to stay here indefinitely.
We had believed that UK is a democratic country respecting human rights. It is hypocritical of seeing British immigration laws which are not in line with basic human rights. We call for all genuine human rights organisations to pressure UK government to change British citizenship law.
CALL @ THESE INGOS CALLING CHANGING CITIZENSHIP LAW FOR Bengali Rohingyas
BDC Burma@ We would like to call for all the ORGANISATIONS calling for BURMA to change 1982 Citizenship law to also call for their respective governments to CHANGE their respective citizenship laws. Please see the case study of UK immigration law. UK Immigration department (UKBA) says you cannot be a BRITISH citizen EVEN if you were born in the UK to parents who are not British citizens and are not legally settled in UK. Even if you were born in the United Kingdom, you will not be a British citizen if neither of your parents was a British citizen or legally settled here at the time of your birth. This means you are not a British citizen if, at the time of your birth, your parents were in the country temporarily, had stayed on without permission, or had entered the country ILLEGALLY and had not been given permission to stay here indefinitely. Before you all say something to other nation’s affair, look at your own nations’ immigration laws.
Why don’t we do the group called BRINGING ALL ROHINGYA STATELESS PEOPLE FROM BURMA TO UK which will lobby UK Government to change UK citizenship law, respect human rights and grant UK citizenship.
