A/HRC/39/CRP.2 the current Special Rapporteur, Yanghee Lee, a “bitch” and a “whore”.1558 He later threatened her with violence in response to her report to the United Nations Human Rights Council.1559According to credible reports, there have been instances where ultra-nationalist ethnic Rakhine individuals or organizations have prevented international organizations from delivering aid to Rohingya communities or transferring those in need of medical care to hospitals.1560 6. (a) Overall analysis Relationships between communities before the 2012 violence 724. The problems in Rakhine State are often ascribed to poor relations between the Rohingya and the ethnic Rakhine, reflective of deeply-rooted grievances and prejudices. Yet, the majority of Rohingya and Rakhine interviewed by the Mission on this topic indicated that their relationship with the other community before the 2012 violence was good 1561 or very good.1562 Others stated that there were “no problems” or “no tension” before 2012.1563 Some mentioned having friends from the other community, engaging in various business dealings, studying together, visiting each other’s houses or even celebrating each other’s festivals. Some Rakhine interviewees stated they had no interaction with the Rohingya, as there were no Rohingya in or near their villages.1564 725. One ethnic Rakhine from Maungdaw stated that he had many Muslim friends but mistrust grew between the two communities after the 2012 violence.1565Another Rakhine from Kyaukpyu, who left Myanmar after the 2012 violence, said: The relation between Rakhine and Rohingya was peaceful until I left Myanmar. Rakhine do not have any problem with the Muslims. The problem is with the repression by the military.1566 726. One Rohingya from Maungdaw town said: Before the 2012 violence, the relationship between the Buddhists and the Muslims was good. We had no problems. We went to their houses and they came to ours. Even in the monastery we had good relationships. We used to exchange food for Muslim and Buddhist festivals. I used to go to the monastery compound nearby and play football with the young monks.1567 727. Some Rohingya expressed negative feelings against the way ethnic Rakhine treated them at school or at university. A few interviewees did speak about difficulties with their Rakhine neighbours before the 2012 violence. 1568 However, after the 2012 violence, the relationship between the ethnic Rakhine and the Rohingya communities seriously deteriorated.1569 Many interactions between the communities stopped or were significantly reduced, either out of fear or because of the policy of segregation imposed in central Rakhine.1570 1558 1559 1560 1561 1562 1563 1564 1565 1566 1567 1568 1569 1570 172 Video available on youtube at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=comAfSalvEY Yanghee Lee, “Statement of the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Myanmar at the 28th session of the Human Rights Council” (16 March 2015), available at https://www.ohchr.org/en/NewsEvents/Pages/DisplayNews.aspx?NewsID=15713&LangID=E V-343, V-344.
