FACT-CHECK REPORT | Disinformation & Hate Speech Against the Rohingya
Date: April 17, 2025
Prepared by: RGPRN Fact CheckTeam
Targeted by: Facebook User Htin Zaw
Language of Post: Burmese
We are deeply concerned by a recent Facebook post that spreads disinformation and promotes Islamophobia, targeting the Rohingya people. The post falsely claims that “There has never been anything called Rohingya in world history” and refers to Rohingya identity as “only lies.” These are not mere opinions—they are dangerous falsehoods that fuel hate, denial, and potential violence.
FACTS THAT MATTER:
1. Historical Documentation:
The Rohingya have been recognized as a native Muslim community in Arakan since the 1400s, and were full citizens of the Arakan Kingdom. British colonial scholar Francis Buchanan (1799) recorded the term “Rooinga” to describe them.
• Official Myanmar records in 1961 under Prime Minister U Nu used the term “Rohingya” in public broadcasts.
• British Burma Gazetteer, Myanmar Citizenship Law (1982), and international reports by the UN, Amnesty International, and Human Rights Watch all recognize the Rohingya as an ethnic group indigenous to Rakhine State.
2. Genocide Warning Indicators:
Denying a group’s identity is a known early warning sign of genocide. This post is part of a broader pattern of dehumanizing rhetoric that has historically led to mass atrocities, including the 2012 and 2017 Rohingya crackdowns and displacement.
3. Islamophobic Rhetoric:
The claim that there is “no such thing as Rohingya” is not only false—it erases the identity, history, and dignity of an entire people. This disinformation aligns with extremist narratives that deny Muslim presence in Myanmar’s historical context.
OUR VERDICT: FALSE & DISCRIMINATORY
