Abstract

When Noor Ayesha, Rajuma and hundreds of thousands of other Rohingya men and women were stripped of their citizenship, conditioned to live in poverty and humiliation, expelled from their homes and country and were subjected to ethnic cleansings and/or genocides, we did not see any protests or large demonstrations in Myanmar. Will today's protesters in the streets of Myanmar include the Rohingya in their struggle for democracy and justice? Or, are they simply fighting for establishing selective justice? Selective justice is not merely incomplete justice; it is a travesty of the very notion of justice itself.
