YANGON, Myanmar (RNS) In an article originally published in early 2012 and titled “Word power,” renowned Myanmar human rights advocate, politician and Nobel Peace laureate Aung San Suu Kyi wrote:
“Words allow us to express our feelings, to record our experiences, to concretize our ideas, to push outwards the frontiers of intellectual exploration. Words can move hearts, words can change perceptions, words can set nations and peoples in powerful motion. Words are an essential part of the expression of our humanness. To curb and shackle freedom of speech and expression is to cripple the basic right to realize our full potential as human beings.”

বাঙ্গালী-রোহিঙ্গা বিয়ে থামছেনা
ভোরের বাণী ডেস্ক, স্থানীয় জনপ্রতিনিধিদের অনেকে বলেছেন, বাংলাদেশের আইনকে পাশ কাটিয়ে রেজিষ্ট্রেশন না করে গোপনে এ ধরণের বিয়ে হচ্ছে।
তবে কিছুদিন আগে বিয়ে করেছেন, এমন দম্পতির বক্তব্য হচ্ছে, রেজিষ্ট্রশন না করলেও স্থানীয় লোকজনের উপস্থিতিতেই তারা বিয়ে করেছেন।তারা বিয়ের ক্ষেত্রে আইনী কোনো বাধা বা নিষেধাজ্ঞা মানতে রাজি নন।
প্রশাসন বলেছে, মিয়ানমার থেকে অবৈধভাবে আসা রোহিঙ্গাদের বৈধতা বা নাগরিকত্ব না দেওয়ার জন্য তাদের সাথে বাংলাদেশিদের বিয়ের ব্যাপারে সরকার নিষেধাজ্ঞা দিয়েছে।
