Three Brothers Rohingyas Muslim went Myanmar embassy for recognitionof Myanmar citizenship and getting Myanmar passport for three times.Each time they brought along with some documents showing the proofof that they are Myanmar citizen because they do not possessNational Identification Card. One of them brought a photocopy of hisfather's certificate which is awarded as the third gradecommemorative person in Myanmar independence. Each time, Myanmarembassy staff postponed their meeting with Ambassador U Hla Maungand Myanmar embassy staff still denied to recognize them as Myanmarcitizen. Later, they were told to come and see Ambassador U HlaMaung and to process their case on April 7, 2004 at visa sectionroom.

When they went there on that day, Ambassador U Hla Maung and embassystaff told them that they cannot be recognized as Myanmar citizenwithout giving any reason.. They showed their proper documents toAmbassador but still denied and asked them to bring originaldocuments. Then, Ambassador U Hla Maung and embassy staff told themto get out of the embassy in haughty manner. The argument wasgetting serious and embassy staff called the illegal workers who areliving inside embassy compound to beat them and to get them out. Theillegal workers started punching them on their faces, beating themand getting them out of the embassy compound. They were so angry andthey called their friends, their wives and children. Then theybrought the petrol from the petrol station near by and put them inplastic bags.When they got back in front of embassy compound, the illegal workerscame out again and attacked them with their axe and knives.Rohingyas did not have any weapons except petrol bags.

They defendedthemselves and they snatched the axe and knife from the workers andthey fought them back. At the same time, they touched the petrolplastic bags and threw them into the embassy compound.
