00:00:00.930 --> 00:00:03.002
Hundreds of people wait to be registered
မွတ္ပံုတင္ဖို႔ လူရာခ်ီေစာင့္ေနရတာ

00:00:03.327 --> 00:00:06.720
as immigration officials and security forces stand by
လူ၀င္မႈၾကီးၾကပ္ေရးအရာရွိနဲ႔ လံုျခံဳေရးေတြလည္းတစ္ခ်ိန္လံုးေစာင့္ၾကပ္ေနတယ္

00:00:07.171 --> 00:00:10.449
Those born before 1982 are being checked
၁၉၈၂ မတိုင္ခင္ကစစ္ခဲ့တာေတြကို ျဖဲပစ္ေနၾကတာ

00:00:10.449 --> 00:00:13.445
to see if they are eligible for Burmese citizenship
သူတို႔ျမန္မာႏိုင္ငံသားျဖစ္ႏိုင္တယ္ဆိုတာေတြ႔ရင္ေလ

00:00:13.892 --> 00:00:19.134
In a camp of 3000 people, 700 are being registered in this pilot programme
ဒီစခန္းထဲမွာလူ (၃၀၀၀)..(၇၀၀)က ဒီ pilot program မွာစာရင္း၀င္တယ္

00:00:20.251 --> 00:00:22.842
But in order for a person to gain citizenship
ဒါေပမယ့္ ႏိုင္ငံသားျဖစ္ဖို႔ဆိုရင္ေတာ့..

00:00:22.987 --> 00:00:26.870
they must be able to prove that they or their parents lived in the country
သူတို႔ကိုယ္တိုင္(ဒါမွမဟုတ္)မိဘေတြက ဒီႏိုင္ငံမွာေနထိုင္ေၾကာင္းသက္ေသျပဖို႔လိုတယ္

00:00:26.870 --> 00:00:29.513
before independence in 1948
၁၉၄၈ လြတ္လပ္ေရးမရခင္ထဲက ေနခဲ့တာမ်ိဳးေပါ့

00:00:30.150 --> 00:00:35.589
If they have the documents to prove this, they're in with a chance of
becoming a naturalized citizen
ဒီစာရြက္စာတမ္းရွိမွပဲ ႏိုင္ငံသားျဖစ္ဖို႔ အခြင့္အေရးရမယ္

00:00:36.089 --> 00:00:39.379
Though most Rohingya people don't have the necessary papers
ရိုဟင္ဂ်ာ အမ်ားစုမွာ လိုအပ္တဲ့စာရြက္စာတမ္းေတြမရွိၾကဘူး

00:00:40.235 --> 00:00:43.185
Human rights groups have slammed the 1982 law,
လူ႔အခြင့္အေရးအဖြဲ႔ေတြကေတာ့ ၁၉၈၂ ဥပေဒကို ရႈတ္ခ်ၾကတယ္

00:00:43.185 --> 00:00:48.096
for effectively denying the Rohingyas citizenship and rendering them
stateless
ဒီဥပေဒက ရိုဟင္ဂ်ာေတြကို ႏိုင္ငံသားအျဖစ္အတည္ျပဳဖို႔ ျငင္းဆန္သလို သူတို႔ကို ျပည္မဲ့ေတြျဖစ္ေစတယ္

00:00:48.283 --> 00:00:51.448
They're not forcing us - they said it's okay if we don't want to take part
သူတို႔က အတင္းအၾကပ္မလုပ္ခိုင္းဘူး။ ကြ်န္ေတာ္တို႔ ႏိုင္ငံသားမျဖစ္ႏိုင္ရင္ေတာင္မွ သူတို႔က အိုေကလို႔ေျပာမယ္.

00:00:51.644 --> 00:00:54.389
and we can register at our own will
ဒီေတာ့ ကြ်န္ေတာ္တို႔ကိုယ္ဆနၵနဲ႔ကိုယ္ မွတ္ပံုတင္ခြင့္ရွိတယ္

00:00:55.324 --> 00:00:58.692
In Maybaung, there are 3 choices of ethnic identification:
ေျမပံုျမို႔မွာေတာ့ ေရြးခ်ယ္စရာ(၃)ခုရွိတယ္

00:00:58.936 --> 00:01:01.445
Kahman, Bengali, or nothing at all
ကမန္၊ ဘန္ဂါလီရယ္..လူမ်ိဳးမဲ့ရယ္

00:01:01.750 --> 00:01:05.588
- making the process awkward for those who identify as Rohingya
ဒါက ရိုဟင္ဂ်ာလို႔ သတ္မွထားတဲ့လူေတြအတြက္ အံ့အားသင့္စရာျဖစ္ေနတယ္

00:01:05.796 --> 00:01:07.059
What ethincity do most people here identify themselves as?
ဒီမာွရွိတဲ့လူေတြကကိုယ့္ကိုကိုယ္ ဘာလူမ်ိဳးပါလို႔ ေျပာရမလဲ

00:01:07.059 --> 00:01:08.144
Mostly Bengali
အမ်ားစုက ဘန္ဂါလီေတြပါပဲ

00:01:09.086 --> 00:01:12.162
Over 400 people have been registered so far
လူ(၄၀၀)ေက်ာ္ေလာက္ မွတ္ပံုတင္ထားတယ္ေပါ့

00:01:12.447 --> 00:01:16.521
Officials here will collect the personal data and send it to Naypyidaw
အရာရွိေတြကေတာ့ တစ္ဦးခ်င္းအခ်က္အလက္ေတြစုျပီး ေနျပည္ေတာ္ပို႔တာပဲ

00:01:16.521 --> 00:01:20.361
where a central board will decide who will eligible for citizenship
အဲဒါကိုမွ ဘုတ္အဖြဲ႔က ဘယ္သူကေတာ့ ႏိုင္ငံသားျဖစ္သင့္တယ္ဆံုးျဖတ္တယ္

00:01:20.631 --> 00:01:23.322
Critics of the law say the process is baised
ဒီဥပေဒက မညီမွ်လွပါဘူး

00:01:23.322 --> 00:01:26.609
and set up to ensure Rohingya won't get citizenship
ရိုဟင္ဂ်ာေတြကို ႏိုင္ငံသားျဖစ္မလာေအာင္တားဆီးထားတာေပါ့

00:01:26.893 --> 00:01:29.402
But the camp residents que up anyway
ဒါေပမယ့္ဒီစခန္းကေတာ့ ရွိေနတုန္းပဲ

00:01:29.727 --> 00:01:32.856
More out of desperation, than any real hope
ေမွ်ာ္လင့္စရာမရွိေပမယ့္ ေမွ်ာ္လင့္ေနၾကတုန္းပါပဲ
