2023 Banda Aceh anti-Rohingya protest
In December 2023, students from various universities in Aceh, Indonesia, protested and rioted against Rohingya refugees. The protests took place at the Balee Meuseuraya Hall in Banda Aceh.
The Rohingya are a stateless Muslim minority from Myanmar. They have been described by news outlets as one of the most persecuted group in the world.
The UN Human Rights chief Zeid Ra'ad al-Hussein called the actions of the Myanmar government an ethnic cleansing. They have denied this claim, saying that they're fighting Rohingya terrorists. To avoid violence, many Rohingya fled to other countries, such as Bangladesh, Malaysia, and Indonesia. According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), Rohingya refugees have arrived to Indonesia since 2015 with more than 1100 arriving in November and December 2023.
On 11 December, Gibran Rakabuming Raka commented that the arrival of Rohingya refugees is illegal and invited the government to focus on community welfare first. Similarly, on 26 December, Prabowo Subianto stated that the Indonesian government must pay attention to the interests of the people who still live under welfare rather than Rohingya refugees.
On 13 December, Retno Marsudi stated that the Rohingya refugees who landed in Aceh are the victims of human trafficking and people smuggling. In response to the influx of refugees, a misinformation campaign by fake United Nations accounts was created. These fake accounts spread hateful misinformation about Rohingya refugees.
On 27 December, the Indonesian Navy used a KRI Bontang (907) to repeatedly push out ships carrying Rohingya refugees on the grounds of human trafficking.
On 27 December 2023, hundreds of students from several universities in Aceh came to Balee Meuseraya Hall in Banda Aceh, representing Nusantara Student Executive Board. The Nusantara Student Executive Board included students from Al-Washliyah University, Abulyatama University, Bina Bangsa Getsempena University, and University of Muhammadiyah Aceh, among others.
The students demanded to meet with the Aceh Regional People's Representative Council and advocated for deporting Rohingya refugees. The students later ran to some of the refugees doing Salah. The students caused a commotion that caused several refugees to beg. They later were detained by officers to prevent further commotion.
