Impose heavy economic sanctions on the government of Myanmar to stop the state sponsored violence against the Rohingyas

Created by Y.S. on October 16, 2012

"...Anti-Muslim laws established in 1982 withhold many basic rights and citizenship to the Rohingya people. This past year, ethnic tensions between the Rakine peoples and Rohingya Muslims in the northern Rakhine State led to a series of deadly riots and ongoing disputes. The Burmese army has been accused of demonstrating anti-Muslim bias, and it has been reported that the police have been targeting Rohingyas through arbitrary arrests, detainment, and deportation. Several representatives of international groups, including the United Nations and Human Rights Watch, have condemned the Burmese government for isolating the Rohingya in camps, while blocking assistance from aid workers and threatening to forcibly deport Muslim refugees."

The USA needs to help these poor and defenseless people!
