Pressure the government of Myanmar to stop the ethnic cleansing of the Rohingya

Created by A.H. on April 25, 2013

According to the United Nations the Rohingya are the most persecuted people in the world today. They are denied citizenship in their homeland and denied basic human rights such as healthcare, education and even traveling freely. They are not a legally recognized ethnic minority in a country where there are over 130 official ethnic groups. Since 1982 they have been stateless despite having lived in the country for generations. Hundreds have been killed and more than 125,000 people have been displaced. The Myanmar government won't allow international aid workers or doctors to help the Rohingya because they legally "don't exist". We need the United States to pressure them into giving the Rohingya their dignity and humanity.
