The Burmese govt has systematically persecuted the Rohingya Muslims for years, stripping them of their basic rights & subjecting them to lives of poverty & oppression. According to the UN they are one of the most persecuted minorities in the world.
Though ongoing violence against the community has attracted attention from human rights groups, little has been done to ensure their basic human rights, as the state itself is responsible for their persecution. The international community cannot ignore the plight of Burmese Muslims.
We call on President Obama to urge the Burmese govt to:
End the ethnic cleansing of Rohingya Muslims.
Grant them equal rights & Burmese citizenship.
Protect their religious freedom.
Allow aid distribution without any restrictions.
