Imran Khan writes letter to Ban Ki-moon on plight of Myanmar's Rohingya Muslims

[Patriots]

ISLAMABAD (Web Desk) – In an open letter to United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan said that silence and complete inaction by the UN on the continuing plight and persecution of the Rohingya Muslims of Myanmar is a shameful testatment to the failure of the UN to fulfill its basic principles of upholding human rights and protecting people from genocide.
Khan said that more that 120,000 Rohingya Muslims have fled abroad under desperate circumstances and conditions in the past three years.

“Even today the Rohingyas have been abandoned on the high seas with no humanitarian assistance forthcoming,” he added.

Khan said it has been heartbreaking to witness the silence of the UN and international community on the persecution of Rohingyas in Myanmar since 1970s. The hypocrisy prevalent within the international community on human rights and humanitarian interventions has been acutely evident as the Rohingya crisis has unfolded.

He called on Ban Ki-moon to move the UNSC to end the persecution and genocide of Rohingya Muslims within Myanmar to bring to an end their inhumane plight on the high seas, under Chapter VII of the UN Charter.

just don't mention Rohingyland now IK or you will be labeled a shill for US and it's conspiracy to set up bases there.

Rohingya are not like the Palestinians they have no claim for land or a state. they should just stick to their boats on the rivers and be a unwanted ethnic group. not even Muslim countries want any part of them (Bangladesh)

Rakhine state belongs to Rohingya.

Myanmar is only laying the seeds of future loss of Rakhine to an enlarged BD
