Rohingya - The Forgotten People

They are branded as one of the most persecuted communities in the world by the UN, yet nobody knows their name. They are the forgotten people.

In recent weeks, the escalating violence has displaced more than 90,000 Rohingya people. Villages are being burnt, people are being abducted, concentration camps are being created, women are being raped and children mercilessly killed. The persecution against the Rohingya can be described in no other terms but that of ethnic cleansing and genocide.

I have heard about these people I think. The 'angelic' Aung San Su Chi seems to be taking the attitude that they are people who do not deserve their rights quite as much as other people of Burma.

I doubt whether there is a country in the world some of whose inhabitants have never been persecuted. In the UK terrible crimes were committed for hundreds of years against the Irish people.

^There are so many crimes going on everywhere unnoticed.

Everyone, if could please sign the petition and pass on the word; it'd be great. Thank you.
