Amnesty International, Australia, Nov 12, 2017
The Myanmar army is continuing a ruthless campaign of violence against the Rohingya people, an ethnic minority group in Myanmar. It’s time for the Australian Government to step up and show leadership on this human rights crisis.
Call on Foreign Minister Julie Bishop to up the pressure on the Myanmar Government now.
In just over one month more than 430,000 Rohingya people have fled the bloodshed. Landmines continue to threaten men, women and children in Rakhine State, Myanmar. Villages have been burnt to the ground and authorities won’t allow life-saving aid through.
