Hawzah News Agency (Jakarta, Indonesia) - In the capital, demonstrators gathered in front of the presidential palace and Myanmar embassy carrying banners saying "Save the Rohingya Muslims”, "Myanmar, Stop Muslim Cleansing!” and "Stop Genocide against Rohingya.”

Over the past six weeks, rights groups have expressed concern over reports of killings, rapes, arbitrary arrests and other violations in villages predominantly occupied by Rohingya in Myanmar’s troubled Rakhine State amid military operations launched after fatal attacks on police stations Oct. 9.

They have called for independent investigations into the initial attacks, ongoing operations and reported rights abuses in the area, which has been under military lockdown ever since.

End.
