Indonesian demands:
Myanmar stop genocide against Rohingya

Hundreds of Indonesians took to the streets in Jakarta and other cities to protest against reported rights abuses against Rohingya Muslims during a military crackdown in Myanmar.

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.
