The Peaceful Demonstration was held against extrajudicial killing of Rohingya in northern Arakan, Myanmar.
Since October 9, 2016 the Myanmar military and police forces have been indiscriminately killing the Rohingyas and torching their homes and villages. At least 150 Rohingyas, including old men, women and children, and four Rohingya villages were burned down in Maungdaw Township. This produced more than 10,000 internally displaced people causing a humanitarian disaster. Due to curfew order and blockade there is an acute shortage of food, medicine and other essentials. The situation is exponentially worsening. It is a violation of International Law and the Geneva Convention.
