The European Rohingya Council (ERC) called on the international community to bring justice to the Rohingya Muslims in Arakan, Myanmar.
The final statement of the conference organized by the European Council of Rohingya in the German city of Frankfurt on Saturday called on the international community to achieve justice in order to end the injustice inflicted on the Rohingya.
The statement called on the international community to work for the return of Rohingya refugees from Bangladesh to their homes in Arakan, Myanmar.
The participants in the conference stressed that the government of Myanmar practiced “ethnic cleansing” and “genocide” against the Rohingya, and practiced “human rights violations” against Muslims, according to the statement.
The statement pointed to the displacement of the Myanmar authorities more than a million Muslims from their lands since 25th August last.
He pointed to the exposure of houses of worship and houses of Rohingya to burn, and subjected to mass arrests and killings, calling on the international community to work to bring the perpetrators to justice.
He also called on the Government of Myanmar to allow the Rohingya Muslims to return to their lands, ensure freedom of movement for them, provide them with humanitarian services and rebuild their homes and places of worship under the control of the United Nations, as well as allow the international media to operate in Arakan.
According to United Nations data, some 700,000 Rohingya people fled Myanmar to Bangladesh after a crackdown by security forces in Arakan State (Arakan) on 25 August 2017, described by the United Nations and the United States as ethnically cleansing.
