Ethnic Cleansing of Rohingya in Myanmar (Sign the petition)

Over the past 4 weeks, the Rohingya, a community numbering nearly 1 million in Burma's Arakan state have been under siege by local Rakhine community also living in Arakan.




The UN have described the Rohingya as 'the most persecuted community in the world' and have referenced the Rohingya as the Palestine of Asia. It is reported that the Rohingya have been living in Myanmar from as far back as the 8th Century, yet in 1962, the Burmese military junta began a programme of ethnic cleansing. Starting by denying birth certificates and citizenship to the Rohingya, right now, the community are in a perilous situation where they are being targeted because they are not of the same race and religion of the Buddhist majority Rakhine. Looking darker and closer to the South Asian race as opposed to the more oriental looking majority, and being Muslims as opposed to Buddhist, the Rohingya are being targeted by state sponsored ethnic cleansing.

It doesn't matter if you're Rohingya, Bangladeshi, Pakistani, Indian, Black, White, Muslim, Hindu or whatever. If you are human, and believe in humanity and want to stop persecution of innocent, vulnerable and helpless Rohingyas, you would sign this petition.

Thank you
