ICNA’s Appeal: Help Burmese Muslims


—FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE—

JAMAICA, New York (July 24, 2012) – The Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) issued a press release today calling for an end to the atrocities against the Rohingya Muslim community in Burma.

According to the United Nations, the Rohingyas are one of the most persecuted minorities in the world. Disowned by the Burmese government, they have been completely stripped of their human rights; most recently, an estimated 90,000 have been displaced and left without “adequate food, water, shelter, [or] medical attention.”

“We are deeply moved by the plight of the Rohingya Muslims, and pained by the massacre of innocents in Burma,” said Dr. Zahid Bukhari, President of ICNA. “Violence against the Rohingyas continues to escalate, with hundreds being indiscriminately tortured and murdered in the past month.”

“ICNA calls on the U.S. and all nations to stand firmly with the Rohingyas and investigate the abuse of human rights and murder of innocent Muslims in Burma. While the U.S. has called for a peaceful resolution, we must assert more pressure on the Burmese government to stop the violence. We further appeal to the Obama administration to provide humanitarian assistance to the Rohingyas.”

“ICNA also urge the United Nations to investigate the massacres, and appeal to the government of Bangladesh to provide a haven for the Rohingya refugees as they flee from Burma. The world must stand together against violence and not let the bloodshed of this community go unnoticed.”

The Islamic Circle of North America is a leading American Muslim organization dedicated to the betterment of society through the promotion of Islamic values. Since 1968, ICNA has worked to build relations between communities by devoting itself to education, outreach, social services and relief efforts.

    ဦးသိန္းစိန္ ေခါင္းေဆာင္သည့္ အစိုးရကိုယ္တိုင္က ၀င္ေရာက္ က်ဴးလြန္မႈကို နိုင္ငံတကာက ရက္စြဲအတိအက်ျဖင့္ ေထာက္ျပလာခဲ့ျပီ ျဖစ္သည္။

    ဤျဖစ္စဥ္ၾကီး တစံုလံုးကို အစမွ အဆံုး ေသခ်ာစြာ ေဖၚထုတ္ျပီး ေနာက္ကြယ္မွ ၾကိဳးကိုင္ ေဆာင္ရြက္ေနသူမ်ား အပါအ၀င္ ဦးေဆာင္ က်ဴးလြန္ၾကသည့္ တရားခံအားလံုးကို လူမ်ိဳး ဘာသာ၊ အသားအေရာင္ မေရြးဘဲ ဥပေဒစိုးမိုးေရး အေျခခံျဖင့္ ထိေရာက္စြာ ေဖၚထုတ္ အေရးယူနိုင္မွသာ ေနာင္သည္လို အျဖစ္ဆိုးမိ်ဳး မျဖစ္ေအာင္ ကာကြယ္ တားဆီးနုိင္ပါမည္။

    ရြာတရြာတြင္ သူၾကီးကုိယ္တိုင္က ျပစ္မႈ က်ဴးလြန္ေၾကာင္း စြပ္စြဲခံရေသာ အမႈ၌ သူၾကီးသားကို စံုစမ္းစစ္ေဆးေရးအဖြဲဲ႕ေခါင္းေဆာင္ ထားျပီး အမႈ ေဖၚထုတ္ခိုင္း၍ မရပါ။

    ျမန္မာနိုင္ငံ၌ တရားစီရင္ေရး ယႏၱရား တခုလံုးမွာ လြတ္လပ္မႈ လံုး၀ မရွိဘဲ စစ္ေခါင္းေဆာင္မ်ားအား ဆန္႕က်င္ ရပ္တည္ရဲသည့္ အေနအထား မရွိပါ။

    လူ ့အခြင့္အေရးေကာ္မီတီ ဆိုသည္ မွာလည္း သမၼတရံုးအဖြဲ႕၏ အစိတ္အပိုင္း တခုကဲ့သုိ႔ ျဖစ္ေနျပီး သူၾကီးတူ အဆင့္ေလာက္သာ ရွိပါသည္။

    ျဖစ္ပြားခဲ့သည့္ အဓိကရုဏ္းၾကီး၌ ဦးသိန္းစိန္ကုိယ္တိုင္က မိမိတို ့အစိုးရ နွင့္ စစ္တပ္၏ လက္ခ်က္ မည္သို ့မွ် ပါ၀င္ ပတ္သက္ျခင္း မရွိေၾကာင္း သက္ေသျပရဲသည္ ဆိုလွ်င္ နိုင္ငံတကာ စံုစမ္းစစ္ေဆးေရးေကာ္မရွင္ တရပ္ ေစလႊတ္ေပး ေရး အတြက္ ကုလသမဂၢသို ့အျမန္ဆံုး ပန္ၾကားရန္ ေတာင္းဆိုသည္။

    ေနာင္ သည္လို အျဖစ္ဆိုးမ်ိဳး ကို မုခ် ေရွာင္လႊဲနိုင္ရန္မွာမူ စစ္အာဏာရွင္စနစ္ကို အျမစ္မွေန၍ ေခ်မႈန္းဘို ့လိုပါသည္။

    တိုင္းရင္းသားေပါင္းစံု လူထုၾကီးတရပ္လံုး လက္တြဲၾကဘို ့အခ်ိန္ေရာက္ပါျပီ။ သို႔မွသာ အုပ္ခ်ဳပ္ေရးယႏၱရား တစံုလံုးကို ျပင္နုိင္မည္ျဖစ္ျပီး ျငိမ္းခ်မ္းသာယာသည့္ ျပည္ေထာင္စုၾကီး ေပၚလာနိုင္ပါမည္။
