Ramadan justice for Burma’s Muslims | Sign the petition
The Rohingya, a persecuted Muslim community in western Burma, are under attack. Hundreds of thousands have fled to neighboring Bangladesh, but the government is blocking aid -- if we act together now, we can pressure Bangladesh to reverse course and offer Ramadan relief to those in need.
Rohingya refugees who have made it into Bangladesh are at risk after the Bangladeshi government ordered important relief charities shut down, saying the refugees aren’t their responsibility. But people powered compassion, coupled with commitments of financial aid from the important Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), could push Bangladesh to reverse the ban and rescue the Rohingya.
Next week all 56 OIC members states, including Bangladesh, are meeting in Saudi Arabia for an emergency summit to address the crisis. OIC Chief Ekmeleddin İhsanoğlu will urge Bangladesh to show mercy and compassion towards Rohingya refugees, but if his call is supported by hundreds of thousands, it will be impossible to ignore. Sign the urgent petition now and share with everyone you know - we’ll deliver it directly to the OIC meetings next week when we reach 100,000 signers.
