Rohingya Rally at the University of San Francisco during Daw Aung San Suu Kyi's Visit
A group of Peace loving people from Burma Task Force (USA) and Free Rohingya Campaign (FRC) had gathered to show solidarity with persecuted Rohingya minority of Burma. They chose this location to draw attention of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, Democracy activists, and their supporters to remember Rohingya Muslim while celebrating their freedom. The same people, the same hatred, the same policy who put DASSK and activists behind bar are masterminding the conflict and taking advantage of emotional reaction of general public for their political gain.
The protesters convey the message to the media that the same military Junta and their apparatus are masterminding the ethnic cleansing in Arakan Burma.
They also urge Daw
Aung San Suu Kyi to speak up for racial and religious harmony more
actively without thinking of political consequences. One of the
organizers has pointed out that Daw Aung San Suu Kyi denied that
Rohingya people are persecuted in replying question of Harvard
University Student by simply saying both communities has committed
crime. But Daw Aung San Suu Kyi failed to tell the world that Rohingya
are stateless and rule of law, Judiciary system, police and security
enforcement are siding with Rakhine Buddhist and making situation more
complicated day by day. There will never be peace in Arakan if people
try to deny the basic fundamental right of citizenship of Rohingya in
Arakan Burma. Demonstrators were interviewed by at least 7 media such as
KTVU. Channel news Asia, mercurynews, cvs sanfransiscisco, abc7. They
also got attention of Sanfrancisco mayer Edwin M. Lee who was brief
about Rohingya issue before this event.
