Rohingya awareness week in South Africa brought attention to the South African People
Free Burma Campaign South Africa and Protect the Rohingya group hosted BROUK delegation from 3rd March until 9th March 2012. BROUK delegation raised the plight of the Rohingya in Johannesburg and Cape Town.
According to Organisers, BROUK President was interviewed by South Africa National Radio Station. Now more than more than 5 million listeners aware about the plight of Rohingya after a week of Campaign, interviews and news clips. Radio 786 and Islam radio also interviewed BROUK delegation daily during Rohingya awareness week of South Africa.
BROUK President Tun Khin gave a Jummah talk during Friday Jummah prayer at the Al Jaamia Mosque in Claremont Cape Town. The mosque was strategically selected as Muslims from that area are also victims of force removals under the Apartheid Era. In September 1969 the Imam of the mosque Ashaheed Imam Abdullah Haroon was killed by security police for speaking out against the regime of his time.
BROUK delegation was also received by the PAGAD centre, in memory of all the oppressed, as well as the Cape Town community, to lift the morale of all oppressed, showing we are one Ummah (Nation) in the struggle towards social justice and freedom.
Within the same time, BROUK was invited by Christian Solidarity worldwide (CSW) to give briefing on latest situation of Rohingyas in Arakan State Burma during CSW Prayer event for the people of Burma who were suffering Human Right violation. BROUK’s general secretary Ahamed Hussein Jarmal gave a 15mins briefing specifically on last year attacks against Rohingya and ongoing humanitarian crisis in Arakan state Burma and boatpeople who were suffering in middle of the ocean and sea.
