Since 9th October Myanmar military and police forces have been indiscriminately killing the Rohingyas and torching their homes and villages. At least 150 Rohingyas, including old men, women and children, and 4 Rohingya villages were burned down in Maungdaw Township producing, as of today, more than 10000 internally displaced people causing a humanitarian disaster. Due to curfew order and blockade, there is an acute shortage of food, medicine, and other essentials. The situation is exponentially worsening. It is a violation of international law and Geneva Convention.
We, European Rohingya Network holding a demonstration in front of European Commission and European Parliament in Brussels as per program below on Thursday 20th of October 2016 to stop extrajudicial killing of Rohingyas in Northern Arakan. We would like to invite you to join with us and raise your voice to protect Rohingya lives in Arakan. Thank you so much.
