The shocking persecution of Muslims by Buddhist Myanmar

Southern Thailand is facing a growing wave of Muslim Rohingya literally being washed up on boats as they flee appalling human rights abuses and persecution in Buddhist Myanmar formerly Burma.

The Muslim Rohingya of Myanmar who are denied citizenship, education, Govt jobs or membership of the Army have suffered persecution for decades at the hands of the repressive Military Junta and have seen thousands of their villages destroyed particularly in Eastern Burma resulting in huge waves of Muslim exiles fleeing into Bangladesh.

Sadly the appalling treatment is compounded when Muslims escape and arrive in Thailand a country who LM highlighted has its own Muslim insurgency and as a result the first thing Thai authorities do is send these poor people back to Myanmar and inevitably further abuse when they are not sabotaging their boats in international waters.

With evidence of genocide towards its other minorities, LM urges the international community and in particular the Muslim Ummah to help protect our fellow Muslim brothers and sisters and stop the oppression. Please contact your MPs and Govt's around the world to establish what if any pressure they can bring to bear on both Myanmar and Thailand to stop the abuse of Muslims while also ensuring the culprits face justice.
