The #Rohingya Muslim ethnic minority in #Burma have been called “the most oppressed people on Earth”. They suffer vicious attacks and systematic abuse by Burma’s government.
1.3 million Rohingya have been denied citizenship and stripped of all rights. They are forced to live in Apartheid conditions where they cannot travel, work or even marry without permission. Over 140,000 were forced into concentration camps after their homes and villages were burnt to the ground in 2012, and remain there today.
Thousands of ethnic minority Rohingya from Burma are fleeing the threat of #genocide & are at sea trapped in crowded wooden boats. With food and clean water running low, their lives are in grave danger.
Instead of heeding their cries for help and rescuing these people fleeing for their lives, Burma’s neighbors are pushing these rickety boats back to sea.
Help spread this message, to send a plea to Burma's neighbours which include #Thailand, #Indonesia & our very own #Malaysia - to offer these refugees emergency assistance and protect the Rohingya so they won’t have to flee.
It's not about race, or religion. It's about basic #HumanRights. No one in this day in age should be forced to live like this.
