CHAIRMAN BO AUNG DIN OF THE PDP DECLARES THAT WE WILL NOT TURN A BLIND EYE TO THE MILITARY JUNTA ATROCITIES AGAINST THE MUSLIM ROHINGYA MINORITY

Date: 31st August 2012

I and the PDP leadership and our supporters strongly condemn the military Junta's inexcusable device of creating situations by its own actions, which excite passions in particular communities against other communities, which the Junta has labelled them non-national of Burma. This is the case in the situation of the Rohingyas. The military has by illegal administrative fiat introduced arbitrary laws, which deprived citizenship to the Rohingya community. Further, it waged a campaign of harassment, persecution, and vilification and inciting other communities to join the bigotry, which they have started.
