Ameer, Jamaat-i-Islami, Pakistan, Syed Munawar Hasan, has appealed to the world community, especially the Muslim rulers, to exert diplomatic pressure on the Burma government to stop its atrocities on Myanmar Muslims and protect their basic human rights.
He said this in a statement after a call on by a three member delegation of Myanmar Muslims at Mansoora which apprised him of the miserable plight of the Myanmar Muslims and the brutalities being perpetrated on them. Syed Munawar Hasan said that scores of Myanmar Muslims were lying at the borders of Burma and Bangladesh. They badly needed financial assistance. He said that all over the world, the Muslims were the being victimised but the plight of the Myanmar Muslims is most miserable.
They were being tortured by the state machinery and the armed forces. But unfortunately, the world community, the media and the so called Human Rights bodies who raised hue and cry over the atrocities on the animals, are completely silent. Syed Munawar Hasan said that the JIP had set up a relief fund for the Myanmar Muslims. He appealed to the well to do and the philanthropists to donate generously for the help of their brethren facing unprecedented atrocities.
