Description:
"In June 2012, hundreds Burmese Muslims have been butchered, and many more injured and
made homeless in Myanmar as a result religious intolerance by the Buddhist majority. The
military government, far from trying to resolve the problem and protect the minority, has
been silently conniving with the rioters by creating greater hardships for the Muslim
minority.
The reason of this June 2012 riot is unknown except for the periodical outbursts of the
Myanmar Military Forces to show their might and vent their anger on the helpless minority.
It is commonly accepted that the June 2012 massacre of Burmese Muslims was
intentionally orchestrated by the rioters in collaboration with the government. Yet the
world, including the UN, is conveniently silent. Aung San Suu Kyi, is very prompt at
accusing the Myanmar military of human rights violations when she is under house arrest.
But she finds nothing wrong when the military helps the Buddhist mobs to murder the
in
nocent Muslim minority of her country...".....Written NGO statement to the 21th Session of UN Human Rights Council.
