Petition Ban import of all Burmese products to the UK
Discriminatory government policies and militry violance in Mayanmar have compelled 600,000 Rohingya's to fled their homes to Bangladesh.
Violations of human rights, including burning villages, killings, raping, torturing women & children, ethnically cleansing Burma of Rohingya population.
More details
Rohingya are Muslim minority group. They differ from Myanmar’s dominant Buddhist groups ethnically, linguistically, and religiously.
The government refuses to grant the Rohingya citizenship, as a result they have no legal documentation, effectively making them stateless. Myanmar’s 1948 citizenship law was already exclusionary, and the military junta, which seized power in 1962, introduced a law twenty years later stripping the Rohingya of access to full citizenship.
