Muslims in Myanmar fearful during Ramadan

Myanmar's minority Muslims are concerned by a rise in anti-Muslim sentiment being stoked by hardline Buddhist monks during the holy month of Ramadan.

Tin Maung Than, general secretary of the Islamic Religious Council of Myanmar, said that Muslims in Yangon's outskirts have faced difficulty even to worship at their religious school due to the pressure from radical Buddhist monks. (Courtesy of ucanews.com)
