Asean MPs urge Myanmar to protect Muslim minority

Asean Parliamentarians for Human Rights (APHR) urged the Myanmar government to end discrimination against the Muslim minority in Myanmar.

The call comes after repeated incidents that targeted the country's Muslim minority population, including an anti-Muslim protest by thousands of Buddhists and monks, in Rakhine state on Sunday, EFE news reported.


"The government, led by State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi, has been telling the international community to 'just trust us' to handle the situation in Rakhine state and address discrimination against Rohingya and other Muslim communities," APHR Chairperson Charles Santiago said in a statement.
