EU Parliament slams Myanmar's anti-Rohingya practices

The European Parliament condemned Myanmar on Thursday for practices that discriminate against its minority Muslim community in western Rakhine State, home to around a million stateless Rohingya.

In a statement, the EU body expressed “deep concern about the plight of Rohingya in south-east Asia.”

The parliamentarians urged authorities through a non-legislative resolution to “ensure free and unimpeded access to Rakhine State, where some 120,000 Rohingya remain in more than 80 internal displacement camps, for humanitarian actors, the United Nations, international human rights organizations, journalists and other international observers.” (Courtesy of aa.com.tr)
