Muslim leaders in Myanmar have called on the government to protect their communities following two bouts of anti-Muslim violence in the Buddhist-majority country.
Kyaw Soe, secretary general of the Myanmar Maulawi Organization, said Muslim communities are currently living in fear following the destruction of a mosque by a mob in Hpakant township situated in the northern state of Kachin on July 1.
A week earlier, anti-Muslim mobs went on rampage in a village in Bago Division in southern central Myanmar where they destroyed a mosque, a school and houses on June 23. (Courtesy of ucanews.com)
