Malaysia should take the lead in getting the United Nations’ Human Rights Council to set up a Commission of Inquiry on the atrocities against the Rohingya, said investigative filmmaker Mahi Ramakrishnan.
She said Malaysia was in a perfect position to lead the initiative after Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak’s strong stand on the issue.
She pointed out that no other leader in the region had urged the world to stop the genocide of Myanmar’s Muslim Rohingya minority.
“When the killing stops, the Rohingya will stop fleeing Myanmar,” said Mahi after the screening of her documentary Bodies for Sale about Rohingya refugees.
She said non-governmental and civil society organisations should also support this push for an inquiry on crimes committed by Myanmar’s army. (Courtesy of thestar.com.my)
