The Burmese Rohingya Organisation UK this week published a new briefing paper calling on the NLD-led government, which will take power in April, to take four practical steps to start addressing human rights violations against the Rohingya.
In a press release, dated February 18, the NGO said that addressing the root causes of prejudice and human rights violations against the Muslim Rohingya will take many years.
But, they say, in order to start this process, and to have an immediate impact saving lives and reducing human rights violations, there are practical steps an NLD government can take in its first six months.
The four points put forward by the NGO are as follows:
1) Action against hate-speech and extremists - Take action to prevent hate speech and incitement of violence, and demonstrate moral leadership, with Aung San Suu Kyi and other NLD leaders personally and specifically speaking out against prejudice and hatred, and challenging the extreme nationalist narrative.
