A Burmese and Muslim human rights advocate, Kyaw Win, has called on Indonesian Muslims to stop spreading hatred against Burmese Buddhists, arguing that it only fuels the escalating tension and further endangers Muslims in the country.
Burma Human Rights Network (BHRN) executive director Kyaw Win told The Jakarta Post on Friday that the use of hateful language conveyed the wrong message and incited negative reactions in Myanmar, as it provided sound-bytes for Buddhist extremists to use to justify the killing of Muslims in the country.
“We suffered a lot from this,” he said, referring to a viral social media post shared by Indonesian users that called for the killing of Buddhists. (Courtesy of thejakartapost.com)
