Imphal, Sept 9: North-East Forum for International Solidarity (NEFIS) along with other organizations including Krantikari Yuva Sangathan (KYS) and DAMMS among others organized a protest against the Myanmar Government for persecuting the Rohingya community, today in Chanakyapuri, Delhi.
A statement said that Rohingya community has historically been discriminated against in Myanmar with an active help from the ruling dispensation. In the recent months, however, their persecution has increased manifold taking the form of ethnic cleansing. Instead of strictly curbing their persecution, the Myanmar Government is actively denying the validity of incidents of their oppression, the statement added.
It further added that Rohingya community in Myanmar has been denied any citizenship rights since decades, which has left them deprived of basic subsistence.
