FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda We demand the resolution of the current crisis in that country (Myanmar) through negotiation and dialog, Eduardo Del Buey told IRNA when asked about the UN reaction to Myanmar’s massacre of Rohingya Muslims.
We urge the officials of the country to stop the violence and find a solution to the existing crisis through talks, he added.
The UN official, however, declined to answer a question regarding the recent remarks by Myanmar’s President Thein Sein that Rohingya Muslims must be expelled from the country and sent to refugee camps run by the United Nations.
Regarding the mass arrests of Muslims by the Myanmar government, he said the UN is investigating the issue, but noted that he could not make a comment until the results are finalized.
According to recent reports, Muslims in Myanmar are in a tragic human plight. Reports say 650 of the nearly one million Rohingya Muslims have been killed as of June 28 during clashes in the western region of Rakhine. This is while 1,200 others are missing and 90,000 more have been displaced.
The government of Myanmar refuses to recognize Rohingyas, who it claims are not natives, and classifies them as illegal migrants, although they have lived in the country for generations.
Meanwhile, Myanmar’s democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi, in her first ever speech to the country’s parliament on Wednesday, called for laws to protect the rights of ethnic minorities.
This is while, just days after she received a peace prize, Suu Kyi told reporters she did not know if Rohingyas were Myanmarese.
The UN has described Rohingya Muslim community as the Palestine of Asia and one of the most persecuted minorities in the world.
They are deprived of basic rights including education and employment and are subject to forced labor, extortion and other coercive measures.
