BROUK says Rohingya being starved amid ongoing genocide in Myanmar

Mizzima

The Burmese Rohingya Organisation UK (BROUK) released a new report on 12 June entitled ‘Starving to death: the latest phase of the Rohingya genocide’ detailing the use of deliberate starvation as a strategy by the Myanmar junta and calling for action by the British government and international community.  

The text of the press release for this report is as follows.

The report calls on the British government, as penholder on Burma at the UN Security Council, to urgently convene a meeting to take action on the Burmese military’s continued obstruction of humanitarian aid in Rakhine State and Burma as a whole. This obstruction is in direct breach of UNSC Resolution 2669 as well as the International Court of Justice’s provisional measures order to protect the Rohingya.
