Free Rohingya Campaign Letter to President Barack Obama

President Barack Obama

The White House

1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW

Washington, DC 20500-0004

Date: November 09, 2012

Dear President Barack Obama,

I would like to congratulate you for your victory in the re-election. The U.S has played a key role in Burma path to democracy. However there is still ongoing human rights violations going on against the Rohingyas in Rakhine ( Arakan) State . The Rohingyas are indigenous people of Burma, who have been facing oppressions for many decades in their native land and are subject to ethnic cleansing.

The current Burma's president, Thein Sein is not doing anything to stop the ongoing oppression and genocide against the Rohingyas . This year June, Then Sein even suggested to United Nations that the Rohingyas should be deported to other countries even though they are native to Burma since 8th century . I request your visit to Burma should not just focus on Burma’s economy, but also resolve the plight of the Rohingya.

Thank you for your kind attention on this matter.

Sincerely,

Ko Ko Naing
Campaign Director ( West Coast)

American Buddhists Promote 969 Movement With Website

Irrawaddy News: July 9, 2013 A group of American Buddhists has launched an English-language website promoting the 969 movement, in response to negative media surrounding the ultra-nationalist Buddhist campaign in Burma. The website aims to dispel “myths” about the movement, with a letter from nationalist monk Wirathu to a Time magazine reporter whose article about 969 was banned in Burma. “We’re not officially endorsed by Ven Wirathu at this time but will send a delegation to his monastery soon,” a spokesperson for the site said via email, adding that the group would create a nonprofit to coordinate “969 activities worldwide in response to religious oppression.”
