BRCA invite to join Peaceful Rally in Canberra during Burma President Thein Sein Visit to Australia

Mayu Press,

March 17th, 2013

Serious human rights violations, including arbitrary arrest and detention, destruction of dwellings, religious and ethnic discrimination, forced labor, forced displacement, land grabbing, torture, rape and other forms of sexual violence, and deliberate targeting of innocent Rohingyas in ethnic cleansing , continue to take place across the entire Arakan state where a large Rohingya minority is living.

President Thein Sein is visiting to Australia to do more engagement with Australia. We would like to call to Australian Government to give firm pressure to Burma President Thein Sein to restore Rohingya citizenship right, to provide professional and impartial security to effected communities, to stop violence committed by security forces and Rakhine mob, to give technical and professional expertise on humanitarian assistance to the affected area and to help peacefully coexistence again in Rakhine state.

The persistent poor human rights of Burma people inside Burma continue to suffer human rights abuses while Burmese citizens in Diaspora have traumatized. We, Burmese citizens regardless of race/religion/skin colour/different backgrounds, love peace. If you feel the same too, please stand up and join this “Peaceful Rally to stop the violence, bring back the country to peace/harmony” in Canberra.

Your voice and support is very much crucial in this demonstration and therefore DO JOIN US.

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.”
