Rohingya Solidarity Organization President Muhammed Yunus remarked that international communities have done nothing to stop barbaric activities of Myanmar's government for the last nine months and said "if things go like this, there will not be a Muslim minority in Rohingya".
Speaking to the AA reporter, Yunus stated since last year in June, massacre and genocide have been systematically made by Myanmar's government and national guard.
Yunus indicated that Myanmar's government have used different methods and tricks to take Rohingya Muslims out of the country and nearly 30 thousand people were killed in this process.
Rohingya Solidarity Organization President also pointed out that no permission was given for refugees to get out of the camps sites and while surrounded by security forces, refugees can only survive there with the help that will be sent by international communities.
Yunus stated that getting the aid in the camp sites was not possible too because the aid have been held by Buddhist priests who have been supported by the government. Therefore, the aid cannot reach the camps.
"Thousands of people are in jail, thousands of people have migrated, hundreds of women were raped. These events still have been going on. For the past 9 months, international communities have done nothing to stop barbaric activities of Myanmar's government " Yunus also said.

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.”
