Stop the Genocide in Myanmar!
The Rohingya have been described as the world's most persecuted people. "They have told horrifying stories of rapes, killings and house burnings, which the Government of Myanmar has claimed is 'false' and 'distorted'." - The BBC News, 10 January 2017
"Members of Myanmar's Army and the police have slaughtered hundreds of men, women and children, gang-raped women and girls, and forced as many as 90,000 Rohingya Muslims from their homes, according to a United Nations reported released on Friday." - Nick Cumming-Bruce, New York Times, 03 February 2017
DALLAS PEACE AND JUSTICE CENTER has started a letter-writing campaign to officials in the Consulate of Myanmar in the US to stop the genocide in Myanmar.
