HERAT CITY-MAZAR-I-SHARIF (SW): Hundreds of residents, religious scholars, civil activists and a number of parliamentarians and provincial council representatives in the provinces of Herat and Balkh, in separate demonstrations condemning the killing of Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar, criticized the Islamic states and international human rights institutions for being silent on the Muslim killings in Myanmar.
Protesters in Herat province uttering slogans against the Muslim killings in Myanmar lamented the silence of Islamic nations on the killings of minority Muslims in Myanmar as treason to Islam.
Mohammad Farman, a resident of Herat, inquired on the silence of the United Nations and global human rights institutions on the slaughter of Muslims in Myanmar.
A number of representatives of the Herat's people in the Wolesi Jirga (lower house) also consider the brutal murder of Muslims in Myanmar as a crime against humanity, and the silence of UN and international human rights organizations questionable.
Meanwhile, protesters in Balkh also condemned the brutal murder of Muslims in Myanmar by the army.
Mohsen Danish, a resident of Mazar-i-Sharif, urged heads of Islamic governments, the international community and human rights organizations to stop the killings.
A number of residents, civil society activists and religious scholars in Paktia province as well condemned the killings of Rohingya Muslims by the Buddhists at a news conference and called on Muslim countries and international organizations to help the minority Muslims in that country.
The recent wave of killing of the Myanmar Muslim minorities began after the Rohingya insurgents carried out an attack on the army bases and the Myanmar Police Headquarters in Rakhine in August when the reciprocal action was carried out by the Myanmar government. In the following days, army forces were blamed for abusing and harassing Rohingya Muslims as a result of which nearly 400 Muslims in Myanmar were killed and thousands more displaced to Bangladesh.
According to Reports, over 60 thousand house belonging to Rohingya Muslims were burnt by government forces, and the refugee numbers have now reached to 123 thousand.
