They said that it stands a duty of every Muslim country to raise their voice against such brutalities to stop the ongoing cruelty on Burma Muslims at an earliest. “We urge the Muslim countries to unite over Burma violence and raise their concern in this regard to pressurize the Myanmar government to stop such brutalities,” they added.
Protesters also said the videos circulated on the social media are expressing the alarming situation in Burma.
“We hope the international community will break its silence and will play its role to stop the atrocities on Burma Muslims at an earliest,” they said.
Meanwhile, the protesters later dispersed peacefully.
