Rohingya massacres one year on. Tell Theresa May to act

Dear friend

Tomorrow, Saturday 25th August, it will be one year since the Burmese military began its pre-planned military offensive against Rohingya civilians, using the pretext of attacks on police stations by an armed Rohingya group.

So far, Min Aung Hlaing, the head of the military, has paid no price for what he did.

700,000 Rohingya were driven into Bangladesh.
Villagers were massacred, shot, burned alive, hacked or beaten to death.
Thousands of people were killed.
Thousands of homes were burned and later bulldozed.
Babies were snatched from their parents' arms and thrown into fires or rivers.
There was mass rape against Rohingya women.

The UN has said what happened was ethnic cleansing and may even be genocide.

Sign the petition to Theresa May, asking her to support referring Burma to the International Criminal Court.

When international crimes like this happen, it is the responsibility of the international community to act. These violations of international law should be referred to the International Criminal Court so that those responsible can be investigated and prosecuted.

Inexplicably, the British government, which leads on Burma at the UN Security Council, is refusing to support referring Burma to the International Criminal Court. They are letting Min Aung Hlaing get away with paying no price for what he has done.

Last year British Prime Minister Theresa May claimed that the UK was: "working through the UN and with regional partners to do everything possible to stop this appalling and inhuman destruction of the Rohingya people."

Sign the petition now calling on Theresa May to turn her words into action. It's time for the UK to take a stand and support referring Burma to the International Criminal Court.

If Min Aung Hlaing is allowed to get away with crimes as horrific as this, he'll keep committing them, and many more people will suffer. The UK must act now.

Sign the petition here.

Thank you.
