The Islamabad Bar Association (IBA) on Saturday passed a resolution unanimously to condemn Myanmar Muslims’ massacre at the Islamabad District Courts.
The legal fraternity condemned the brutalities of the Myanmar government against the Muslims. They appealed to the Islamic countries, including Pakistan, to build up diplomatic pressure on Myanmar to stop its atrocities on the Muslim population and protect their fundamental human rights forthwith.
Islamabad District Court Bar Association (IDCBA) President Syed Javed Akbar Shah Mashhadi chaired the meeting and said that 700,000 Muslims were living in Myanmar while the Myanmar government was killing 20,000 innocent Muslims every month.
He lamented that the UN as well as the national and international media had become a silent spectator. No one is raising his voice against these brutalities, he added.
Speaking on the occasion, IDCBA General Secretary Chaudhry Ayyub Arbab Gujjar disclosed that in the recent riots 30,000 Muslims had been killed, 10,000 were missing, 5,000 Muslim women raped and 17 Muslim towns had been set on fire.
He said it was a shameful act for all human beings on the globe, adding the International Bar Association must take a serious notice of it and ease tension between the Muslims and Buddhists of Myanmar.
The lawyers decided to raise funds for the financial support of the Muslims living at the borders of Myanmar and Bangladesh.
