Peter claimed that since the government of Myanmar had not signed a few of UN Resolutions, it, therefore, is not fully supporting the human rights cause, adding that it had no right to treat the Muslims like animals and humiliate them.
Other present appealed to all those who believe in one God, and asked them to raise their voice for the sake of humanity. They also demanded the Burmese government give nationality and protection to the Muslim community.
