Bangladeshi Muslims are protesting today in Chittagong against the genocide of Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar: “Stop genocide on innocent Rohingya in Arakan, Myanmar.”

There is a distinction made in international law between ethnic cleansing, which is forcible removal of a religious or ethnic group from a particular region, & genocide, which is the complete extermination of an ethnic or religious group. There is no distinction in the methods used to achieve ethnic cleansing & genocide & in some places like Gaza & Arakan state, Myanmar, the distinction becomes useless.

Stop the genocide of Rohingya Muslims. Full solidarity with their struggle against genocide & for human, democratic, civil, & refugee rights.
