Renouncing genocide: APML condemns Burma violence

Urges Muslim countries across the world to come forward to rescue Muslims from the cruelties.

ISLAMABAD: All Pakistan Muslim League (APML) Secretary General Barrister Muhammad Ali Saif, condemning the killing of Muslims in Burma (Myanmar), urged Muslim countries across the world to come forward to rescue Muslims from the cruelties of the Burmes armed forces.

The APML secretary general, in a statement on Sunday, said that over 500 Muslim villages have been incinerated over the last two months while thousands have been exterminated.

He added that human rights organisations have maintained ‘a criminal silence’ up till now and the Muslim world has become callous if it remains undeterred by such genocide.

Saif urged the government to raise their voice in favour of Burmese Muslims at international forums. He said that the Muslim world should unite and work to prevent this kind of deliberate targeted violence.
