ISLAMABAD – In an open letter to United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan said that silence and complete inaction by the UN on the continuing plight and persecution of the Rohingya Muslims of Myanmar is a shameful testatment to the failure of the UN to fulfill its basic principles of upholding human rights and protecting people from genocide.
Khan said that more that 120,000 Rohingya Muslims have fled abroad under desperate circumstances and conditions in the past three years.
“Even today the Rohingyas have been abandoned on the high seas with no humanitarian assistance forthcoming,” he added.
