Rohingya crisis deteriorating fast: Nobel laureates
Twelve Nobel laureates and 18 other eminent global citizens have sent an open letter to the president and member states of UN Security Council urging them to intervene immediately to end the humanitarian crisis in Myanmar’s Rakhine State.
The letter titled “Rohingya Crisis is Deteriorating Very Fast” came before a UN Security Council meeting on Rohingya crisis “most likely” to be held on Sep 13.
“We call on UNSC to intervene immediately by using all available means,” they wrote in the letter.
“We request you to take immediate action for cessation of indiscriminate military attack on innocent civilians that is forcing them to leave their home and flee country to turn into stateless people.”
