ANNOUNCEMENT
MASS ROHINGYA SOLIDARITY RALLY – THE INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE
Dear peace and justice-loving people from all over the world – Rohingya and non-Rohingya,
May peace be upon you all!
The 10th of December is a historic day not only for Rohingya, but also other ethnic minorities in Myanmar. This is the day on which a new chapter of long-awaited justice and accountability for Rohingya victims of Myanmar Genocide will be opened. On this day, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) will begin the hearing of the case filed by The Gambia against Myanmar for its genocide against the Rohingya minority.
The Rohingya community believes that the international community has finally heard the cries and calls for the justice of thousands of Rohingya being killed during decades-long genocidal operations by Myanmar. The justice and accountability has not been served despite the well-documented accounts of genocide with intents to destroy the community as a whole, resulted in stripping of citizenship, right to self-identity, denial of freedom of movement, religion, education, healthcare, livelihood, and expulsion of over a million of Rohingya from their homes coupled with mass murders, rapes and destructions of houses and properties.
The community steadfastly believes that justice will take its course to prevail.
On these days of 10th and 11th December, The European Rohingya Council (ERC) and Myanmar Muslims Association Netherlands (MMAN) is organizing the Mass Rohingya Solidarity Rally in front of the ICJ. On these specials days, Rohingya, Kachin, and Karen, Myanmar Muslims, Bangladeshi community and many other people from around the world will join hand-in-hand to show support for the long-awaited justice for Rohingya.
