Myanmar authorities block anti-Rohingya seminar: [aa.com.tr] Rohingya -- whom the United Nations consider to be the world’s most persecuted ethnic minority -- have been fleeing Myanmar in droves since 2012, in fear of violence that some human rights groups consider to be state sponsored.
An invitation for the seminar planned for Friday said, “internationally claimed historical and cultural evidence is to be presented and discuss to reaffirm that the so-called Rohingyas have never been a part of Rakhine in terms of religion or culture.”
A senior official confirmed to Anadolu Agency on Thursday that Yangon’s regional government had decided Wednesday to block the seminar, expressing concern that it could have sparked anger among the public.
“According to the decision of the cabinet meeting yesterday, we informed the organizers today that [they] were was not permitted to hold the seminar,” the official said on condition of anonymity as he was not authorized to speak with media.
