Party demands immediate halt to the ongoing brutalities against Rohingya Muslims; restoration of their citizenship

Jamaat-e-Islami declares nationwide peaceful demonstration on Monday

Secretary General of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami, Dr. Shafiqur Rahman has issued the following statement on 9th September, 2017 declaring nationwide peaceful demonstration on Monday 11th September demanding immediate halt to the ongoing mass killings, rapes, tortures, oppression and arson of the Myanmar government against the Rohingya Muslims and also to press the demand of restoring their citizenships to ensure their safe accommodation in own territory.

“The world communities are shocked and worried as the government of Myanmar are carrying out unprecedented mass killings, rapes, tortures, oppression and arson against the Rohingya Muslims in order to deport them from their country.

The Rohingya Muslims of Myanmar are facing worst ever mass killings, tortures and repression now days. Around 0.3 millions Rohingya Muslims already have become compelled to flee from their land to get into Bangladeshi territory. Millions more are trying to do the same. The Rohingya crisis has created a huge problem for Bangladesh as well.

In this backdrop, on behalf of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami, I am declaring nationwide peaceful demonstration on Monday 11th September demanding immediate halt to the ongoing mass killings, rapes, tortures, oppression and arson of the Myanmar government against the Rohingya Muslims and also to press the demand of restoring their citizenships in order to secure their lives and properties.

I am urging all the wings and front organizations of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami to make the declared program successful.”
