Reach out the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor. Dear/Sir Madam, I call to express my deepest concern over the fate of the Rohingya people of Myanmar. I am calling to request your office to stand up for the persistent systematic human rights violations against the Rohingya Muslims. Some of the points to consider, Ø- The recent news reports that more than a 30K+ Rohingya's are trapped in hilly train. Ø- More than 100K + has fled, can we request your office to initiate rehabilitation process. Ø- State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi must rein in her military immediately. Ø- Burma must restore the citizenship of Rohingya, Muslims. Ø- Support the UN investigation into mass rape, killing, and other abuses. Make a demand the Government of Burma permit the UN investigation team to enter Burma. Request to make to the government. Can your office call the Myanmar foreign minister to stop attacks on Rohingya's & Rehabilitate the displaced community. Can your office make a request to the US Ambassador in Myanmar to visit the affected areas and work with the local.
