Besides, Tens Of Thousands Of Muslims Are Languishing In A Sub-Human And Displaced Situation. They Are Also Confronted By Buddhist Extremists And The Ruling Military Authorities At Every Moment And So The Lives Of Muslims In Burma Could Not Be In A Worse Condition. Muslim Rohingyas In Arakan State, Burma Have Been Facing Continuous Segregation, Starvation, Frequent Attacks And Being Killed At The Average Rate Of 3 Persons In An Hour, While Muslims In Central Burma Are Spending Their Lives In Fear And Tears. In This Regard, The Need For Their Protection And Security Is Very Important And Hence Effective Advocacy And Campaigning Are Very Much Needed To Support Their Fundamental Human Rights, Human Security And Human Dignity In The Spirit Of Achieving Peace And Harmony. Objectives To Focus On Sectarian Violence, Segregation, Displacement, Forcible Expulsions And Intolerance Against Muslim Minorities In Burma; To Create A Better Atmosphere For Exiles With A View To Develop Sympathetic Treatment For The Victims Of Genocide And Humiliations; To Exert Effective Pressure On The Burmese Authorities To Stop The Maltreatment And Violence Against The Muslims Of Burma And To Ensure Their Rights Of Citizenship And Human Dignity Are Respected.
