What the petition asks
British Government to take immediate steps to address the human rights abuses and humanitarian catastrophe engulfing Myanmar’s ethnic Rohingya population. As more evidence emerges, it is clear that the atrocities committed by Myanmar state security forces amount to crimes against humanity.
United Kingdom Government to demand an immediate end to the abuses,We also urge United Kingdom to add to the pressure on Myanmar authorities by seriously considering options such as an arms embargo and targeted financial sanctions against individuals responsible for crimes.We are sure these international organisations would take a completely different and strong situation and respond rapidly if the victims were Jews, Christians, Buddhists, or followers of any religion other than Islam
