The Rohingya community

Early day motion 1432, tabled 2 February 2021 by Jim Shannon (DUP). Signed by 9 members.

That this House notes, not for the first time in recent years, that Burmese military leaders have committed crimes against humanity; highlights the brutal assault against the Rohingya community which has displaced hundreds of thousands of men women and children; further notes that this has been described by the UN as a textbook case of ethnic cleansing; and calls on the Government to note that the international community’s failure to take any substantial action against the Burmese military following this assault has emboldened its leaders to act against democracy in Burma and to commit to righting this wrong by using all diplomatic means possible to deliver aid and change in this awful situation.

Signatures by party: DUP 3, Conservative 2, Labour 2, Independent 1, Labour/Co-operative 1.
