"Mr President, this is the second time in two months that we have discussed the situation of Muslims in the Burmese region of Rohingya. Burma’s democratic efforts and economic and geostrategic potential have been confirmed by the recent visit of President Obama.
Nevertheless, the continuing inter-religious atrocities in Rakhine State force us once again to call on the Burmese authorities to seek a peaceful solution to the ongoing problems in the region, which is beset by bloody violence generated by poverty and intolerance. Since June, over 100 000 people have been forced to leave their homes and the situation in the refugee camps is getting worse. There is an increasing number of deaths and disappearances in the Bay of Bengal because refugees trying to reach Malaysia in unsuitable boats have been refused entry to Bangladesh.
The Burmese authorities must act urgently to stop the humanitarian crisis resulting in confrontations between Muslims and Buddhists, and help to start a reconciliation process based on mutual tolerance. We also demand the release of all prisoners of conscience, as a first step in the partial amnesty."@en1
