The Secretary-General of the Arab League, Ahmed Aboul-Gheit, on Wednesday condemned the violence against the minority Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar.
In a press statement, the Arab League demanded that the authorities in Myanmar shoulder their responsibility and stop the escalation of violations against Muslims as soon as possible.
Mr. Aboul-Gheit also urged the authorities to investigate violations committed against Rohingya Muslims and hold those responsible accountable, referring to reports, including that of the United Nations, which raised the concerns of Arab and Muslim people.
Media reports said violence erupted in Myanmar's Rakhine state on 25th August when security forces launched an operation against the Rohingya Muslim community. According to the UN on Tuesday, 123,600 Rohingya Muslims have crossed into Bangladesh since the crackdown began.
