New Delhi:
Human Rights Watch Monday urged India to use its influence with
Myanmar authorities to demand an end to attacks on Muslims there.
"India has long maintained that its policy of quiet engagement
with the Burmese authorities has great impact," Meenakshi Ganguly,
the group's South Asia director, said in a statement.
"Now that it is clear that crimes against humanity and ethnic
cleansing are being perpetrated in Arakan state, New Delhi must
press upon the Burmese government to put an immediate stop to the
abuses against the Rohingya (Muslims), hold the perpetrators
accountable, and amend the Citizenship Act to eliminate
discriminatory provisions that have placed the Rohingya at risk of
becoming stateless," she said.
