The Arab League Secretary General Ahmad Abul-Gheit was quoted by KUNA as saying in a statement that Myanmar’s government should shoulder its responsibilities for such crimes, calling the international community to protect freedom of religion and the rights of minorities.
He referred to reports, including that of the United Nations, which raised concerns of Arab and Muslim people.
Tens of thousands of Rohingya have fled into neighboring countries since August 25, when Rohingya insurgents attacked dozens of police posts and an army base.
