The atrocities of the Myanmar security forces have exceeded all the past records. The sighs and cries of the oppressed Rohingya peoples have become the biggest tragedy of our times. So the world communities must come forward to take comprehensive actions to protect and save the Rohingya Muslims. He also urged United Nations, OIC, Arab League and other global forums to take initiatives to defend the Rohingya.
