Ramadan justice for Burma’s Muslims
To OIC Sec. General Ekmeleddin İhsanoğlu, Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, and all OIC Member States:
As Ramadan comes to a close, the month of perseverance, mercy, compassion and charity, we call upon you to address the urgent plight of the persecuted Rohingya of Myanmar, including providing immediate humanitarian aid to Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh. The ban on the life-saving work of organizations in Bangladesh, like Doctors Without Borders, Muslim Aid and Action Against Hunger, must be reversed immediately.

Rohingya refugees who have made it into Bangladesh are at risk after the Bangladeshi government ordered important relief charities shut down, saying the refugees aren’t their responsibility. But people powered compassion, coupled with commitments of financial aid from the important Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), could push Bangladesh to reverse the ban and rescue the Rohingya.
Next week all 57 OIC members countries, including Bangladesh, are meeting in Saudi Arabia for an emergency summit to address the crisis. OIC Chief Ekmeleddin İhsanoğlu will urge Bangladesh to show mercy and compassion towards Rohingya refugees, but if his call is supported by hundreds of thousands, it will be impossible to ignore. Sign the urgent petition now and share with everyone you know - we’ll deliver it directly to the OIC meetings next week when we reach 100,000 signers.
