Take steps to revoke Suu Kyi's Nobel Peace Prize
The Supreme Court Bar Association has urged the United Nations and world leaders to take steps to rovoke the Nobel Prize from Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi, if she does not step in to stop repression and torture on the Rohingyas.
“Humanity is being violated in Myanmar and the brutality is taking place at the direction and instigation of Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi-led government… We are urging the United Nations and the world leaders to take steps regarding how the Nobel Prize can be taken back from her if she does not stop repression and torture on the Rohingyas,” said SCBA President Advocate Zainul Abedin.
He said this while reading out a written statement before the reporters at a press conference organised by the association in its auditorium on Wednesday afternoon.
The SCBA president requested the Bangladesh law enforcers to give shelter to the Rohingyas fleeing from Myanmar.
The repression and cruelty by Myanmar army, police and border force on the minority Rohingyas have crossed all the records, he said.
He said their [security forces of Myanmar] behaviour is a clear violation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1948 and UN's International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights.
The SCBA president demanded that the Bangladesh government and local administration ensure the lives and properties of the Rohingyas who have taken shelter in the country, and to send them back to Myanmar through discussing with the Myanmar government.
He also urged the Bangladesh government to enhance diplomatic efforts to resolve the Rohingya-related crisis.
SCBA Secretary Barrister AM Mahbub Uddin Khokon also spoke to the occasion.
Meanwhile, Bangladesh Bar Council yesterday demanded that the world community including the United Nations create pressure on Myanmar to take back the Rohingyas who fled to Bangladesh. They also demanded that the world leaders take effective measures towards stopping violence on the Rohingyas.
