Iranian parliament urges intl. community to stop Myanmar massacres

TEHRAN,July 23(MNA) – In a statement issued on Sunday, 232 Iranian MPs condemned the killing of Muslims in Myanmar and called on the international community to take action to help stop the massacres. In the statement, the MPs also condemned terrorist attacks being carried out in Syria with the support of the West. Following is the text of the statement: Inhumane actions and dreadful crimes in Myanmar, which have led to the killing of innocent and Muslim people, further revealed the imperialist and self-serving nature of the self-proclaimed advocates of human rights. This is not the first time that the world’s free-thinking people are witnessing the shameful silence and discriminatory approach of the global hegemons and their puppet organizations in the face of genocide and terrorist actions that are in violation of human rights. Unfortunately, today, the governments that are making the claim of defending human rights are making other claims that have no use for them except exploitation, plunder, and the advancement of their economic interests and their hegemonistic purposes. Therefore, terrorist actions in Syria, supported by the hegemonistic powers and the Zionist regime, are of the same nature. While condemning these inhuman actions, the representatives in the Majlis expect international organizations, human rights institutions, (and) especially Muslim countries, to announce the stance necessary to help restore the rights of Muslims in Myanmar and fulfill their religious and humanitarian duty and continue their international efforts to help politically resolve the current Syrian crisis.
