Rohingya’s last hope

In the spotlight, 27 November 2016

by Alex Flor

It’s good to know that the Indonesian people and their government care about the Rohingya in Burma (Myanmar). However, besides demanding for acknowledgement as citizens and improvement of their human rights situation in Burma (Myanmar), Indonesia should underline its commitment by her own means.

06 March 2007
