Dear friend

Last week a major report came out which found ‘strong evidence’ that genocide is being committed against the ethnic Rohingya of Burma.

Take action: call on the British government to act today.

The report, a legal analysis by the Lowenstein International Human Rights Clinic at Yale Law School, and the human rights organisation Fortify Rights, called for a UN Commission of Inquiry into the human rights situation in Rakhine State, where most Rohingya in Burma live.

Burma Campaign UK has been campaigning for the establishment of such an inquiry since 2012, following attacks against the Rohingya which met the definition of ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity.

Please email British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond today calling on the British government to support a UN inquiry into human rights violations against the Rohingya.
