A parliamentary delegation of the Union of Member States of the Organization of the Islamic Cooperation (OIC) intends to travel to Bangladesh to visit the Rohingya refugee camps and see their situation closely.
During a meeting on October 7, the Organization of the Islamic Cooperation (OIC) decided to form a delegation to visit the Rohingya refugee camps in Bangladesh, at the request of Turkey.
They added that the delegation will include members of the Executive Committee of the Organization of the Islamic Cooperation States, noting that non-members of the Executive Committee will be able to join the delegation.
Since August 25th, Myanmar’s army and Buddhist militias have committed crimes, attacks and brutal massacres against the Muslim minority Rohingya, which have killed thousands and displaced hundreds of thousands of innocent people, according to local activists.
Since that date, some 519,000 Rohingya Muslims have crossed into Arakan, west of Myanmar, to Bangladesh, UN Secretary General Stephane Dujarric said on Monday.
