Here are some talking points to help you:
- Reports show the situation in Burma hasn’t improved -- thousands of Rohingya continue to flee. The total is now a staggering 800,000. The Burmese military’s goal to ethnic cleanse the Rohingya is working.
- The Foreign Affairs Council said on October 16 that if the situation did not improve, stronger measures would be considered. I strongly urge you to follow through on this commitment at the 13 November meeting, and pass targeted sanctions on the Burmese military immediately.
- I strongly urge you to invite Mr. Tun Khin to speak in front of the next Foreign Affairs Council meeting. It is critical for decision-makers to hear directly from a Rohingya representative who has witnessed first-hand the horrors taking place.
