Al-Dokbasi urges Arab leaders to protect Syrian people and Muslims in Myanmar   

Kuwait News Agency - 06 August, 2012

Arab Parliament speaker Ali Al-Dokbasi called on Arab leaders to take urgent action to protect the Syrian people from their "murderous regime" and to intervene in order to stop the genocide against Muslims in Myanmar.

Arab leaders were called on to take urgent measures to search for a radical solution to the crisis in Syria, where the regime's killing methods are increasing in brutality.

He later called on Arab and Islamic leaders to intervene immediately to stop the massacres, ethnic cleansing and genocide being practiced by fundamentalist Buddhist groups against Muslims in Myanmar, which is leading to thousands of people dying or being displaced.

Authorities in Myanmar should capture these extremists and bring them to "international justice," he said, calling on the international community and human rights organizations to also intervene and make sure this is carried out.

Furthermore, Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud's call to hold an Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) conference in Makkah from August 14 to 15 was praised as being "for the good of Islam, Muslims and challenges facing the region." With regard to Palestine, the parliamentarian urged Palestinians to achieve national reconciliation in the face of "the Zionist Judaization of Jerusalem and attempts to destroy the Aqsa Mosque, amid the continued detention of several Palestinian and Arab prisoners." "Arabs should unify in a stance that stands in the path of Iran's interference in Arab affairs like Syria, Yemen and Bahrain, its occupation of the Emirati islands and its recently discovered spy network in Kuwait," he suggested.
