Tehran – Iranian professor in international laws said the regime of Myanmar is an accomplice in crimes against Muslims and asked international community and NGOs to react.

In a meeting dubbed as 'Considering international and legal aspects of massacre of Muslims in Myanmar and international community responsibility', Alireza Dayhim, from Razavi University, said that a number of Muslims have been killed in Myanmar and, undoubtedly, a group has organized it, so the regime of Myanmar is accused both in supporting the group as well as negligence in preventing the crimes.

He said that this incident is the same as an incident in former Yogslavia and the Myanmar regime behavior has been discriminatory and provocative.

He added regime’s behavior with Muslims as third grade citizens intensified hatred of Buddhists against Muslims and this hatred was approved by the Myanmar government, so it should be said that it was a crime against humanity.

Bahram Mostaqimi, another expert from Tehran University, said the collective attack against Myanmar Hajj pilgrims showed it has been organized.

He added that perpetrators of such crimes must be punished and if the government is not able to do so, the international community should control the situation.

Referring to numerous international conventions such as nations rights convention and convention of 1949, he concluded that the government of Myanmar is violating human rights.

Alireza Dayhim compared the situation in Myanmar with the ones in Darfur, Sudan, and Libya and said the responsibility is not just for Human Right Commission, but the UN Security Council is responsible, too.

He added that silence of the UN Security Council indicated US support against human rights.

He said it is an ethnic cleansing in Myanmar and report of special rapporteur of the Human Right Commission signifies the issue.
