Free Journalists Jailed for Reporting Rohingya Genocide

Evil thrives in the darkness. From South Sudan to Sarajevo to the Congo and Cambodia, where the media spotlight is absent, atrocities have flourished.

Unfortunately, the light of truth is dimmer today as two Reuters journalists languish in a Myanmar jail — seemingly for the crime of turning the media spotlight on the government's abuses against the Rohingya people.

Myanmar's government has embarked on a horrific ethnic cleansing campaign against the Rohingya people within its borders.

These brutal abuses have forced an estimated 625,000 Rohingya to flee Myanmar for neighboring Bangladesh. In fact, Aung San Suu Kyi — once lauded as a champion of human rights — and Myanmar President Htin Kyaw could be complicit in genocide.

According to Human Rights Watch, the army carried out systematic killings and rape of several hundred Rohingya Muslims in Tula Toli village in Rakhine State on August 30, 2017. The Tula massacre is hardly an isolated incident either. Since October, the army has razed 40 entire villages.

Join us in calling on Myanmar's president to immediately free the two Reuters journalists who were arrested while covering human rights violations in the Southeast Asian country. But we need your help to amp up international pressure to secure their freedom and sound the alarm about the horrors occuring in Myamar

By adding your name to this petition, you'll increase international pressure to free these journalists and sound the alarm about the Rohingya genocide. Please sign the petition now.
