Oslo Conference to Stop Genocide in Burma Begins Today at Norway's Nobel Institute
Interfaith Community Invited to Join via Live Stream
The Parliament invites the global interfaith community to tune in Tuesday, May 26, beginning 3am EST for the live stream of the Oslo Conference to stop genocide of Rohingya.
Messages of support from a growing bloc of leaders and Nobel Laureates include philanthropist George Soros, Desmond Tutu, Mairead Maguire, and political heads from neighboring nations Malaysia and East Timor.
These calls for justice will implore the global community to understand the persecution of Rohingyas in the style and scale of other recent genocides.
“As hate, anger and fear is rising around the world, it is important that people of compassion feel the pain of peaceful Rohingyas who have become stateless and homeless in their own ancestral land," said Mujahid, Co-Chair of the Conference and chair of the Parliament of the World’s Religions.
