Nobel laureates to Suu Kyi: Wake up or face prosecution Nobel laureates to Suu Kyi: Wake up or face prosecution

Three visiting Nobel laureates on Wednesday called for an immediate end to the ongoing genocide against the Rohingya people in Myanmar’s Rakhine state.

The Nobel laureates – Tawakkol Karman of Yemen, Shirin Ebadi of Iran, and Mairead Maguire of Northern Ireland – made the demand at a press conference at Hotel Pan Pacific Sonargaon in Dhaka after wrapping up their visit to Bangladesh on the six-month anniversary of the ongoing Rohingya crisis.

“We can’t remain silent. If we remain silent, we’re indeed complacent with the cruelties and crimes,” Maguire said.
