Rohingyas bring a statement to ASEAN Summit, police block them
On Sunday 23 June, the Rohingya Community in Thailand planned to hand a statement to Myanmar, Thailand as ASEAN’s chair, and the leaders of the ASEAN countries, but the police blocked them. They therefore decided not to go to the ASEAN Summit and Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and instead hand the statement to a reporter in order to send a message calling for a nationality, civil rights, the right to return to their land, access to education, medical services, and the legal right to live and work in foreign countries.
