Rohingya Militants: Rally and Toronto Saturday

rohingya militants: It is not acceptable to Canadians and I am very proud that Canadians are raising their voices here in Canada, according to CBC. The rally was one of two held Saturday attended by hundreds that called for an end to the violence that has forced nearly 400,000 Rohingya to flee since late August when Myanmar security forces began a series of what they have dubbed 'clearance operations' after Rohingya militants attacked police posts. Based on the reports, this looks a lot like ethnic cleansing and that is not acceptable, Freeland said at a rally in Toronto Saturday organized by the the Burma Task Force. Another rally was held on the steps of Ontario's legislature at Queen's Park. On Saturday, Freeland announced Canada's ambassador to Myanmar will seek entry into the once-Muslim-majority state of Rakhine, which independent monitors have so far not been allowed to enter.
