Rafsanjani Criticizes World Powers for Ignoring Muslims’ Rights in Palestine, Myanmar

Chairman of Iran’s Expediency Council Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani lashed out at the world powers for ignoring the rights of the Muslims worldwide.
“The super powers’ green light to Israel and sometimes their weaponry and political assistance to the usurper regime has doubled the oppression against the oppressed people of Palestine,” Rafsanjani said in a meeting with a delegation from the international crisis group.

He further pointed to the atrocities made against the Muslims in Myanmar, and said, “Muslims live under much oppression in Myanmar, while international groups do not do anything.”

Last week, a report said Israel is planning to demolish more Palestinian homes and water wells in the occupied West Bank.

Israeli forces invaded the village of Yatma in the occupied West Bank city of Nablus to give eviction orders to three Palestinian families, said Ghassan Daghlas, the Palestinian official in charge of monitoring illegal settlers’ activities in the area, on Tuesday.

The Palestinians’ privately-owned houses are planned to be demolished soon.

Also a staff from the Israeli civil administration backed by military forces arrived in the village of Kherbat al-Fakhit in the Southern West Bank city of al-Khalil (Hebron) and handed two local residents notices for demolishing their two water wells used for collecting rain water for daily supply, said Ra’ed Jubur, an anti-settlement activist.

According to a report by a Southeast Asia-based human rights organization, Myanmar state and central government officials committed crimes against humanity.

Fortify Rights’ report ‘Myanmar: Abolish Abusive Restrictions & Practices Against Rohingya Muslims,’ published leaked documents that allegedly show the state’s involvement in the persecution of the Rohingya minority, Al-Manar reported.

The report highlights human rights violations, including restrictions on freedom of movement, marriage and childbirth.
