MPs from all parties have unanimously adopted a motion condemning the acts of the Myanmar military against Rohingya Muslims as an act of genocide. The motion calls for sanctions against the highest levels of the Myanmar military's chain of command for perpetrating "horrific acts." Today, Canada’s House of Commons unanimously adopted a motion recognizing the crimes against the #Rohingya as a genocide & calling on the world to help them. "Many of these violations undoubtedly amount to the gravest crimes under international law," it read. Instead, civilian authorities have spread false narratives, allowed hate speech to flourish and blocked independent investigations, the report says.
