Urge your local City Councillors, Provincial members of Parliament, and Federal members of Parliament to do the same. No nation should get away with genocide in the 21st century. Contact Rohingya Human Rights Network for more info. info@rohingya.netmailto:info@rohingya.net

Dear colleagues,

We wanted to bring to your attention the example of two Canadian cities adopting a motion about "International Accountability for Crimes of Genocide Against the Rohingya and Other Minorities". These actions show great leadership and we hope other cities across Canada will do the same!

Cheers! John Packer
