‘The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.’ – Edmund Burke
On 10 Dec 2019 Gambia’s attorney general and justice minister opened his country’s case on behalf of the Rohingyan people against Myanmar at the international court of justice (ICJ) in The Hague.
Owen Bowcott present in the court wrote: “Aung San Suu Kyi … sat impassively through graphic accounts of mass murder and rape perpetrated by Myanmar’s military at the start of a three-day hearing into allegations of genocide at the UN’s highest court.”
Meanwhile in Brisbane Square Noor Zaman, a Rohingyan refugee of 18 years spoke of the need for the Australian people to support his people’s struggle for independence and freedom.
