Winnipeggers who have lived in refugee camps in Myanmar are speaking out about the violence against the Rohingya ethnic minority there and asking Canadians to call for an end to it.
On Wednesday evening, Mohammed Tayab, a Rohingya Muslim and Kay Seng, an elder in Winnipeg’s Karen community, will talk about ethnic cleansing in the country they fled. They’ll be joined for a panel discussion on protecting ethnic minorities in Myanmar and elsewhere by Amnesty International’s Humaira Jaleel and University of Manitoba law Prof. Shauna Labman.
The event takes place at IRCOM House, 215 Isabel St., from 7 to 9 p.m. on Nov. 1 and is free.
