28 Feb 2018 – Standing with #RohingyaWomen: Nobel Women Delegation 2018 visited No Man’s Land between the Bangladesh and Burma border today. Here, Nobel peace laureates, Tawakkol Karman and Mairead Maguire, addressed the 6,500 refugees trapped between the two nations to not lose hope in the quest for justice for the Rohingya people. The laureates are calling for the Burmese army to be held accountable for the campaign of genocide perpetrated against the Rohingya people, by being brought before the International Criminal Court.
