Atrocities against Muslims in Myanmar/Burma
Staff of World Without Genocide
Sunday, April 12, 2:00 to 4:00
Ethel Berry Room, Southdale Library (to right of room we had been meeting in)
7001 York Ave. S, Edina 55435

Free of charge

On Sunday, April 12 at 2:00 the presenters will be staff of World Without Genocide at William Mitchell College of Law. They will discuss atrocity crimes that have been going on for years against Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar, the former Burma. Myanmar is about 90% Buddhist and 4% Muslim. It has been ruled for many years by a military junta, which has been relaxing its hold only in the last several years. About 140,000 Rohingya are currently in internment camps in Myanmar.

Four Fellows in Human Rights and Law from World Without Genocide will discuss the history of the issue, the current situation, factors that have caused this to happen and challenges faced by the international community in trying to intervene.

Directions:

1. From Highway 100, take the 70th Street exit and go east until you reach York.

2. From I 35W, take the 66th Street exit, go west to York and turn left to reach 70th Street.

3. From Highway 62 (Crosstown), take the Xerxes Ave. exit. Go south. Follow Xerxes as it turns and becomes York, which runs along the east side of Southdale Mall. The intersection with 66th Street can be a bit confusing. Turn left on 70th Street, then right into the parking lot.

At Southdale Library, the Ethel Berry Room is on the second floor near the top of the stairs. It is to the right of the room where we have been meeting recently. There is an elevator at the entrance to the building.

These sessions are open to all so feel free to invite others.
Hope to see you there.
