1
00:00:00,260 --> 00:00:11,660
Before starting our discussion, [let me say that] one does not know how to justify this really catastrophic issue of [Rohingya Muslims in] Myanmar.

2
00:00:12,930 --> 00:00:25,530
It is indeed a unique incident. Before the eyes of the Islamic countries

3
00:00:26,530 --> 00:00:33,000
[and] Islamic governments, before the eyes of one and a half billion Muslims,

4
00:00:34,060 --> 00:00:45,860
[and] before the eyes of world bodies, which have a claim [to advocating human rights], and [also in plain sight of] hypocrite, [and] lying governments claiming [to be promoting] human rights,

5
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:56,860
[there is] a ruthless government, which is topped by a woman who has won the Nobel [Peace] Prize – this ruthless woman –

6
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:08,260
[and] they are killing a group of defenseless people, set them on fire, destroy their homes, and force them out [of the country].

7
00:01:08,930 --> 00:01:18,060
This is indeed a strange incident and no reaction in the real sense of the word is observed.

8
00:01:18,730 --> 00:01:29,460
Yes, they condemn [this state of affairs, but] what is the use of [mere] condemnation? They [also] release [an occasional] statement [to condemn the situation in Myanmar, but] what effect does it have? They must take practical steps.

9
00:01:30,530 --> 00:01:41,060
First of all, instead of shedding light on the true nature of that issue for people,

10
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:47,800
they [try to] show that it is an issue between Buddhists and Muslims. Yes, it is possible for a bunch of religious bigots

11
00:01:48,130 --> 00:01:54,860
to make some effect in this case, but it is a government, which is doing this; [therefore,] it is a political issue.

12
00:01:55,730 --> 00:02:05,860
At the top of that government is a woman who has won the Nobel [Peace] Prize. They have totally discredited the Nobel [Peace] Prize by doing this.

13
00:02:06,660 --> 00:02:17,730
[Awarding] the Nobel Peace Prize to a human being who is so ruthless! How can a woman be so ruthless?

14
00:02:18,730 --> 00:02:25,330
One is really surprised at this situation that has befallen the humanity across the world.

15
00:02:25,660 --> 00:02:30,800
The solution is that Muslim states get practically involved.

16
00:02:31,730 --> 00:02:43,400
I am not saying that they send troops there, but [they can] exert political pressure, [and] exert economic pressure [on Myanmar]. There are scores of Muslim countries and Muslim governments,

17
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:49,330
some of whom may have trade relations, [and] have economic relations [with Myanmar];

18
00:02:49,930 --> 00:02:56,060
they can use this as a means of exerting pressure on that government, issue warning, keep repeating [that warning],

19
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:04,130
[and] raise their voice against them at global bodies; they must take these steps.

20
00:03:04,130 --> 00:03:07,400
Otherwise, if we simply sit at a corner and condemn [what is happening in Myanmar],

21
00:03:07,660 --> 00:03:14,130
what good could [possibly] come out of this condemnation? The secretary general of the United Nations has condemned [the situation in Myanmar]; he has gone to a lot of trouble [to do this]!

22
00:03:14,660 --> 00:03:20,660
[What we do] must have a practical effect. Where their policies call for,

23
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:28,860
[for example,] sometimes when a criminal has been put under pressure in a country,

24
00:03:29,530 --> 00:03:36,200
they raise Cain, shout aloud, [and] cry out, [because] a criminal has been punished in some place!

25
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:44,530
[However,] several thousand people have been killed here – whose correct number is not clear; I mean, they do not allow the [correct] figure [on Muslims killed in Myanmar] be made public –

26
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:53,600
[while] tens of thousands have become homeless and, unfortunately, no reaction is seen [to these calamities] in any way.

27
00:03:54,400 --> 00:04:00,060
This is a very big incident; yes, nations are angry, [and] are upset,

28
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:06,130
[and] demonstrations and rallies are being held in Muslim countries, but it is for governments to take practical actions;

29
00:04:06,860 --> 00:04:13,200
it is governments, which must take action [in this regard]. Governments must be required to do this.

30
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:20,330
[Member states] of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation must hold a session especial to this case, come together,

31
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:24,730
[and] overview [the situation to] see what can be done for these [Rohingya] Muslims.

32
00:04:24,730 --> 00:04:30,530
Unfortunately, the world is a world of oppression. The Islamic Republic

33
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:37,660
must keep this honor for itself that it openly and explicitly speaks out against oppression;

34
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:45,930
whether this oppression is in those regions, which have been occupied by Zionists, or in

35
00:04:46,260 --> 00:04:54,530
the country of Yemen and [related to] the bombardment of the Yemeni people, or when it is in Bahrain, or in Myanmar or in any other place [in the world];

36
00:04:54,730 --> 00:05:01,200
the Islamic Republic must adopt its brave and explicit position on these [issues]…
