Major demo being held in Manchester to highlight Rohingya genocide
A major demonstration is being held in Manchester this weekend to highlight the ongoing atrocities being committed upon the Rohingya Muslims.
The violence has killed hundreds and driven at least 370,000 Rohingya over the border into Bangladesh in less than three weeks.
In this Tuesday, September 12, 2017 photo, a Rohingya refugee distributes food items, donated by locals, among other refugees at a camp for the refugees in New Delhi, India.
The demonstration organised by Drive4Justice will convene at Piccadilly Gardens, Manchester on Sunday 17 September from 1.30pm.
Before then convoys of vehicles will head towards Manchester City Centre from adjoining towns and cities.
