Nobel-Prize winning activist Malala Yousafzai is advocating for an end to violence against Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar. 

The 20-year-old Pakistani, who survived being shot by the Taliban in Pakistan, condemned the treatment of the Rohingya from the Burmese government, and called for fellow Nobel Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi to resolve the crisis.

In a statement, Yousafzai called for an end to the violence, granting Rohingya citizenship, and for Pakistan to take in those escaping persecution. 

Posting on instagram, the education activist stated: “Over the last several years, I have repeatedly condemned this tragic and shameful treatment. I am still waiting for my fellow Nobel Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi to do the same. The world is waiting and the Rohingya Muslims are waiting.”

Suu Kyi, who is the State Councellor of Myanmar, has faced growing criticism internationally for failing to stop the attacks upon the Rohingya.
