Hundreds of thousands of people gathered in Chechnya, Russia on Monday to protest the Myanmar government violent persecution of the Rohingya Muslims, according to Russia's Interior Ministry.

Protesters in Grozny, Chechnya's capital, carried signs and banners demanding an end to the killing of innocents in Myanmar's Rakhine state, where late last month Myanmar security forces launched an unprecedented crackdown on Rohingya Muslims.

"Stop Genocide in Myanmar", "Stop Genocide of Rohingya Muslims", and "Stop Killing Myanmar Muslims," said some of the signs.

Russia's Interior Ministry said around 1.1 million people, including thousands from neighboring regions, gathered in the protests, which ended with noon prayers at Grozny's central mosque, also known as the Heart of Chechnya.

Since the start of the military crackdown on the Rohingya community in Rakhine state on Aug. 25, thousands of Rohingya Muslims have fled to neighboring Bangladesh.

A total of 87,000 mostly Rohingya refugees have arrived in Bangladesh in the past 10 days, the United Nations said on Monday.

Media reports said Myanmar security forces have used disproportionate force, displacing thousands of Rohingya villagers and destroying their homes with mortars and machine guns.

The region has seen tensions simmer between its Buddhist and Muslim populations since communal violence broke out in 2012.

A crackdown launched last October in Maungdaw, where Rohingya make up the majority, led to a UN report on human rights violations and crimes against humanity by security forces.

The UN documented mass gang-rape, killings -- including infants and young children -- brutal beatings, and disappearances. Rohingya representatives have said approximately 400 people were slain during the crackdown.

World
Rohingya Crisis: Chechen Leader Hints Break With Russia If Moscow Condones 'Muslim Genocide'

Thousands of Russian citizens in Chechnya have rallied in support of one of the world's most persecuted minorities, as regional leader Ramzan Kadyrov said he will break with Moscow’s policy if it does not condemn what he called a “genocide of Muslims.”

The statement, made by Kadyrov on YouTube, came as thousands of his fellow Chechen Russians rallied in the city of Grozny to protest a huge uptick in violence against the Rohingya people in southeast Asia.

Almost 90,000 refugees crossed into Bangladesh from nearby Myanmar, where many of them accuse the Myanmar army of rapes, murders and acts of arson.

Kadyrov, a self-described “footsoldier” of Russian President Vladimir Putin and “servant” of Allah, said he would break with the Kremlin if it decided to support the persecutors.

“If...Russia supported these devils that carry out the crimes today, I am against Russia’s position because I have my own views and my own position,” Kadyrov said in his YouTube clip.

The Chechen leader, who himself has been accused of numerous human rights abuses, also said it was not possible for him to send Chechen armed police as military to protect the Rohingya because of “geography,” adding he felt constrained by circumstance.

“If it were my will, if there was the opportunity, I would launch a nuclear hit there,” Kadyrov said. “I would just destroy these people that kill children, women and old people.”

The regional leader, who enjoys broad powers in Chechnya since he switched allegiance to Moscow during the separatist wars in Chechnya during the 1990s, frequently says that Chechnya and Russia’s interests converge. He softened his latest rare statement of intent to break with Moscow, adding he was sure Russia would not commend the persecutors.

Most of Kadyrov’s ire was directed at the United Nations, as he accused the organization of “limiting itself to pathetic statements about its concern.”

Speaking at Monday’s rally, Kadyrov addressed Putin to use “all of [his] authority and influence in the world” to stop the persecution of the Rohingya people, emphasizing the fact that Myanmar is not under economic sanctions.

Ironically it is Russia and China who vetoed a U.N. motion to discuss the plight of the Rohingya people in March. Russia is a longstanding trade and arms partner to the Myanmar government. Last year Moscow signed an agreement of military cooperation with the Myanmar military, intended to boost its readiness for battle. According to The Guardian, the Myanmar government is actually suppressing and blocking U.N. aid from reaching those in need.

But, Chechnya is occupied by Russia... and Russia hates white Muslims, they will hate brown Muslims even more.

I was being facetious. This Rohingya problem started by West, just like Syrian refugees. The west should deal with it

Or better, Chechnya should send some of their militia to help rohingyas to fight with Burmese and make an independent Arakan.

Chechens are very good fighters...

Not necessary...

Chechens have a history to fight for oppressed muslims in many parts of the world! If they anyhow enters Burma, Burma will have hard time to tackle them.

So what is this Chechnya leader talking about? Does he really believe Putin will back the Rohingya muslims over the mostly Buddhist Burmese government who have enjoyed very friendly military and diplomatic ties with Russia for decades now?

The Russian government/Putin is not an ideological regime like some islamic states, in this regard Putin will never forgo Russia's national interests because of some emotional Rohingya "Human rights" issue. Only a fool will think otherwise.
So this kadirov guy better toe Putin's line or he might be replaced I suppose.

I m sure Putin will give preference to its Muslim citizen than Burmese Buddhist extremist. Its common sense.
