The concurrent resolution passed the House Wednesday (December 6). "No group should ever be targeted for elimination based on their religious beliefs," Westerman said. "America must speak with a loud, unified voice and say the targeting of civilians by Burmese security forces is immoral and unjust. This resolution is direct - Burmese Commander-in-Chief Min Aung Hlaing must end attacks on civilians in the state of Rakhine. I pray for those caught in this violence and those seeking refuge in neighboring Bangladesh." | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T22:19:19Z |
