He has been advocating network of human rights to promote human rights for Rohingya community. He said It was very painful to see ( Aung San Suu Kyi) the person we regard as a leader, as a democracy icon and as a peace champion to stand there and defend the military and their crimes, while undermining the suffering of the people, undermining the tragedy and violence and denying their existence. He mentioned that his family living in Rakhine have been in a living hell, living in open prisons in their own villages without even having a right to rebuild their houses. He urges the international community to protect the Rohingya community under international laws. This is what he is expecting to see for his community.
