Pope Francis asked the congregation to pray "for our Rohingya brothers and sisters"
Vatican City: February 8, 2017
Talking about "migrants chased away, exploited," Pope Francis asked the congregation to pray "for our Rohingya brothers and sisters who are being chased from Myanmar and are fleeing from one place to another because no one wants them.”
“They are good people, they are not Christians, they are peaceful people, they are our brothers and sisters and for years they have been suffering, they are being tortured and killed, simply because they uphold their Muslim faith” he said, before leading the thousands who were in the Paul VI hall in prayer.
