The Burmese Muslims have been under this affliction after 1962 when the Army usurped the power in Burma.\r\n\r\nIt all started on 3rd June 2012 when 11 innocent Muslims were killed by the Burmese Army and the Buddhist mobs after bringing them down from a bus. A vehement protest was carried out in the Muslim majority province of Arakan, but the Protestants fell victims to the tyranny of the mobs and the army. Trying to elude capture and an imminent killing; Burmese Muslims thronged to the Bangladeshi border, but all they met was dismay. The Government of Bangladesh refused to offer them asylum. Over 500 Muslim villages have been incinerated. Thousands have been exterminated. The persecution of the Burmese Muslims at the hands of the Buddhist mobs is at its full swing.\r\n\r\nWe call on the British Government to intervene in Burma by sending in troops to put a stop to this callous killings.","committee_note":null,"state":"closed","signature_count":5,"created_at":"2013-03-23T10:35:23.000Z","updated_at":"2020-02-16T19:28:58.206Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2013-03-25T10:54:19.000Z","closed_at":"2013-06-25T09:54:19.000Z","moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2013-03-23T10:35:23.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}},{"type":"archived-petition","id":14021,"links":{"self":"https://preview.epetitions.website/archived/petitions/14021.json"},"parliament":{"period":"2010-2015","government":"Conservative – Liberal Democrat coalition","dissolution_at":"2015-03-30T23:59:59.000+01:00","response_threshold":10000,"debate_threshold":100000},"attributes":{"action":"New Thames Crossing","background":null,"additional_details":"Build a New Thames Crossing\r\nFrom the New A13/A130  Saddlers Farm Roundabout in Essex\r\nTo Link with  Junction No1- M2 Rochester in Kent\r\nThis would save  thousands of Vehicle movments daily on the A13 and M25 relieving pressure on the the Dartford  Crossing ","committee_note":null,"state":"closed","signature_count":5,"created_at":"2011-08-21T19:31:03.000Z","updated_at":"2020-02-16T19:27:05.633Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2011-08-22T08:37:51.000Z","closed_at":"2012-08-22T08:37:51.000Z","moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2011-08-21T19:31:03.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}},{"type":"archived-petition","id":51311,"links":{"self":"https://preview.epetitions.website/archived/petitions/51311.json"},"parliament":{"period":"2010-2015","government":"Conservative – Liberal Democrat coalition","dissolution_at":"2015-03-30T23:59:59.000+01:00","response_threshold":10000,"debate_threshold":100000},"attributes":{"action":"Fuel tank limit for foreign road transport vehicles coming into the UK","background":null,"additional_details":"Many foreign transport vehicles are fitted with approx 2500 litre fuel storage, to avoid having to purchase fuel in the UK.
