JEREMY CORBYN led a Parliamentary debate today in which he called on the British government to “scale up” its efforts to receive and protect Rohingya refugees.
The former Labour leader called on the British government to prevent British companies from trading with companies in Myanmar that are “connected with the military in any way.”
He described the devastating plight of more than 1.5 million Rohingya refugees living in Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and Malaysia.
