Hundreds of Buddhist monks in Myanmar have staged a rally in support of the president and his proposal to send the members of a Muslim minority group to another country.

數百名緬甸僧侶發動集會，支持總統及其將一個穆斯林少數族群送到其他國家的計畫。

Sunday’s rally in Mandalay is the latest indication of deep sentiment against the Rohingya minority after June violence with ethnic Rakhine Buddhists that left 80 people dead and tens of thousands displaced.

週日在曼德勒的集會，是6月間羅興亞少數族群與若開族佛教徒爆發衝突後，深切的反羅興亞情緒的最新跡象；這場衝突造成80人死亡、數萬人流離失所。

The monks held a banner saying, "Save your motherland Myanmar by supporting the president." President Thein Sein suggested in July that Myanmar send all Rohingya to any country willing to take them, a proposal quickly opposed by the U.N. refugee agency.

僧侶們舉著標語牌，上面寫著︰「支持總統，拯救緬甸祖國。」總統登盛7月間提議，緬甸將所有羅興亞人送到任何願意接受他們的國家，該提議隨即遭聯合國難民署反對。
