AMRITSAR; We, the Religious Youth for Peace in Asia, appeal to the authorities in Myanmar to respect the dignity of all religious persons and youth pressing for peaceful dialogue.

We express our solidarity with the many religious youth who have courageously chosen the path to peace through prayer and dialogue. We strongly condemn any use of force on civilians and urge the authorities in Myanmar to come forward without fear and choose peace through dialogue and reconciliation. We also appeal to the Myanmar authorities to release the innocent religious youth and activities immediately. We will pray everyday for the end of violence in Myanmar and for hope to return to this beautiful land. We request governments of  China & India to please press upon the ruling government in Myanmar for amicable & peaceful solution to the situation.
 
United with the Religious Youth of Myanmar who chose peace PEACE is the only way forward.
