On Thursday, the city committee on interethnic relations following a meeting with representatives of the national community of Islamic peoples and Muslim clergy condemned this intention. “Recently, on social networks, unknown people have been subject to calls to go out in St. Petersburg to unauthorized rallies in support of the Muslims of Myanmar,” said the appeal adopted by the meeting participants. “These are provocative statements aimed at destabilizing social calm. We appeal to all St. Petersburg Muslims: do not succumb to calls to violate the law, do not do it premature conclusions based on false information. "

“The first thing we can support the Muslims of Myanmar today is the power of prayer,” the document also said.
