PETALING JAYA: Although Asean does not interfere in the internal matters of its member states, it should find a way to address the issue of persecution against Muslims in Myanmar said the President of the International Movement for a Just World (JUST) Dr Chandra Muzaffar.

He explained that the Asean, which was formed in 1967 has a policy of non-interference, making it difficult for them to take strong positions with regards to injustices.
