UN rights chief denounces Myanmar's ethnic cleansing
[Al Jazeera] The top UN human rights...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty... official has urged Myanmar to end "brutal security operation" against Rohingya in Rakhine state, calling it "a textbook example of ethnic cleansing". Zeid Ra'ad al-Hussein, addressing the United Nations ...the Oyster Bay money pit... Human Rights Council in Geneva on Monday, said that more than 270,000 people had fled to Bangladesh, with more trapped on the border, amid reports of the burning of villages and extrajudicial killings. "I call on the government to end its current cruel military operation, with accountability for all violations that have occurred, and to reverse the pattern of severe and widespread discrimination against the Rohingya population," Zeid said. "The situation seems a textbook example of ethnic cleansing." Posted by: Fred 2017-09-12 |
