Myanmar ‘seriously concerned’ over International Criminal Court move
[DAWN] The government of Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi expressed "serious concern" on Friday over a move by the International Criminal Court prosecutor seeking jurisdiction over alleged deportations of Rohingya Moslems from Myanmar to Bangladesh.Since August, nearly 700,000 Rohingya Moslems have fled a brutal military crackdown in Myanmar, the United Nations ...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships... and aid agencies have said. The refugees have reported killings, rape and arson on a large scale. The United States and the United Nations have described the situation as ethnic cleansing. Myanmar has denied nearly all allegations, saying it waged a legitimate counter-insurgency operation. The army has said its crackdown was provoked by the attacks of Rohingya turbans on more than two dozen police posts and an army base last August. Posted by: Fred 2018-04-15 |
