ROHINGYA GROUP APPEALS FOR PROBE INTO ‘MYANMAR’S CRIMES AGAINST ROHINGYA’
Ankara: A group on behalf of Rohingya in Europe has called on the European Union to support a UN-led investigation into “Myanmar’s Crimes against Rohingya.”
According to the source,it was reported earlier last month that the EU decided not to back up the international investigation sought by UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra’ad al-Hussein.
The fresh wave of violence and subsequent reprisals against the civilian population began last year mid October after insurgents, believed to be mostly from the Rohingya minority, attacked Myanmar border posts on October 9, killing nine police officers there.
It said that Myanmar does not allow international media into the affected area in Rakhine State and will not cooperate with a UN probe into the killings, rape and mass arrests of Rohingya is proof of the government’s humanitarian crimes.
