UN rights envoy to Myanmar expresses disappointment
U.N.’s human rights envoy Yanghee Lee
Myanmar - Arab Today
The U.N.’s human rights envoy to Myanmar, completing a 12-day fact-finding tour, expressed disappointment over a lack of government effort to tackle problems underlying violence between Buddhists and Muslims in the western state of Rakhine, and exasperation at attempts to impede her investigation.
Yanghee Lee, on her fifth mission to the country, said she saw little improvement in the situation for Muslim ethnic Rohingya in Rakhine, where the army has been accused of human rights violations on a vast scale during counterinsurgency operations following an attack on police outposts along the border with Bangladesh last October, the Washington Post newspaper reported.
She also said the government prevented her from visiting several areas in Rakhine state and in the north where there is armed conflict.
Lee also referred to mysterious killings that seem to be targeting Rohingya who are believed to be cooperating with the government, “leaving many Rohingya civilians terrified, and often caught between violence on both sides.”
