Human Rights Groups Warn Myanmar Over Rohingya Issue

Pressure on government leaders in Myanmar is being ramped up - as Malaysia has accused its neighbour of committing genocide against the Rohingya Muslim minority. Government leaders in Buddhist-majority Myanmar deny the ethnic cleansing of people they consider illegal immigrants – and "terrorists". Rohingya gunmen are blamed for the killing of nine policemen in October. Since then, dozens of Rohingya have been killed and tens of thousands forced from their homes in a military crackdown.
