Aung San Suu Kyi’s government has not spoken out for the Rohingya nor used its powers to release the two Reuters journalists imprisoned for reporting on their plight, says the Christian Science Monitor.
The military are responsible for the ethnic cleansing of Rakhine State. “They have all the levers of power,” says Mark Farmaner, Burma Campaign UK’s director. And the International Criminal court has ruled that it does have jurisdiction to investigate. But Western governments are not pushing for this. “The military got the message that for the so-called greater good of reforms taking place, the international community considers the Rohingya expendable,” Mark Farmaner says.
