A small Rohingya community organisation in the UK managed to secure the first ever arrest warrant for a head of the Burmese military, reports Northeast Bylines. Min Aung Hlaing and other senior military leaders now face international arrest warrants.
Zoya Phan, Programme Director from Burma Campaign UK, commented: “Now finally there is progress towards ending impunity. At the end of the day, it is very simple, if a criminal is allowed to get away with their crimes they commit more crimes. Now finally there is an arrest warrant for one of the biggest criminals in the world, the Burmese military.”
