UN envoy in Myanmar amid Muslim crackdown concern "Nobel Prize winner," Aung San Suu Kyi said "Rohingya Muslims should not be considered citizens ,this "ethnic conflict should be investigated and dealt with wisdom."! YANGON:? The United Nations expert on human rights in Myanmar arrived in the country late Sunday, days after the UN voiced fears that efforts to end unrest in Rakhine state had turned into a crackdown on Muslims. UN Special Rapporteur Tomas Ojea Quintana flew into the main city of Yangon for a visit set to include a trip to the restive western state as well as meetings with Myanmar’s president and civil society. It comes after a warning by UN human rights chief Navi Pillay that Muslim communities in Rakhine, particularly the Rohingya minority, were being targeted by security forces. “We have been receiving a stream of reports from independent sources alleging discriminatory and arbitrary responses by security forces, and even their instigation of and involvement in clashes,” she said in a statement Friday. Quintana says that Myanmar has made “significant” progress on reforms under President Thein Sein, who came to power last year, but said the country faced “ongoing human rights challenges”. Violence between Buddhist ethnic Rakhine and Muslim Rohingya communities erupted in early June and have left at least 78 people dead and 70,000 homeless, according to official figures. Unofficial estimates of the death toll were higher, the UN said. Myanmar’s government considers the estimated 800,000 Rohingya in the country to be foreigners while many citizens see them as illegal immigrants from neighbouring Bangladesh and view them with hostility. Earlier this month, Thein Sein told the UN that refugee camps or deportation was the “solution” for the Rohingya, according to his official website. Quintana is set to meet the Myanmar leader in the capital Naypyidaw on Friday following a trip to Rakhine state. By khabrain.info 1

"Nobel Prize w<strong>in</strong>ner," Aung San Suu Kyi said "Roh<strong>in</strong>gya <strong>Muslim</strong>s should not be considered<br />

citizens. she simply said this "ethnic conflict should be <strong>in</strong>vestigated and dealt with wisdom."<br />

The brazenly hypocritical and unscrupulous woman, Aung San Suu Kyi, is very prompt at accus<strong>in</strong>g the<br />

Burmese military of human rights violations when she is under house arrest. But she f<strong>in</strong>ds noth<strong>in</strong>g wrong<br />

when the military helps the Buddhist mobs to murder the <strong>in</strong>nocent <strong>Muslim</strong> m<strong>in</strong>ority of her country.<br />

"Nobel Prize w<strong>in</strong>ner," Aung San Suu Kyi, does not consider <strong>Muslim</strong>s as citizens. Speak<strong>in</strong>g at London<br />

School of Economics meet<strong>in</strong>g on June 2012 dur<strong>in</strong>g her visit to the <strong>UK</strong>, she said "Roh<strong>in</strong>gya <strong>Muslim</strong>s should<br />

not be considered citizens." Later dur<strong>in</strong>g her press conference at Down<strong>in</strong>g Street, she did not condemn<br />

the kill<strong>in</strong>gs of Roh<strong>in</strong>gya <strong>Muslim</strong>s tak<strong>in</strong>g place <strong>in</strong> Burma. Instead, she simply said that this "ethnic conflict<br />

should be <strong>in</strong>vestigated and dealt with wisdom." It wasn't just an <strong>in</strong>sufficient response but a very shock<strong>in</strong>g<br />

one from someone supposed to have won a "Noble Peace Prize."<br />

The notorious master hypocrite and undercover CIA agent, Dalai Lama, cont<strong>in</strong>ues to globe trot without<br />

mention<strong>in</strong>g a s<strong>in</strong>gle word of the dangerously grow<strong>in</strong>g Buddhist <strong>in</strong>tolerance <strong>in</strong> Burma, Thailand, Tibet and<br />

across the world. Sorc zimbio<br />
