Following the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights’ (OHCHR) flash report in February, in which it documented mass gang-rape, killings, including of babies and young children, brutal beatings, disappearances and other serious human rights violations by the country’s security forces, Yanghee Lee, the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Myanmar, has concluded a four-day visit to parts of Bangladesh where she met with members of Myanmar’s Rohingya community who fled the violence there following attacks on a border post in early October and the ensuing military operations. In addition to the alleged human rights violations occurring within the context of the security operations that followed the 9 October attacks, Lee also highlighted today how the Government of Myanmar appears to have taken, and continues to take, actions which discriminate against the Rohingya and make their lives even more difficult. Lee called for urgent action by the Government of Myanmar to end the suffering of the Rohingya population in the country.
