Nearly 700,000 Rohingya have fled their villages into Bangladesh since the Myanmar military’s crackdown following Aug. 25 attacks by Rohingya insurgents. The government of Myanmar has refused her entrance to the country. She said such reports must be investigated, “and this is why we’ve called for a fact finding mission … and access for international media to” the areas in northern Rakhine state where the Rohingya live. Lee said that Myanmar’s actions were “amounting to crimes against humanity.”“These are part of the hallmarks of a genocide,” she said. No stones must be left unturned because the people, the victims, the families of the victims definitely deserve an answer,” she said.
