Hundreds of Buddhists in Myanmar protest against Rohingya return
Hundreds of hard-line Buddhists, including monks, have protested against a plan by Myanmar’s government for hundreds of thousands of Rohingya to return to the country.
More than 580,000 people from the minority Muslim community and about 30,000 non-Muslims have fled to Bangladesh since August following attacks by Myanmar’s military and Buddhist mobs.
Rohingya refugees say some have been killed and raped and their villages set on fire in Rakhine state, with the UN describing their treatment as a “textbook example” of ethnic cleansing.
The violence followed attacks by Muslim insurgents on troops in Buddhist-majority Myanmar, also known as Burma.
The country’s leader Aung San Suu Kyi said her government was holding talks with Bangladesh about the return of Rohingya.
They would need to prove they were Myanmar residents, but few are thought to have the relevant documents.
