The UN’s special rapporteur on human rights in Myanmar has criticised the country’s leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, for failing to protect the minority Muslim Rohingya community.
The latest fighting in Myanmar’s Rakhine state began 10 days ago when Rohingya fighters attacked police posts and an army base.
At least 400 people have been killed and 87,000 Rohingya have fled to neighbouring Bangladesh.
