**** Burma (Myanmar) blocks UN investigator from investigating atrocities against Rohingyas

Yanghee Lee, the United Nations' special investigator on the Rohingya
crisis in Burma (Myanmar), has been blocked from doing any further
investigation by officials from Burma. She had previously made
several invited visits to Burma as part of her investigation, and was
recently invited to come again in January.

After being barred on Wednesday, Lee said that "there must be
something terribly awful happening in Rakhine," referring to years of
genocidal attacks on Muslims, especially Muslim Rohingyas, by
Buddhists, led by led by Buddhist monk Ashin Wirathu and his "969
movement," where 969 is a historic Buddhist sign, referring to the
nine qualities of Buddha, the six qualities of Buddha's teaching, and
nine qualities of the Buddhist community. "969" is supposedly a sign
of peace and happiness, but Wirathu and the Burmese have turned "969"
into a sign of genocide and ethnic cleansing. Buddha must be turning
over in his grave.

In a statement, Lee said:

<QUOTE>"I am puzzled and disappointed by this decision by the
Myanmar Government. This declaration of non-cooperation with my
mandate can only be viewed as a strong indication that there must
be something terribly awful happening in Rakhine, as well as in
the rest of the country.

[After promising continued cooperation two weeks ago,] now I am
being told that this decision to no longer cooperate with me is
based on the statement I made after I visited the country in
July. ...

The Government has repeatedly denied violations of human rights
are occurring throughout Myanmar, particularly in Rakhine
state. They have said that they have nothing to hide, but their
lack of cooperation with my mandate and the fact-finding mission
suggests otherwise."<END QUOTE>


What Lee said in July was that it was "unacceptable" that people
meeting her were watched and even followed by agents.

Lee's official title is UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of
human rights in Myanmar. She has visited Burma six times since she
began her mandate in June 2014, although the government has
consistently refused access to some areas. United Nations
and Reuters and Al-Jazeera (22-July)

**** Burma officials, including Aung San Suu Kyi, may face genocide charges

Zeid Ra'ad al-Hussein, the UN's High Commissioner for Human Rights,
says that after years Buddhist slaughter, rape and ethnic cleansing of
Rohingya Muslims, it's possible that Burma's leader, including Nobel
Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi, may face genocide charges, as
well as Gen Aung Min Hlaing, the head of Burma's army.

Since 2011, I've been using the word "genocide" in an informal sense
to describe the atrocities that Burmese Buddhists are conducting
against Burma's Muslims, especially the Rohingya Muslims.

By 2013, thousands of Buddhists were making frenzied attacks on
Muslims in cities across Burma, with multiple rapes, murders and
atrocities, killing dozens. In one publicized event in the town of
Meiktila, Buddhists took 20 Muslim boys from a madrassa, and hacked
them to death, soaked their bodies in petrol and set them alight,
leaving a blackened patch of ground.

This was a major milestone in Burma's genocide of Muslims, similar to
Kristallnacht, when the Nazi Germans made the same kinds of frenzied,
uncontrolled attacks on Jews in 1938.

These attacks were led by racist Buddhist monk Ashin Wirathu, who
calls himself the "Buddhist Osama bin Laden." He was pictured on the
cover of Time Magazine on July 1, 2013, with a caption, "The Face of
Buddhist Terror." He advocates the extermination of all Muslims in
Burma, and many Buddhists are killing, raping and mutilating Muslims,
burning down their homes and villages, because Wirathu tells them to
do it.

During 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017, the massive genocidal attacks by
Burma's army on Rohingyas have driven over 600,000 Rohingyas into
Bangladesh, killing, raping and mutilating them, burning down their
homes and villages.

The United Nations became particularly alarmed in August 2017 when
some Rohingya activists attacked some Burma border posts, triggering a
massive increase in the genocide and ethnic cleansing of Rohingyas.
An analogy in the US would be that after Black Lives Matter killed a
policemen, if the US army started entering black neighborhoods and
killing, torturing and raping all the black civilian residents,
including women and children.

Burma's Buddhist genocide of Muslims is the second-worst genocide so
far this century, the worst being Bashar al-Assad's Shia/Alawite
genocide of Sunnis in Syria. Aung San Suu Kyi is turning out to be
the Hitler of Burma's genocide.

Although I've used the word "genocide" informally, Zeid Ra'ad
al-Hussein is suggesting that it may actually be proven formally in a
court of law:

<QUOTE>"For obvious reasons, if you're planning to commit
genocide you don't commit it to paper and you don't provide
instructions.

The thresholds for proof are high. But it wouldn't surprise me in
the future if a court were to make such a finding on the basis of
what we see."<END QUOTE>


Zeid said that he spoke to Suu Kyi in February 2017, and asked her to
stop the atrocities:

<QUOTE>"I appealed to her to bring these military operations
to an end. I appealed to her emotional standing ... to do
whatever she could to bring this to a close, and to my great
regret it did not seem to happen."<END QUOTE>

Bangladesh, threatening to destabilize the entire region. BBC and News Corp (Australia) and Straits Times
