Amnesty: Aung San Suu Kyi, her govt burying their heads in sand over violence in Rakhine

Amnesty International today said, Myanmar's State Counsellor, Aung San Suu Kyi and her government are burying their heads in the sand over the violence in Rakhine state. <br/><br/>Criticising Myanmar's leader for failing to condemn the army's alleged abuses, it said Suu Kyi expressed sympathy for the suffering of all people swept up in the violence but did not address accusations of ethnic cleansing. <br/><br/>The Right Group also criticised Myanmar Government for blocking a UN fact-finding mission to probe alleged army atrocities in Rakhine. Amnesty said if Myanmar has nothing to hide, it should allow UN investigators into the country, including Rakhine state.
