Suu Kyi rejects UN Myanmar probe

Aung San Suu Kyi today rejected a decision by UN's rights council to investigate allegations of crimes by Myanmar's security forces against minority Rohingya Muslims. The UN body agreed in March to dispatch a fact-finding mission to Myanmar over claims of murder, rape and torture in Rakhine state. <br/><br/>Suu Kyi, told a press conference with EU diplomatic chief Federica Mogherini during a visit to Brussels, that Myanmar has disassociated from the resolution. <br/><br/>Suu Kyi said, the country would be happy to accept recommendations that were in keeping with the real needs of the region. She said, those recommendations which will divide further the two communities in Rakhine, Myanmar will not accept, because it will not help to resolve the problems that are arising all the time.<br/>
