What Will the UN Fact-Finding Mission’s Report Mean for Rohingya?

Today on the @UN #dayofdemocracy we must remember the 2 @Reuters journalists sentenced to 7yrs for doing their jobs. Across the world press freedoms are being curtailed. The UK will continue to call out the violation of human rights wherever we see it.

Aung Suu Kyi said conviction of @Reuters journalists in #Myanmar upheld the rule of law. She is wrong: rule of law does NOT mean improper enforcement of arbitrary rules in violation of human rights, which is what happened in trial of Wa Lone & Kyaw Soe Oohttps://t.co/FnUGYjRVjl

Finally, Aung San Suu Kyi breaks her policy of silence on jailed @Reuters journalists Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo. But what she has to say is nothing short of shameful. What a disappointment. https://t.co/Zn14LEYSi7 #FreeWaLoneKyawSoeOo

The govt of #Vietnam should listen to its citizens instead of bullying critics.
