Atrocities in Rakhine resemble genocide, ethnic cleansing

Say UK MPs

Visiting United Kingdom delegation of conservative friends of Bangladesh comprising three ruling party lawmakers likened the atrocities in Myanmar’s Rakhine State to genocide and ethnic cleansing and voiced their opinion in favour of actions by the international community.
The MPs – Anne Main, Paul Scully and Will Quince – who paid a two-day visit to Cox’s Bazar to have firsthand information on Rohingya plight narrated their experience using strongest possible words based on their conversations with those who had to flee from their homes.
Profusely praising Bangladesh for hosting the persecuted people, the delegation of MPs, led by Anne Main, said that they would put pressure on the Myanmar authorities through their country as well as the international community including the United Nations. They were briefing journalists at the state guesthouse Padma yesterday.  
They unequivocally stated that these are people of Myanmar and they should be allowed to return home safely. The UK lawmakers made it clear that the purpose of their visit was to see social action projects funded by Britain, but said that they felt they should make a trip to Cox’s Bazar to see the people, who suffered from terrible persecution.
“To put it mildly, we got horrific descriptions,” said Main.
The trio said that having returned home, they will report to their leadership for the future course of actions. They also demanded that Myanmar should allow outside world in the affected areas to find out the truth. About the speech of Aung San Suu Kyi, Paul Scully said, “We were expecting more from her.”
“The Myanmar army commander-in-chief can stop this tomorrow. So we have to put pressure on Myanmar army,” he said. “I will not forget what I heard from the people I spoke to,” said Will Quince. To a question, Scully hinted that it is not time yet to think about any action by the international court of justice. When asked about any possibility of unilateral action like NATO in Bosnia, he observed that regional action will be better.
