Burma’s Aung San Suu Kyi Monday criticised a ban on Rohingya having
more than two children in strife-torn Arakan state as counter to human
rights, in rare comments on the plight of the Muslim group.
The opposition leader, who has been accused by activists of failing to
speak up for the marginalised Rohingya, said she opposed the
controversial rule, imposed by the previous junta and reaffirmed
recently by local authorities in the wake of deadly unrest.
“It is not good to have such discrimination. And it is not in line with
human rights either,” the veteran democracy activist told reporters in
Rangoon, adding she could not confirm whether the policy was being
implemented.
