KUALA LUMPUR, June 25 (Bernama): The international community must put more pressure on Myanmar Junta as the ongoing crisis in the country has claimed the lives of over 2,000 civilians, said United Nations (UN) Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Myanmar, Thomas Andrews.

Stressing that too much was at stake for Myanmar and its people to accept complacency and inaction by the international community, he said the longer the delay, the more people will suffer.
