Ensure safe Rohingya return, Myanmar told

Bangkok: The UN chief urged Myanmar to ensure the “safe” return of Rohingya refugees driven out by army operations, a plea made in front of Aung San Suu Kyi more than two years since her country cracked down on the Muslim minority.

Speaking at a summit of South-East Asian leaders in Bangkok – with Myanmar’s de facto head Suu Kyi in the room – Antonio Guterres said he remains “deeply concerned” about the plight of the Rohingya.
