Bangkok Desk, Jul 15 (EFE).- Myanmar’s military junta has rejected a recent United Nations Human Rights Council resolution on the plight of the persecuted Rohingya minority, which is not recognized by the country’s authorities.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, controlled by the junta since the Feb. 1 coup, said in a statement that the resolution is based “on false information and one-sided allegations,” the official Global New Light of Myanmar reported Thursday.
It added that the “so-called ‘Rohingya’ … has never been recognized as the ethnic nationality by Myanmar.”
Myanmar governments have considered the Rohingya illegal immigrants from Bangladesh, despite having lived in the country for centuries, and deny them basic rights.
