But first the un human rights chief says crimes have been committed against me and miles for him to muslims is a drug al hussein is threatening to seek the u. N. Security councils intervention if the perpetrators are not punished now this comes as Amnesty International accuse me of Security Forces of the systematic rape or murder of hundreds of range of villages which constitute crimes against humanity u. S. Actions say tricks to listens also condemn the violence saying mia models military should be held accountable now ever since august almost six hundred thousand have fled me a mile for bangladesh because of what the u. N. Has described as textbook ethnic cleansing well as a drugged out hussein told mike hanna the situation in mia ma is worsening. The attacks by the American Salvation Army was met by a very methodical and well planned well organized response that did not seem to us to be anything remotely like counterinsurgency but a wholesale displacement of people from Northern Iraq to cox bazaar and bangladesh and so it had all the hallmarks of ethnic cleansing now what monitors had made clear as well is that its not just the enforced removal of people its also the destruction of their homes to prevent them from brittany i mean the confirmation of this will come in two forms one is harmony theyre willing to accept back if its only a trickle then this confirms the ethnic cleansing cleansing hypothesis and the second of course is that all of this would have to be confirmed when one day surely those who have committed or perpetrated these atrocities are holed up before a court and answer to a judge so that the victims can sense that a certain extent justice will be served in particular for many years have passed that not just have an office in young gone but they will be given unfettered access to northern rakhine whenever we feel and deem it necessary and this second part was not forthcoming when we made it an explicit request of.

Continuing reports of extra judicial killings reports of sexual abuses of the first to refer kind of course including rape this is still ongoing notwithstanding the claim that the military operations of largely wrong done this does not seem to be the case but the idea that this could be conducted with impunity i think must be put behind us and and then if.

This paper that fled me on my way the last two days that been stranded you have and has no safety to go to most of the people are exposed to whether the majority are women and children or elderly people the government has given permission to some of the aid agencies to bring Critical Care medicine and food but the idea there still of taking shelter in the pedophile and manmade dike just doesnt make sense are coming under critical review by the u. N. Agencies and other International Aid agencies that why are still kept you know we are one of the border guard officer that were undertaking to shelters and could have said we need a coordinated approach before we take them in that shelter in quite appalling area still the idea this people are still here is a major question what is behind the motive of the government to keep them here still in a very badly expose weather condition.
