Myanmar has not stopped its ethnic cleansing of the Rohingya people in Rakhine state, a United Nations human rights official said on Tuesday.
The UN envoy’s assessment of a continued “campaign of terror and forced starvation” comes six months after a military crackdown caused a mass exodus of Rohingya Muslims.
Some 700,000 people have fled to neighbouring Bangladesh since August.
They have since told of murder, rape and arson by soldiers and vigilantes.
