Myanmar block UN bid to investigate ethnic cleansing
MYANMAR banned the United Nations from carrying out human rights investigations yesterday as they denied abuses were being committed against Rohingya Muslims.

She had been due to assess human rights abuses in the country, including those against Rohingya Muslims in Rakhine state.
