Gambia files Rohingya genocide case against Myanmar at World Court via SABCNewsOnline

A Rohingya Muslim woman cries as she holds her daughter after they were detained by Border Security Force soldiers while crossing the India-Bangladesh border from Bangladesh, at Raimura village on the outskirts of Agartala.’ top court accusing Myanmar of committing genocide against its Rohingya Muslim minority, Gambian Justice Minister Abubacarr Tambadou said on Monday.

“The aim is to get Myanmar to account for its action against its own people: the Rohingya. It is a shame for our generation that we do nothing while genocide is unfolding right under our own eyes.” Myanmar, which has a Buddhist majority, denies accusations of genocide and says its crackdown targeted militant separatists in Rakhine state. In its filing, Gambia asked the court to grant so-called provisional measures to make sure Myanmar immediately “stops atrocities and genocide against its own Rohingya people”.
