Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi condemned all human rights violations on Tuesday and said that the nation is ready for repatriation of displaced Rohingya Muslims. She also informed that Myanmar is prepared to start a refugee verification process for those who wish to return to the country.
"We don't want Myanmar to be a nation divided by religious beliefs or ethnicities. Hate and fear are main scourges," said Aung San Suu Kyi as she delivered the state of the Union address in state capital Nay Pyi Taw. "Anyone responsible for abuses in troubled Rakhine State would face the law," she warned.
Suu Kyi, in her first address to the nation since attacks by Rohingya Muslim insurgents on August 25 sparked a military response that has forced more than 410,000 Rohingya into Bangladesh, said Myanmar did not fear international scrutiny and was committed to a sustainable solution to the conflict.
"The government has been making every effort to restore peace and stability and to bring harmony in Rakhine communities. We had made a central committee for implementing rule of law & development in Rakhine," she said. Suu Kyi added her country feels deeply for suffering of all groups in Rakhine. "Concerned to hear about Muslims fleeing to Bangladesh."
She also added that Myanmar does not fear international scrutiny, and is committed to sustainable solution in Rakhine state.
