ICC Seeks Arrest Warrant for Myanmar Junta Chief Min Aung Hlaing
The International Criminal Court's chief prosecutor is seeking an arrest warrant for Myanmar's military leader, Min Aung Hlaing, for crimes against humanity related to the persecution of the Rohingya minority. This move follows a lengthy investigation into the military's actions in 2016 and 2017, which forced over 700,000 Rohingya to flee to Bangladesh. The request for the warrant is seen as a significant step towards justice for the Rohingya, who continue to face persecution. The decision now awaits a ruling from a panel of ICC judges.
