Has Agreed to Investigate Myanmar's Alleged Abuse of Rohingya --- ## Transcript It is clearly concern in relation of the [ UNKNOWN ] [ UNKNOWN ] country but lets be frank my main concern is relation to the dramatic violations of human rights that occurred in the country and led to the to 600 thousand people being forced to flee the country And probably the reason why these journalists arrested, were arrested is because they were reporting on what they have saw, what they have seen in relation to these massive human tragedy. I think it's important that international community does everything possible to allow not only for the journalists to be released and the freedom of press is very important. But also allow for those reasons that might justify or might have justified the reason or the reasons of the arrest to disappear which means for humanitarian aid to be effectively delivered for violence to be effectively contained, for reconciliation to be promoted and for the rights of return, Of this community to be fully respected and implemented. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"The Head of the U.N.
