UN HUMANITARIAN CHIEF CALLS FOR PROBE INTO LATEST VIOLENCE IN
MYANMAR'S RAKHINE STATENew York, Jan 23 2014 12:00PMThe United Nations
humanitarian chief on Thursday voiced deep concern about reports of
alarming levels of violence in Myanmar's Rakhine state, including the
killing of many civilians and a policeman, and called for an immediate
investigation by the authorities.

"I ask the Government of Myanmar to take all necessary measures to
ensure the full protection of all civilians and to enable safe and
continued access by humanitarian staff to the affected areas in order
to assess needs and provide emergency assistance to all those affected
by the recent violence," Valerie Amos, the Under-Secretary-General for
Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, said in a
<"https://docs.unocha.org/sites/dms/Documents/USG%20Amos%20Statement%20on%20Myanmar%2023%20January%202014.pdf">statement.

"I also ask the Government to immediately launch an impartial
investigation into these events and to respect the rights of those
arrested and detained in connection with this incident," she added.

News outlets have reported that security forces killed at least 40
Rohingya Muslims in Maungdaw Township last week, including women and
children. Government officials, meanwhile, have denied these reports.
There were also reports of attacks on police.

Last week, the UN Special Rapporteur on the human rights situation in
Myanmar, Tomás Ojea Quintana, called on the Government to investigate
reports of fatal clashes between security forces and Muslims in
Rakhine state, where over 110,000 people have been uprooted in
Buddhist-Muslim violence in the past 18 months.

Mr. Ojea Quintana said the human rights situation in Rakhine state is
posing one of the most serious threats to the process of democratic
reform and national reconciliation in Myanmar, which has seen the
release of hundreds of prisoners of conscience, greater media freedom,
an active Parliament and efforts to reach a ceasefire with various
rebel groups.Jan 23 2014 12:00PM
