Senators Call for Action to Halt Myanmar Slaughter

The United States must act to prevent further ethnic cleansing of the Rohingya minority group in Myanmar and hold perpetrators accountable by international sanction, lawmakers said Tuesday.

“Make no mistake, atrocities are taking place in Burma. We have perpetrators who expect impunity and there’s no reason to doubt that that may in fact occur. This is in fact ethnic cleansing,” said Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD) at a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on the Trump administration response to the Rohingya crisis in Myanmar.
