Rohingya refugees have pleaded with the UN Security Council to help them to safely return to their homes in Myanmar and for justice for the killings, rape and arson that has taken place at the hands of the Myanmar military.

Security Council envoys visited the Kutupalong refugee camp in Bangladesh which houses many of the 700, 000 refugees which fled Myanmar’s Rakhine state.

The envoys will today travel to Myanmar to meet with its de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi, who has drawn condemnation for her handling of the crisis.
