Nicholas Koumjian, Head of the Independent Investigative Mechanism for Myanmar (IIMM), went to Bangladesh for a five-day official visit, as announced by the IIMM on January 24.

Koumjian’s visit follows the International Criminal Court (ICC) Prosecutor’s request in November 2024 for an arrest warrant against Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, Commander-in-Chief of the Myanmar Defence Services, on charges of crimes against humanity, including deportation and persecution of the Rohingya.
