Rights Group Files Genocide Complaint Against Myanmar Junta Chief: Indonesian AG

JAKARTA—Rohingya representatives and a rights group filed a complaint Monday with Indonesia’s attorney general against Myanmar junta chief-turned-president-elect Min Aung Hlaing for alleged rights abuses against the minority group, the prosecutor’s office in Jakarta told AFP.

Myanmar’s military, which grabbed power in a 2021 coup, has for decades been accused of rights abuses, mostly targeting the country’s ethnic minorities including the Rohingya.

The complaint was filed in Indonesia by a Rohingya woman who fled from Myanmar, and other figures including former Indonesian Attorney General Marzuki Darusman and representatives of local rights group KontraS, the office’s spokesman Anang Supriatna told AFP.
