Indian lawyer to lead UN probe into Rohingya crackdown
The UN has appointed Indian Supreme Court advocate and human rights lawyer Indira Jaising to lead a probe into alleged rape, torture, and killings by security forces against Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar's Rakhine state. Last October, a crackdown by Myanmar's forces in response to attacks by Rohingya insurgents, forced about 75,000 Rohingya Muslims to flee to Bangladesh.
