De facto Myanmar leader and Nobel peace laureate Ahmed told AFP. Aung San Suu Kyi has been under house arrest for more than a year after she was released from prison in 2011 following mass protests against her rule. The refugees, mostly women and children, are joining already overcrowded camps, with another 20,000 people waiting at the Bangladesh border, according to a UK report. Myanmar's western state of Rakhine has seen escalating violence since 2012, with no public comment on the latest round of fighting from Suu Kyi.
