Rights groups in Myanmar are urging the government to probe the recent destruction of Muslim religious buildings in the country, and bring justice to victims of religiously motivated violence.
In the past month, a mob has partially destroyed a mosque, a school, a Muslim dwelling, a building under construction -- which villagers had accused of being an illegal religious school -- in the southern Bago region, and set fire to another mosque in Myanmar's north and razed it to the ground.
Police announced late Tuesday that they had detained five villagers for burning down the mosque, but no arrests were reported to have been made in Bago, according to a local Muslim leader. (Courtesy of aa.com.tr)
