Myanmar's de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi on Monday (Nov 28) postponed a visit to Indonesia after protests there over her country's bloody crackdown on Rohingya Muslims and a thwarted plot to attack its Jakarta embassy.
Thousands of desperate Rohingya have flooded over the border from Myanmar's Rakhine state into Bangladesh in the past week, making horrifying claims of gang rape, torture and murder at the hands of security forces.
The Nobel laureate has faced a growing international backlash for what a UN official has said amounts to a campaign of ethnic cleansing.
Suu Kyi's government has denied the allegations, saying the army is hunting "terrorists" behind deadly raids on police posts last month. (Courtesy of channelnewsasia.com)
