THE junta has cracked down on attempts by media and activists to put the spotlight on the plight of the Rohingya minority in Burma (Myanmar) during Aung San Suu Kyi’s highly-publicized official visit to Thailand.
Authorities forced the cancellation of a press conference and presentation at the Foreign Correspondents Club Thailand (FCCT) premises by the Rohingya Thailand Group on Thursday, amid the government’s concerns that the controversial issue would upset Burma’s de facto leader.
