Myanmar’s new president Min Aung Hlaing faces genocide complaint in Indonesia

JAKARTA: A criminal case against Myanmar’s newly-elected President Min Aung ​Hlaing was filed in Indonesia on Monday by a group of civil society organizations, accusing the leader of acts of genocide against the Rohingya ethnic group. Myanmar is a member of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN), but relations have come under strain since a 2021 coup led by Min Aung Hlaing, leading to civil war and a humanitarian crisis, with large numbers of Rohingya Muslims displaced and forced into refugee settlements.
