YANGON: An Internet blackout in parts of Myanmar could be cover for"gross human rights violations" in an area where a brutal army crackdown has already forced hundreds of thousands of Rohingya to flee, a UN rights investigator said.
"I fear for all civilians there," said UN Special Rapporteur to Myanmar Yanghee Lee, calling for the immediate lifting of restrictions. The decree was made under the Telecommunications Law, hitting all mobile operators for an unspecified period.Telenor Group said the Ministry of Transport and Communications justified the measure, saying the Internet was being used to"coordinate illegal activities".
Both sides stand accused of committing abuses and dozens of civilians have been killed in crossfire and shellings, even while taking refuge in monasteries.The violence has even spread to near the Rakhine state capital Sittwe with insurgents attacking a naval vessel during the weekend, killing two.

Even we Myanmar go to toilets, the UN would definitely fear that human rights abuses in our way. Tell them to go to hell and raise their human rights abuses cards. See how the head of the hell replies.
Western powers blocked Syria’s external voice - do you think nations knowingly tolerate internal terrorist forces or ethnic militias intent on spreading misinformation to propagate freely? Can people freely report on West Papua, Tibet, Chittagong Hill Tracts, and so on?
