Pence Issues Sharp Rebuke to Myanmar's Suu Kyi Over 'Persecution' of Rohingya

Description

According to Reuters, U.S. Vice President Mike Pence expressed the Trump administration’s strongest condemnation yet of Myanmar’s treatment of Rohingya Muslims. The vice president told Myanmar's State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi that “persecution” by her country’s army was “without excuse”. Pence also pressed Suu Kyi to pardon two Reuters journalists who were arrested nearly a year ago and sentenced in September to seven years in prison for breaching the Official Secrets Act.
