UNITED NATIONS-authorised investigators called today for Myanmar military leaders to be prosecuted for genocide against Rohingya Muslims, taking the unusual step of identifying six by name.

Their call, accompanying a first report by the three-member “fact-finding mission” and their team, working under a mandate from the UN human rights council, amounts to some of the strongest language yet from UN officials.

They have meticulously assembled hundreds of accounts from expatriate Rohingya, as well as satellite footage and other information to assemble the report.
