YANGON, Aug 22: A 200-strong mob attacked a UN human rights envoy’s car in central Myanmar this week, kicking windows and doors and shouting abuse, as he arrived to investigate Buddhist-led violence against Muslims, the envoy said.
TomDas Ojea Quintana, a UN special rapporteur on human rights, said the attack occurred on Monday at about 10.30 p.M. In Meikhtila, where a wave of anti-Muslim riots in March killed at least 43 people, destroyed hundreds of homes and displaced thousands. (agencies)
