Iran: In one of the sharp criticism on Myanmar government Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei called Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi a ‘cruel woman.
In a speech in Tehran, Khamenei said that situation and persecution of Rohingya Muslims marks the “death of the Nobel Peace Prize”.
“A cruel government, at the top of which sits a cruel woman who was awarded a Nobel prize, kills innocent people, sets fire to them, destroys their houses and displaces them and no tangible reaction is seen,” Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said in a speech in Tehran.
According to media reports Khamenie also said that the solution to the Rohingya issue is for ‘Muslim governments to act.’
“We are not saying they should send troops there, but impose political and economic pressure,” Khamenei said.
