We welcome this step by the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court. Some of the most serious violations of international law have been committed against the Rohingya and so far the Burmese military have been allowed to get away with it. #ICC https://t.co/Ss6A5H4LJe

“We believe there are solid grounds for the court to dismiss this matter and to release our journalists,” said Reuters editor-in-chief @stephenjadler. “Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo . . . were simply doing their jobs.” The fight goes on. #FreeWaLoneKyawSoeOo https://t.co/IfX7kU2Fq5

#Myanmar forces always calculated on impunity for atrocity crimes against #Rohingya, and on #China #Russia vetoes in the #UNSC wrt #ICC referral.
But now the ICC prosecutor seeks jurisdiction through #Bangladesh (an ICC member) for crime of deportation. https://t.co/cKDltMkaEe pic.twitter.com/5jcyPXXrLJ

I have to think more about whether I agree, but this is a superb brief from the OTP — easily one of the most legally sophisticated it has ever produced. Anyone know who wrote it? #ICC #Rohingya https://t.co/nbyi2Q5o8Z
