Calls on the Myanmar government and state councilor Aung San Suu Kyi to stop violence against Rohingya Muslims are growing louder as the United Nations estimates some 400,000 people from the ethnic minority have fled to Bangladesh since late last month. Press TV is one of the few News channels who have a correspondent in the country’s biggest city Yangon. Jonny Miller has this report.
