KUTUPALONG, Bangladesh: Britain?s foreign minister said he would raise the case of two Reuters journalists detained in Myanmar with the country?s leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, on Sunday, referring to a report they authored on violence against minority Rohingya Muslims."It is vital the public knows what happened and the world knows what happened in Rakhine and who was responsible," Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs Boris Johnson told Reuters in Kutupalong refugee camp in Bangladesh. "Talking just to some of my fellow foreign ministers from around the world, there is so much confusion still, and I think the role of journalism in setting the record straight is absolutely vital," Johnson said. Nearly 690,000 Rohingya have fled Myanmar?s Rakhine state and crossed into southern Bangladesh since August, when attacks on security posts by insurgents triggered a military crackdown that the UN has said may amount to genocide.
