"I talked to @greta about how Congress must sanction the Myanmar military for their act of ethnic cleansing against the Rohingya people. https://www.voanews.com/a/greta-van-susteren-dick-durbin-rohingya-refugees-/4153009.html …

I went to Burma and saw Rohingya men, women, and children in a prison camp. I heard about villages burned to the ground and stories of mass slaughter. I couldn't believe this was going on in the 21st century.

I have legislation that will hold those committing these crimes against humanity accountable. The United States cannot stand by and let this horrific violence against the Rohingya continue."
