Aung San Suu Kyi

The Nobel laureate's handling of the Rohingya Muslim crisis in Myanmar led to the museum's decision.

The Associated Press interviewed more than two dozen refugees in neighboring Bangladesh, some of whom had time-stamped cellphone videos backing claims of several mass graves.

Myanmar's leader has "moved in a dangerous direction," the veteran negotiator tells NPR. "She doesn't want any dissent," he says. "She's got to change."

"I cannot in good conscience serve in this role," said former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, as he announced his resignation from the Advisory Board on Rakhine State.

Yanghee Lee, the U.N.'s human rights special rapporteur to Myanmar, was told that she will not be allowed to enter the country for the rest of her term. Lee had been scheduled to visit in January.

Amid her country's brutal treatment of the Rohingya, Myanmar civilian leader Suu Kyi's once-saintlike reputation has taken a steep dive.

"Pope Francis was visibly moved as he met the refugees who fled a military crackdown in Myanmar to neighboring Bangladesh," NPR's Sylvia Poggioli reports from Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Operations against the Rohingya look like a "textbook example of ethnic cleansing," the U.N. human rights chief says. But Myanmar's civilian leader, a Nobel Peace Prize winner, denies the allegations.

The plane reportedly lost contact about 30 minutes after it took off from the coastal town of Myeik, bound for Yangon. It was carrying more than 100 people.

It's going to happen "soon," President Obama said during remarks at a joint news conference with Myanmar's de facto leader, Aung San Suu Kyi. He said this comes in light of political reforms.
