ICC prosecutor seeks arrest warrant for Myanmar’s junta leader for crimes against humanity

21 Sept 06:01 Key points summarised by AI

ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan formally requested an arrest warrant for Myanmar's junta leader, Min Aung Hlaing, for alleged crimes against humanity.
The request specifically cites crimes of deportation and persecution committed against Rohingya Muslims between August and December 2017.
This marks the first application for an arrest warrant against a high-level Myanmar official, with the prosecutor indicating that more applications may follow.
The action aims to hold Min Aung Hlaing accountable for the 2017 military crackdown that prompted the exodus of 750,000 Rohingya to Bangladesh.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
