Myanmar's Muslims 'barred from Suu Kyi meet' in Japan

Members of Myanmar's Muslim minority Rohingya community said yesterday they have been barred from a gathering to welcome democracy hero Aung San Suu Kyi when she visits Japan.
Suu Kyi is expected from Saturday in her first visit to the country for nearly three decades, after time spent as a researcher at Kyoto University in 1985-6.
During her six-day trip, she is expected to have meetings with some of the approximately 10,000 Burmese who live in Japan, as well as with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida.
But Zaw Min Htut, 42, the leader of some 200 Rohingya Muslims who live in Japan, said his people had been told they were not wanted at events to welcome Suu Kyi.
