Gambia opens its case against Myanmar by drawing from witness accounts of rapes and killings recorded by UN investigators.

Mass rapes, the burning alive of Muslim Rohingya families in their homes and the killing with knives of dozens of children were described by Gambia's legal team as it set out its genocide case against Myanmar at the UN's highest court on Tuesday.

"To stop these acts of barbarity and brutality that have shocked and continue to shock our collective conscience. To stop this genocide of its own people." "There were dead bodies on the floor: young boys from our village," Loewenstein quoted from one survivor's testimony to the UN fact-finding mission.

"Only in this way can we hope the rights of Gambia and the safety of the Rohingya group be fully protected," said Philippe Sands, another lawyer for the tiny, mostly Muslim West African country.More than 730,000 Rohingya fled Myanmar after the military-led crackdown and were forced into squalid camps across the border in Bangladesh. The UN investigators concluded the military campaign was executed with"genocidal intent".

"It's like Mother Suu went to the frontlines for our country," said 58-year-old Myint Myint Thwin."Therefore to show our support and that we stand with her we joined this march."
