International Criminal Court Prosecutor Karim A.A. Khan KC on Wednesday sought an arrest warrant for Myanmar General and Acting President Min Aung Hlaing. The ICC alleges crimes against humanity targeting the Rohingya.

Just days after the United Nations accused his military of brutally driving what eventually became 1 million Rohingya out of the country, Myanmar's then-army chief Min Aung Hlaing declared his position on the minority Muslim community.

The International Criminal Court said there are grounds to believe Min Aung Hlaing was responsible for crimes against humanity in a 2017 crackdown on Rohingya.
