Both of you have mentioned the ultra-nationalist movement of the Buddhist monks, in particular, and the Buddhist majority. Are there any dissenting voices in that Buddhist majority? Are there any people who are speaking out, as Buddhists, in opposition to these actions against the Rohingya and other minorities? There are a number of minorities that are being persecuted, but of course the Rohingya are suffering the worst. Is anybody speaking out against their own majority and trying to be a voice for human rights in this or for freedom of the press?
