               Burma's Suu Kyi Denounces 2-Child Limit on Muslims

   Burma`s opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi has condemned a policy by
   authorities in the country`s west that revives a two-child limit on
   Muslim Rohingya families.
   Aung San Suu Kyi said Monday the move was illegal "discrimination" that
   violated the Rohingyas` human rights.
   Authorities in Rakhine state, near the border with Bangladesh, have
   reaffirmed a measure enforced in the 1990s that banned Rohingya
   families from having more than two children. The policy applies to two
   Rakhine townships in the state with Muslim majorities.
   The Burmese government does not include its population of about 800,000
   Rohingyas as one of its ethnic minorities. It considers them illegal
   immigrants and has denied them citizenship in the Buddhist-majority
   nation.
   In the past, Aung San Suu Kyi has been criticized by rights groups for
   not speaking up for the Rohingya.
