In the Thai capital, Bangkok, a group of Bangladeshi Buddhist monks have gathered to protest outside the United Nations.

They're calling on the UN to intervene to halt of attacks on Buddhist communities in the Chittagong Hill Tracts. The attacks were allegedly by Bengali Muslims and the Bangladesh military in late February, leaving at least two people dead, dozens injured and still more missing after a village was set ablaze.
