Wirathu, The Face Of Buddhist Terror, Calls UN Special Rapporteur Ms. Yanghee Lee A Whore

RB News 
January 18, 2015 

Yangon – United Nations Special Rapporteur on the situation of Human Rights in Myanmar, Ms. Yanghee Lee recently visited Myanmar for 10 days and left on January 16, 2015. 

An extremist monk, U Wirathu, who is well known to the world as Burmese Bin-Laden, organized a protest against Ms. Yanghee Lee’s fact-finding mission on January 16th in the afternoon. The protest took place at Kyae Thun Pagoda, on the east side of Shwedagon Pagoda, Bahan Township in Yangon. In the protest there were a few anti-Muslim monks led by U Pamaukkha and anti-Muslim activists led by Nay Myo Wai. There was also a Burmese pro-democracy activist from the United Kingdom, Sindi Thin Mar Oo, who joined as guest speaker, according to a post on Wirathu’s official Facebook

In his Facebook post, he worte “The public remarked that my [Wirathu] speeches were most severe, roughest and toughest amongst all of the speeches [given on that day].

Those who create [activate] Rohingyas are our enemy.
Those who support Rohingyas are our enemy.
Those who propose Rohingyas are our enemy.
Those who discuss and support Rohingyas are our enemy.” 

He added very rudely that “Mrs. Yanghee Lee, you may be a big shot in UN but for our country, [we regarded that] your standard is just of a whore. If you like, you could give your ass to Kalars but we could not give our country to Kalars. Ban Ki-moon, you are [just] an Asian like us; don’t be arrogant on us as we are both Asians.”
