Veteran US diplomat resigns from Aung San Suu Kyi's 'whitewash' Rohingya panel as pressure builds on Burma leader

Veteran US diplomat Bill Richardson has resigned from an international panel set up to look into the Rohingya crisis.  He claimed the panel was a "whitewash" and accused Aung San Suu Kyi of lacking "moral leadership" on the issue. 

Myanmar's government has not responded, but another member of the panel says Mr Richardson's comments were unfair.  

More than 650 thousand Muslim Rohingya fled to neighbouring Bangladesh last year in the face of a military crackdown.
