Myanmar to study 2-child rule for Rohingya

YANGON: Myanmar will examine a controversial ban imposed on Rohingya Muslims having more than two children, a top official said on Monday, after criticism from the United Nations and rights groups.

Authorities in the strife-torn western state of Rakhine said last month that they had reaffirmed the longstanding rule—which was first introduced during the junta era—in two townships.
