YANGON, Myanmar (AP) — A court in Myanmar has charged six Muslims with murder for their alleged role in the death of a Buddhist monk during an outbreak of sectarian violence that shook the country in March, authorities said Tuesday.

The charges issued Monday mark the latest legal action against minority Muslims in the central city of Meikthila, one of several recent flashpoints for anti-Muslim violence that rights groups say includes an organized campaign of “ethnic cleansing” in the Buddhist nation.
