Myanmar on Wednesday denied media reports that Indian forces had attacked insurgents inside its territory and said it would not tolerate rebel groups using its soil to attack neighbors.

Earlier this week New Delhi said its forces had hunted down a rebel group operating in the mountainous forests of Manipur state, close to Myanmar's long western border.

Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi arrived in China Wednesday for a debut visit that will cast an intriguing light on Beijing's attitude towards the democracy champion and Nobel laureate as she bids to take power.

Suu Kyi emerged from Beijing's main international airport exit wearing a white top and pink sash and surrounded by police and security, before getting into a black sedan, according to an Agence France Presse reporter on the scene.

The Pakistani Taliban on Monday urged Muslims in Myanmar to rise up and fight the country's rulers, saying the Taliban's resources and training facilities were available to help them "take up the sword".

Ehsanullah Ehsan, spokesman for the hardline Jamaat-ul-Ahrar faction of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) movement, said they "shared the grief" of Myanmar's beleaguered Rohingya Muslim minority.

Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai on Monday urged Myanmar leaders to take "immediate action" to prevent the persecution of the country's Rohingya Muslims, most of whom are considered by the government to be illegal immigrants.

The 17-year-old, who was shot by militants in her native Pakistan for campaigning for girls' rights, said that Rohingyas deserved "equal rights and opportunities" and called for them to be integrated into the country.

A Rohingya man suspected of involvement in people trafficking has been shot dead in Bangladesh, police said Monday, as the country battles a migrant crisis.

Police said the 30-year-old man died in an early morning gunfight between two groups of human traffickers in Teknaf near Bangladesh's border with Myanmar.

Myanmar police have arrested more than 90 people for human trafficking offences this year, media reported Monday, but no cases have been uncovered in Rakhine state where persecuted Rohingya have fled in droves.

Police gave a breakdown of their anti-trafficking activities with 56 cases recorded between January and May, the Global New Light of Myanmar reported, citing police captain Min Naing.

Buddhist hardliners in Myanmar's troubled Rakhine state are planning a day of protest against moves to help desperate migrants found adrift on boats in the Bay of Bengal, organizers said Sunday.

Rakhine, one of Myanmar's poorest states, is a tinderbox of tension between its Buddhist majority and a heavily persecuted Rohinghya Muslim minority, many of whom live in displacement camps after deadly unrest erupted there in 2012.

Unwanted by Bangladesh and unwelcome in Myanmar, hundreds of stick-thin migrants found adrift at sea as a transnational trafficking route collapsed are now living in tents on a frontier scrubland.

After weeks crammed together on a boat bound for Malaysia -- a treacherous journey many braved to flee persecution or poverty -- they are back near to where they began.

Myanmar officials on Thursday said most of the 700 migrants found adrift on a boat in its waters a week ago identified themselves as Bangladeshi, after they were driven to a camp near the border.

The migrants' fate has been the subject of a diplomatic tussle between Myanmar and Bangladesh since they were found in the Bay of Bengal on May 29.

Cambodia received its first batch of asylum-seekers from Australian custody on Thursday, with rights groups labeling them "human guinea pigs" for an uncaring policy by Canberra to offload refugees onto other countries.

The migrants -- three Iranians and one ethnic Rohingya from Myanmar -- were flown into Phnom Penh, the capital of one of Southeast Asia's poorest nations with a weak record of upholding human rights.
