- description: police video showing officers standing by while Buddhist rioters attacked minority Muslims in the town of Meiktila. The footage shows a mob destroying a Muslim gold shop and then setting fire to houses. A man thought to be a Muslim is seen on fire. It was filmed last month, when at least 43 people were killed in Meiktila. The EU is expected to decide this week whether to lift sanctions it imposed on Burma over its repression of democracy. It is thought likely that despite concerns about the treatment of minorities, Brussels will on Monday confirm that sanctions have now permanently lifted, the BBC's Jonah Fisher reports from Singapore. They were suspended a year ago. An arms embargo is expected to remain in place.
