Correction: Myanmar-Kofi Annan story

YANGON, Myanmar (AP) — In a story Aug. 30 about a Facebook post criticizing former U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan, The Associated Press reported erroneously that the Buddhist nationalist group Ma Ba Tha was responsible for the post.

Myanmar's government announced last week that Annan will lead an advisory panel aimed at finding "lasting solutions" to the conflict in Rakhine state, where human rights groups have documented widespread abuses against minority Rohingya Muslims.

Annan was criticized Monday on a page that appeared to be from Ma Ba Tha, a national group led by Buddhist monks that has been accused of helping to incite violence in the region that left hundreds of Muslims dead in 2012.
