Rohingya

The Rohingya Muslims are anethnic minority from Myanmar’s Rakhine State, long denied citizenship and basic rights. Seen as illegal immigrants by the government, they face severe restrictions and persecution. Violence escalated in 2017 when a military crackdown forced over one million Rohingya to flee to Bangladesh after widespread killings, rapes, and village burnings.Today, most live in overcrowded refugee camps in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, under harsh conditions with no clear path to return or resettlement. Many Rohingyas opt to take the perilous journeys at sea to seek asylum in other countries, including Indonesia.
