Persecution of the Rohingya

Talk about beating people when they’re down…this is disgraceful on the part of the Bangladeshi government.  I have no words.  An article in the New York Times today documented the beatings, rape, and extremely poor living conditions that the Rohingya minority group, a group of 250,000 refugees from Myanmar living in Bangladesh (the worst off live in Kutupalong camp), experience increasingly.  This group of people fled Myanmar due to their treatment there, which includes a lack of citizenship, abuse, and forced labor, and where they cannot travel, marry or practice their religion freely.

Burmese Refugees Persecuted in Bangladesh
