"Exiled To Nowhere"
Over the past 50 years, discriminatory citizenship
laws imposed by the Burmese government have systematically stripped over one
million Rohingya in western Burma of their citizenship. In Burma, the
Rohingya are denied almost all social, economic and civil rights. Since the
mid 1990's hundreds of thousands of stateless Rohingya have fled from Burma
to the southern part of neighboring Bangladesh. Blind in one eye after being
beaten in the head during forced labor, the man fled from Burma to Bangladesh
in the mid 1990's.
