    The Rohingya people are a stateless ethnic group that primarily resides in Myanmar. They are majority Muslim and face severe restrictions on freedom of movement, education, and employment. Most Rohingya arrived in Myanmar during British colonial rule or in the 20th century. In the 1970s, the Myanmar military began brutal crackdowns against them. A 1982 law denied Rohingya citizenship. In recent years, conflicts have caused hundreds of thousands of Rohingya to flee to refugee camps in Bangladesh due to violence committed against them by the Myanmar military and Buddhist extremists. Their future remains uncertain.
