Target: UN
Region: GLOBAL
Petition Background (Preamble):
The Rohingya are a Muslim ethnic minority living in northern Rakhine state in Western Myanmar. They face religious and ethnic discrimination by Myanmar’s military regime, which refuses to recognize the Rohingya as Myanmar citizens.
The Rohingya people are not considered one of 135 legally recognized ethnic minority groups in Myanmar just because of their religion. Myanmar considers them illegal immigrants from Bangladesh, but they have lived in Myanmar for centuries. Myanmar has killed more than 20000 Muslims in last few months.
