An international conference in London discussed the Rohingya crisis at length and looked at the pertinent issues that continue to plague the world’s most persecuted people, from ethnic cleansing in Myanmar to life as refugees in Bangladesh.
The two-day conference, organized by the Institute for Risk and Disaster Reduction at University College London, ended on Friday. It featured sessions on issues such as state-sponsored violence in Myanmar and the role of gender, religion, and ethics as well as many others.
Among the many panelists, which included professors, academics and activists, were chief guests and keynote speakers Saida Muna Tasneem, Bangladesh’s high commissioner to the U.K., Ireland, and Liberia, and Chris Sidoti, an international human rights lawyer.
