Following a series of state-sponsored military campaigns involving torture, rape, and mass killings, nearly 800,000 Rohingya, Myanmar’s largest Muslim ethnic minority group, have fled the country since August 2017.
In addition to these attacks, Rohingya and other Muslims throughout the Asian country have, over the last seven years, been the target of intercommunal violence at the hands of Buddhist nationalists.
