The Rohingya community in Myanmar, particularly in Rakhine state, is enduring severe hardships due to civil war and scarcity of resources like food and clean water. Mohammed, a Rohingya father, expresses his fears for his family's safety amid deteriorating conditions. The situation worsened this month when Bangladesh's Border Guard began detaining and forcing back Rohingya refugees seeking safety, emphasizing the ongoing persecution they face, and raising alarms about the implications for international protection norms for the Rohingya.
The Rohingya have been stateless since Myanmar stripped them of their citizenship four decades ago, making it impossible for them to travel or cross borders legally.

Activist Htway Lwin warns that recent events against Rohingya in Bangladesh risk normalizing the denial of protection for this persecuted group.
Since the start of Myanmar's civil war, the plight of the Rohingya continues to worsen, as demonstrated by their forced repatriation and lack of access to safety.
