'Genocide Day': 200,000 Rohingya Muslims Rally in Bangladesh Camps

Published August 27th, 2019 - 06:42 GMT

Around 200,000 Rohingya Muslims have rallied in a Bangladesh refugee camp on August 25 to mark 2 years since they fled a violent crackdown by Myanmar forces at the Kutupalong refugee camp in Ukhia.

Amid the brutal August 2017 offensive, at least 740,000 of Rohingya Muslims minority escaped Myanmar’s Rakhine state to join others who had fled earlier persecution.

Moreover, children, women, as well as men shouted “God is Great, Long Live Rohingya” as they marched at the heart of the world’s largest refugee camp.
