The Rohingya minority has been described by the United Nations as one of the “world’s most persecuted minorities.” The UN’s High Commissioner for Refugees, Filippo Grandi, recently said that Rohingya Muslims are facing "the most urgent refugee emergency in the world" at this very moment, according to the article. The genocide against Rohingya Muslims in the Rakhine region of the country was reported as being in its “final stages” by the International State Crime Initiative (ISCI) at QMUL almost two years ago, in October 2015.
