Published by ABC on May 25, 2024
Tens of thousands of Muslim Rohingya are running for their lives as fighting rages between the military and the Arakan Army, a powerful ethnic armed group in the western state of Rakhine.
Many of the Rohingyas forced from their homes are survivors of the army's brutal crackdown in 2017 which is now the subject of a United Nations genocide court case.
GUEST: Maung Zarni, exiled human rights activist; co-founder of the Free Rohingya Coalition and FORSEA, an organization of Southeast Asian human rights defenders.
