During the week of Rohingya Genocide Remembrance Day, we cannot turn a blind eye to the reality that the persecution of the Rohingya did not end in 2017.

We stand with #Rohingya today on the 9th anniversary of their genocide. Rohingya continue to endure systematic persecution, discrimination, and dire humanitarian conditions. The international community must not abandon them. Justice and accountability remain urgent.

The 2017 genocide did not begin overnight. For decades, Rohingya were systematically stripped of citizenship, identity, freedom of movement, and belonging through discriminatory laws, military operations, forced displacement, and persecution.
