Over the past 50 years, discriminatory citizenship laws imposed by the Burmese government have systematically stripped over one million Rohingya in western Burma of their citizenship. In Burma, the Rohingya are denied almost all social, economic and civil rights. Since the mid 1990's hundreds of thousands of stateless Rohingya have fled from Burma to the southern part of neighboring Bangladesh. Blind in one eye after being beaten in the head during forced labor, the man fled from Burma to Bangladesh in the mid 1990's.
