Amnesty International said Tuesday that Myanmar’s persecution of Rohingya Muslims fits the legal definition of apartheid, a crime against humanity. “The Myanmar authorities are keeping Rohingya women, men and children segregated and cowed in a dehumanizing system of apartheid,” Anna Neistat, Amnesty’s Senior Director for Research, said in a statement. In a report based on a two-year investigation, the group said that Rohingya, a mostly stateless minority from Myanmar’s western state of Rakhine, are “trapped in a vicious system of state-sponsored, institutionalized discrimination.” More than 621,000 Rohingya have fled the state into neighboring Bangladesh since Aug.
