BANGKOK — Amnesty\u00a0International\u00a0says Myanmar has subjected Rohingya Muslims to long-term discrimination that amounts to \u201cdehumanizing apartheid,\u201d in an investigative report that raises questions about what those who’ve fled violence would face if they returned home.<\/p>\n

Since late August, more than 620,000 Rohingya have fled Myanmar’s Rakhine state into neighbouring Bangladesh, seeking safety from what the military described as \u201cclearance operations.\u201d World leaders have said it’s essential for the violence to stop and for Myanmar to allow the refugees to return home safely.<\/p>\n

Amnesty\u00a0International\u00a0compiled two years’ worth of interviews and evidence in its report Tuesday detailing how Rohingya lived within Myanmar, subjected to a \u201cvicious system of state-sponsored, institutionalized discrimination that amounts to apartheid.\u201d<\/p>\n

The rights group said the conditions met the definition of crimes against humanity.<\/p>\n
