ASEAN to Take Up Rohingya Issue

Waves of Burma's minority Rohingya fleeing oppression and poverty in their country have added pressure on Southeast Asian nations to find a solution to their plight. Leaders of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations are meeting in Thailand this week and are to discuss the issue. But as Daniel Schearf reports from Bangkok, human rights activists and the Rohingya people who escaped Burma have little hope the regional organization will help them.

Hey please stop lying. you are economic refugee. Why you are not stay in Bengaladish. They have been provided so many refugee camps for your people. This is not about political conflict. This is about population bombing in Bengaladish country. We also have many chinese people because we have border with china, they never said that they are chinhinya. You should be proud for your Bengalie people. Please do not try to make up the other people history.
