When photojournalist Sim Yin traveled to Myanmar in the Spring of 2012, Aung San Suu Kyi's smiling face was plastered on posters and stickers, hats and T-shirts. The air crackled with hope and expectation. Change was finally coming to Myanmar. When Sim returned a year later, in 2013, she could see that change had indeed arrived, and very quickly.

Omi chronicles the heartbreaking plight of Burma's Rohingya refugees, fleeing religious persecution for their Islamic faith. Here, he presents remarkable images of the Rohingya who fled across the border to Bangladesh, where life is better -- but just barely. Today, the UNHCR recognizes about 29,000 Rohingya in Bangladesh as refugees. The Bangladeshi government disagrees, insisting on classifying the Rohingya as illegal immigrants. As a result, the Rohingya receive virtually no support and live in often sub-human conditions. It's common for 16 or more to live together in a single room of barely 30 square feet. Many suffer from chronic malnutrition. As stateless people, their movements are sharply restricted, and even here they are subject to extortion. Adapted from the source document.
