A Rohingya refugee family Muhammad Rofiq (37), and his wife Hamidah (29) with their children, pose for photograph inside of their refugee camp on February 12, 2017 in Medan, North Sumatra, Indonesia. Muhammad Rofiq, have been in refugee camp for six years and are not able to legally work while waiting for registration and resettlement. Thousands of Rohingya Muslims have been stuck in limbo at Indonesia's refugee camps as the plight of Myanmar's ethnic minority continues. Based on local reports, around 800 Rohingya have been granted refugee status by the UNHCR in Indonesia, many from two years ago when approximately 87,000 Rohingya attempted to flee from Myanmar to Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia by boat. As the Burmese government said on Monday it plans to investigate if the police have committed abuses in the northern Rakhine State, waves of Rohingya have fled across into Bangladesh since October last year, most of them living in makeshift camps and refugee centers with harrowing stories on the Burmese army committing human-rights abuses, such as gang rape, arson and extrajudicial killing. The Rohingya, a mostly stateless Muslim group numbering about 1.1 million, are the majority in Rakhine state and smaller communities in Bangladesh, Thailand and Malaysia.
