.rg (Rohingya)
.rg is proposed TLD for Rohingya people, a stateless Indo-Aryan ethnic group who reside in Rakhine State, Myanmar (previously known as Burma) of Southeast Asia. They are mainly Muslim. They live in the Arakan State in western Myanmar, and in the Chittagong Hill Tracts in south-eastern Bangladesh. They are considered refugees by the Burmese and Bangladeshi governments, and are not citizens of either country.
The Rohingya have faced military crackdowns in 1978, 1991–1992, 2012, 2015, 2016–2017 and particularly in 2017-2018, when most of the Rohingya population of Myanmar was driven out of the country, into neighboring Bangladesh.
UN officials and HRW have described Myanmar's persecution of the Rohingya as ethnic cleansing. The UN human rights envoy to Myanmar reported "the long history of discrimination and persecution against the Rohingya community... could amount to crimes against humanity", and there have been warnings of an unfolding genocide. Yanghee Lee, the UN special investigator on Myanmar, believes the country wants to expel its entire Rohingya population.
