United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, UNHCR, Filippo Grandi answers questions from reporters during a press conference Bangkok, Thailand, Friday, July 7, 2017. Before arriving in Bangkok the UN high commissioner had visited neighbouring refugees and leaders in neighbouring Myanmar. Grandi said he spent two days in Myanmar's Rakhine State where Muslim Rohingya are placed and being persecuted by the country's predominantly Buddhist population. The Rohingya have long been denied citizenship, freedom of movement and basic rights in Myanmar, a country that largely sees them as foreigners from neighbouring Bangladesh even though most were born there.
