More than 1200 people have been killed by Buddhist Rakhines armed by the Buddhist Burman (majority ethnic group, also called Bamar) military led govt. in Burma/Myanmar. Some video feeds of protests in Malaysia:
Out of about 2 million Rohingya's, 1.2 million have been systematically purged from Myanmar since Burma got independence in 1947 from Britain. In 1982 they made a clause in their constitution saying that anyone who did not live in the country since before 1823 (British takeover) could not become rightful citizens of Myanmar. Both Rakhines and Burmans claim that they are recent migrants from Bangladesh, whereas many of these Muslims have been in this area since 800 AD.
