Following COVID-19 outbreaks in 2020, Rohingya people have been accused for spreading the disease there. Hateful messages against the ethnic group on social media platforms, such as Twitter and Facebook, are also common. Users also demanded for refoulement of Rohingya people to Myanmar and threatened prominent Rohingya activists and their supporters with physical attacks, murder, and sexual violence.[1] Some comments compared the ethnic group with dogs, parasites, and pigs.[2]
