FILE - In this July 26, 1997, file photo, Mohammad Hamid breaks into tears before his wife, Halima, and their children in Nayapara refugee camp near the border town of Teknaf, 320 kilometers (about 200 miles) southeast Dhaka, Bangladesh. Hamid and his family along with about 21,000 Burmese refugees refused to return home in Burma. Myanmar's Rohingya Muslims have been called the world's most persecuted minority, a people without a country. Recently, in numbers estimated to be nearing 300,000, Rohingya have been fleeing for their lives into already-crowded refugee camps in neighboring Bangladesh. It is the third such mass exodus in four decades. (AP Photo/Pavel Rahman, File)
