Is the Myanmar coup a turning point for the Rohingya?

Protesters in Myanmar continue to defiantly demand the release of Aung San Suu Kyi and other democratically elected leaders who were detained in a military coup.

Some Rohingya have joined the protests in solidarity.

But will this outpouring of sympathy lead to justice for some of the world’s most persecuted people?
