Census data that rights groups fear may lead to problems for Myanmar’s Muslim population is set to be released later this month, after being withheld along with ethnic data until after last year's election.
A government official told Anadolu Agency on Tuesday that the region-by-region breakdown of religion in the country from a Population and Housing Census conducted in 2014 will be available July 21.
“However the release date for census data on ethnicity has yet to be decided,” added Mya Kyaing, the Labor, Immigration and Population Ministry’s permanent secretary. (Courtesy of aa.com.tr)
