Through the Years → Mette-Marit, Crown Princess of Norway (424/∞)

25 July 2011 | Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway cries as thousands of people gather at a memorial vigil following Friday's twin extremist attacks in Oslo, Norway. Anders Behring Breivik, 32, claimed that he has "two more cells" working with him as he appeared in court today following a bomb blast at a government building in Oslo and a shooting massacre on nearby Utoya Island that killed at least 76 people in all. The death toll was originally reported as 93. Breivik has been detained for eight weeks, four of which in full isolation. (Photo by Paula Bronstein/Getty Images)

Escaping ethnic cleansing, the Rohingya of Myanmar flee to Bangladesh

In Paula Bronstein’s photographs of the Rohingya exodus from Myanmar, there are no shoes. Men, women and children trudge wearily along the embankments of rice paddies, wade muddy rivers or pick their way across flimsy bridges of lashed-together bamboo poles, all in their bare feet, and carrying almost nothing but the occasional bundle of clothes, and their infants.

Bronstein, who has covered wars and refugees from Afghanistan to Sudan to Lesbos, Greece, has been photographing the Rohingya, an essentially stateless Muslim minority among the Buddhist majority in Myanmar, off and on for years. She was drawn back there after a clash with the Myanmar police in August touched off a swift and brutal campaign of ethnic cleansing that in less than two months has driven more than a half-million people from their homes and villages to refugee camps in neighboring Bangladesh.
