Plaintiff also has an aunt and uncle who fled to a refugee camp in Bangladesh,
where they have remained for several years.

Plaintiff remains traumatized by the ethnic violence and threats of violence
inflicted on her and her family.
158.
Plaintiff did not learn that Facebook’s conduct was a cause of her injuries until
8
2021. A reasonable investigation by Plaintiff into the causes of her injuries would not have
9
revealed this information prior to 2021 because Facebook’s role in the Rohingyan genocide was
10
not widely known or well understood within the Rohingya community. Further, even if such
11
information was known to various journalists or investigators at earlier points in time, Plaintiff’s
12
ability to discover such information was significantly hindered by her inability to read or write.
