@FortifyRights latest call related to Castillo is weird.
One would expect any jurisdiction in the world to investigate any suspicion and allegation of financial misconduct.
Using this case and treating it as equivalent to Turnell, Fenster, or Bowman is utterly bizarre.

To the Burmese activists now expressing their “solidarity” and calling #Rohingya their “brothers and sisters” without ever mentioning Suu Kyi’s role or the role of present NUG “ministers” in a genocide: solidarity without accountability is just opportunism.
Do better.

If you're wondering why so many right wing accounts on here are posting hateful things about the late Pope, the reason is simple: he told them that they should care about other people.
Police officers and military soldiers are also asking for money more openly. At the airport's checkpoints and traffic lights, they will do their best to extort 5-20k MMK.
One told someone we knew they did not have lunch and were hungry.

Kyaw Myint Tun seems to be proud to publish some nonsense in GNLM.

You know it will be great when GNLM uses content from Sputnik.

Someone told us that people who are snatched in #Yangon are then kept in a place for a couple of days. They might be freed if their families are willing to pay 50 Lakhs MMK.
Those who cannot or do not have anyone to do so are conscripted.

Interesting development about #Myanmar.

1️⃣3️⃣ Another significant issue that I encountered was the topic of transitional justice and national reconciliation.
In a striking parallel with the Second World War, Syrian society is deeply fragmented: those with the Assad regime and those against it. However, it is not a matter of black or white. What about those who had to work with the regime to survive? What about those who collaborated with the regime but later turned to the opposition? What about NGOs and humanitarian workers who had to engage with the regime in order to also work with and support the population?
So much mutual resentment.
I witnessed a heated discussion between a former political security officer who had joined the opposition and a member of an NGO with ties to the Presidential Palace, each blaming the other for working with the regime. Then you have Syrians in formerly opposition-held areas who blame both of them for collaborating with the regime.
My fear is that this ultimately leads to the fragmentation of society along the lines of those who worked extensively, moderately, or not at all with the former regime—with the latter being favored and the former marginalized. If so, this will lead to significant conflict and resentment in the long term.
An unsolvable dilemma that will take decades to resolve.
Thoughts @JusticeMyanmar?
On free and fair "elections"...
Always good to read this in a Myanmar SAC-affiliated newspaper, using reporting from Xinhua.
MAH is undoubtedly in awe of his Belarus counterpart.

New leaked video footage analyzed by @FortifyRights shows Arakan Army (AA) soldiers & plain-clothed men torturing & cutting the throats of two detainees.
The Int’l Criminal Court should investigate war crimes committed by the AA in Rakhine State, Myanmar. fortifyrights.org/mya-inv-20…
After this, will POTUS engage with MAL to provide Silk Road with more products and goodies from #Myanmar?

"CBM pumped $144 million in December 2024, over $59 million in November and over $91 million in October into the financial market."
Where is the money coming from?
