While Min Aung Hlaing claims to clamp down on scam centre, Khit Thit Media report that the military, police & officials are taking bribes to run online scamming operations, under an official business license for language schools and karaoke bars.
Where is the @UNinMyanmar@UNReliefChief? Thousands in 1 part of Myanmar alone are facing starvation. Development Media Group reports
3,000+ IDPs in southern Rakhine State are @ risk of starvation. And while people starve, Min Aung Hlaing continues his campaign 4 recognition
#MinAungHlaing's inhumanity knows no bounds. He is blocking the transporting of sanitary pads & baby’s nappies to Arakan. And this is the man attempting to normalise relations with the world after the sham election. Every woman (& every man) should be outraged. Curses on him.
Junta operatives in London forced 2 cancel propaganda event after diaspora groups called for boycott. We must shut down Min Aung Hlaing's global charm offensive wherever it rears its ugly head. Myanmar's murderous dictator & his internatioanl agents can run, but they cannot hide.
According to PEN America's latest annual index, the number of jailed writers globally increased to 401 in 2025 compared to 375 in 2024. Myanmar, with 10 jailed writers, is among the top 10 countries of concern. The pen is mightier than Min Aung Hlaing's sword.
This paper rightly asks "why has Britain gone from leader to laggard on Myanmar?". Please send it to @ukinmyanmar & the @FCDOGovUK demanding an answer. As the former colonial exploiter of Myanmar, the UK has particular responsibilities to Myanmar people.
Why has the British government gone soft on the Burmese military? Our briefing paper details some of the things they could and should be doing. https://t.co/FGcddiFiXc
Amid Buddhist New Year celebrations, Min Aung Hlaing's isolated clique is carrying out
multiple airstrikes in Arakan. Why are diplomats in Yangon supporting his call for ceasefire talks against the will of the people? Myanmar's military must be boycotted not engaged.
Myanmar Dictatorship guilty of massacring 20 children according to the Independent Investigative Mechanism for Myanmar. Why would #ASEAN allow in child killers?
Myanmar's sham "civilian" dictator must understand that he is banned from ASEAN because he is committing mass murder against civilians, not because of discrimination. If innocent, he should let ASEAN know by going to the Philippines, Timor Leste and Indonesia to clear his name.
Greetings. This is not our case, it belongs to the brilliant @brouklondon. They have been very transparent about ASSK. She is one of those against whom there is an arrest warrant. I assume that if she is freed, she will want to clear her name in the Argentinian courts.
@MyanmarAProject Chris, could you please update about Argentine prosecution case as it clearly included Daw Aung San Suu Kyi as one for arrest Warrant?
People supporting your pro bono work would like to know about whether she was definitely indicted.
Roger Stone was convicted on charges including lying to Congress and witness tampering during an investigation into Russian election interference. Trump granted him a pardon in 2020. He's now been employed to lobby by Min Aung Hlaing, reportedly for tens of thousands per month.
MAP's case in the Philippines against Myanmar despot Min Aung Hlaing is often overlooked paticularly by the media https://t.co/TwftJk7qbS It is still wide open. We could still see him brought to justice in Manila.
The net of accountability is closing in on Myanmar's criminal dictator #MinAungHlaing with cases in Indonesia, Timor-Leste, the Philippines, Turkey, Argentina, the @CIJ_ICJ & @IntlCrimCourt. He should be in prison, not the presidential palace.
Excellent piece on the impact of universal jurisdiction by @wansaiiii1, important right now that the US, EU & ASEAN grasp that the junta is disastrous if they want 2 combat scam centres, drugs/human trafficking, regional refugee crisis
Myanmar Junta bullying a fellow ASEAN member, interfering in its independent judicial processes will only backfire & strengthen resolve in Dili to let the rule of law run its course.
Breaking news: Myanmar Junta expels Timorese Charge d'Affaires over Timor-Leste appointing a prosecutor to examine a war crimes/crimes against humanity case brought by @ChinHumanRights against #MinAungHlaing & other war criminals. Clear interference in the judiciary of TL
