Malaysia 🇲🇾
I have known Zafar Ahmad Abdul Ghani for years. He is a committed human rights defender who has consistently advocated for the rights of the Rohingya community.
The charges against him should be dropped. Malaysia should not be using the Societies Act against him for his human rights work.

Architects of Justice: The Mohib Ullah Legacy | 5 Years Since 29 September 2021
𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘵𝘦𝘳 2: 𝘎𝘳𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘳𝘰𝘰𝘵𝘴 𝘓𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱 & 𝘊𝘢𝘮𝘱 𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺
While camps were crowded with agencies collecting data for distant institutions, Mohib Ullah was sitting in his shelter doing something entirely different: listening.
Where external agencies saw victims to be interviewed for institutional reports, Mohib saw his own people. He understood that before the Rohingya could demand justice from a world that had repeatedly failed them, their pain had to be held with dignity by their own community.
As the architect of this grassroots mission, Mohib founded the Arakan Rohingya Society for Peace and Human Rights (ARSPHR) and organised fellow refugees to go door to door. Rejecting transactional extraction, they sat with families, held space for their grief, and handwrote line-by-line accounts of the atrocities they survived.
To ensure these precious testimonies could never be dismissed or erased, ARSPHR asked hūmānus to walk alongside them; helping digitise handwritten notes, address evidence gaps, and safeguard the data without ever taking the pen out of the community’s hands.
This was never just about gathering data. It was an act of profound courage and collective healing, proving that displaced communities are not passive subjects of international law, but the true authors of their own history.
Today, that living record continues to grow in the ARSPHR Rohingya Atrocities Archive; an active, community-led repository ensuring survivor voices remain protected, unbroken, and impossible to ignore: https://t.co/X8e36ia41c
In this month marking five years since Mohib Ullah’s loss, our Architects of Justice series honours the grassroots leadership that continues to challenge systemic impunity from the ground up.

📍Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh
More than one million Rohingya refugees live in Cox's Bazar after fleeing violence and persecution in Myanmar. Nearly 10 years ago hundreds of thousands were forced to flee all at once.
In times like these, we build on the promise of safety. #UNGA
Malaysia's PM Anwar Ibrahim is offering to invite Myanmar’s military-backed President Min Aung Hlaing for an official visit to the country in a bid to expedite the repatriation of Rohingya refugees ⤵️

#Malaysia has been a staunch supporter of #ASEAN’s 5-point consensus on #Myanmar. Inviting the Myanmar leader whose regime has not complied with that seems inconsistent with that strong stand. Forced repatriation of #Rohingya refugees would be illegal under international law
A memorable moment at Singapore Changi Airport during the Southeast Asia Young Leaders Summit in Singapore. Grateful for the opportunity to connect with inspiring young leaders, exchange ideas, and advocate for meaningful change.

The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”.
The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America.
We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms.
Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.
The #ArakanArmy is forcing #Rohingya from their homes, then profiting from their trafficking as they try to escape.
Rohingya in #Rakhine say the brutality they are facing from the AA is the same as the #BurmeseMilitary in 2017. They are trying to finish what the Burmese military started: erasing Rohingya from #Burma.
States must sanction AA leaders and put maximum pressure on them to end Rohingya persecution.
Rohingya refugees in Cox’s Bazar have demanded justice and the right to return to their homes, on the ninth anniversary of the genocide perpetrated against them in Myanmar.
So what action has the world taken, and is there any resolution in sight? https://t.co/wdWgtXZ1o2

Nine years after Myanmar's military launched a brutal crackdown that displaced hundreds of thousands of Rohingya from Rakhine State, we revisit Al Jazeera photojournalist @ShowkatShafi's 2017 reporting from Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh.

Nearly a decade since the horrific events of 2017, I call for renewed global attention & action to the plight of the Rohingya.
Rohingya people in Myanmar, Bangladesh & across the region face deepening insecurity, shrinking protection space and diminishing prospects for durable solutions, exacerbated by funding cuts impacting life-saving assistance.
I urge the international community to strengthen collective action to support an inclusive & comprehensive political solution that addresses the root causes of the protracted crisis in Myanmar.
Until conditions allow for voluntary, safe, dignified & sustainable returns of the Rohingya, I call for the international community to continue to provide humanitarian assistance, alongside livelihood opportunities & self-reliance support.
Team Canada needs to stand together more united than ever before.
The prime minister has my full support for a strong response—tariff for tariff, dollar for dollar. As we fight to protect Canadian sovereignty and economic security, everything needs to be on the table. Ontario is ready to do its part.
The Malaysian government should reverse plans that would permit the forced return of refugees to Myanmar, where they face persecution and other rights abuses. https://t.co/BaeYVamI2q
Canada condemns the ongoing violence in the West Bank. The expansion of Israeli settlements in the West Bank must stop. These settlements are illegal under international law & undermine prospects for peace, security and stability.
The land that gave me my first breath will always live in my heart, even when distance and hardship keep me from returning. Home is more than a place on a map; it is the memories, language, and love that shape who we are. Though conflict may separate us from our homeland, hope...
The Rohingya crisis remains far from resolved. People are still dying during dangerous sea crossings, in climate‑driven landslides, and in attacks by armed groups. Even beyond Myanmar’s borders, Rohingya communities face insecurity and statelessness…
