Myanmar junta envoy Tin Aung San attended Ayatollah Khamenei’s funeral in Tehran this week.

Recall that Reuters reported that Iran has become the junta’s principal supplier of aviation fuel. Amnesty also traced “ghost ship” jet-fuel deliveries to Myanmar with suspected links to Iran. The relationship is visible in Tehran and in the skies over Myanmar...

@shafiur “Dehumanization is the first step toward atrocity.”
A petition calling for the forced sterilization of Rohingya women was not free speech ! it was hate. Removing it isn’t enough. Platforms must stop amplifying organized bigotry. #Rohingya #HumanRights

[RS @rsmimi15]

@shafiur @Change A petition calling for the forced sterilization of Rohingya women was not “free speech” it promoted hatred and a grave human rights abuse. Removing it was necessary, but platforms must stop giving organized bigotry a megaphone. Accountability cannot be optional. #Rohingya

[Shafiur Rahman @shafiur]

So @Change seems to have become a meet-up hub for Malaysian racists.

First a petition demanding the “removal” of Rohingya refugees. Then another vile petition calling for Rohingya women with UNHCR cards to be sterilised so they do not “breed like rats.”

Thankfully, this one has also been removed. Platforms cannot keep treating organised hate as “public opinion.”

[Shafiur Rahman @shafiur]

A Malaysian refugee-law academic went on camera and treated the shooting, pushing back, or bombing of desperate Rohingya boats as a legitimate border-control option.

Read what Prof. Dr. Salawati Mat Basir said in the podcast:

“Stateless” ! describes a crime against the Rohingya not their identity. Their history is real. Hold the perpetrators accountable, not the victims.stop using this word mentioning.

[Progressive Voice @PVamplify]

#Myanmar junta remains the root cause of mass displacement.

As long as junta continues its campaign of terror, millions will remain at risk.

@ASEAN & intl community must:
🚨Reject the junta
🚨Support border-based aid delivery
🚨Uphold refugee protections

@shafiur @UNHCR_BGD It's not an act of charity, it's a failure of accountability.

🚨 $60M+ WASTED IN COX'S BAZAR 🚨
An internal UN OIOS audit exposes rampant mismanagement in the Rohingya response (2023-2024):
• Preferred contractor syndicates
• Empty "ghost" hospitals
• Millions spent on duplicate camp infrastructure. #AidTransparency

A UN audit has exposed @UNHCR_BGD wastelfulness in Bangladesh.

Unused hospitals. Inflated contracts. Idle vehicles. Duplicated projects. Weak health planning. Millions wasted. Rohingya refugees are told to survive on “hope” while the aid economy around them is given millions in contracts.

[RS @rsmimi15]

@shafiur @JFCrisp @UNHCR_BGD NO LONG-TERM PLAN
8 years into the crisis, UNHCR allocated just 17% of funds toward sustainable, long-term solutions. 67% went to short-term relief.
As global funding for refugees plummets, millions in donor money are being drained by poor oversight and bad partnerships.

@shafiur 🙄 No direct platform for Rohingya to speak for ourselves. Only crisis management, not resolution. And it leaves us more divided😡

[RS @rsmimi15]

$2bn in UN pooled funds. Bangladesh local NGOs got $0.
In Cox's Bazar, Rohingya-led groups can't pass a 39-item English checklist. This isn't risk management, it's exclusion. Fund locals. Trust locals. https://t.co/kdTnHDC4oI

On World Refugee Day, we remind the world that Rohingya women are not passive survivors waiting for a future; we are the architects building it. Recognize us not merely by our displacement, but by our leadership, our resilience, and our absolute right to guide our own destiny.

[Women's Peace Network @WomensPeaceNW]

Over 1.6 million refugees and asylum seekers, including women and children, are from #Myanmar #Burma.

2025 was the deadliest year for #Rohingya at sea.

We urge the international community to listen to the voices of refugees, and take immediate action for their lives and future.

[RS @rsmimi15]

@shafiur Calling for acid attacks isn’t “defending the country.” It’s racialized hate. Noor Azizah is being hunted for speaking. If this is what “national pride” looks like, we’ve failed. Platforms and authorities need to act before online threats become real-world violence.#Rohingya
