In the Czech Republic... Film Screening & Discussion Thabyay: Creative Resistance in Myanmar Palacký University Olomouc 16 Feb 2026 - 18:30

“As to why did I hold it … that’s never going to happen again,” she said, telling staff she didn’t know the screening schedule for 60 Minutes segments because she is new to the company. Wait, so she didn’t know when she held it that it was to air in a day and a half!?

Excellent piece from Sahfiur Rahman on the politics of Rohingya repatriation. Camps are designed to remain “temporary.” Work is allowed only informally. Education is capped. Mobility is restricted. Waiting is not a failure of policy - it is the policy. @frontiermyanmar.bsky.social

Thabyay: Creative Resistance in Myanmar Film Screening & Panel Discussion Feb 6 - UC Berkeley Excellent panel (now confirmed) events.berkeley.edu/cseas/event/...

Excellent overview on TPS for Burmese nationals from James Shwe.

Fire Is Not an Accident or Why Rohingya Shelters Keep Burning

“A ruling could take months, or longer. In the meantime, Rohingya exile and dispossession will continue without sustained international support. We may be stateless and marginalized, but we know who we are. The world needs to see us, too.”

"By refusing to name the victims, Ko Ko Hlaing was confirming the very "hate campaign" that Philippe Sands and The Gambia argue was the foundation of the genocide." #Rohingya #Myanmar #ICJ www.rohingyarefugee.news/p/ko-ko-hlai...

#ICJ #Myanmar Day One. Amen, @judithbeyer.bsky.social

“International law doesn’t fail because it lacks a police force. It works because it changes what states can justify—and what the world will tolerate. If this trial were merely symbolic, the Myanmar military would ignore it...” --Matthew Smith, @fortifyrights.bsky.social #WhatsHappeninglnMyanmar

With public hearings in the Gambia v. Myanmar ICJ case beginning on Jan. 12, @adhaque.bsky.social argues that consideration of an inference of genocidal intent from a “pattern of conduct” is not exclusive of other sources of evidence to establish intent. #ICJ #Myanmar #Rohingya #Genocide

Well stated @judithbeyer.bsky.social . FYI: www.advancemyanmar.org

Excellent segment, not just on the 60 Minutes debacle but also on the broader importance of open source research, analysis and verification. Very well done, @alexakoenig.bsky.social!

“...disregarding the rule of law and trying to silence its critics by any means necessary.” Thierry Breton (European Union Digital Services Act), Imran Ahmed (Center for Countering Digital Hate), Clare Melford (Global Disinformation Index), and Anna-Lena von Hodenberg & Josephine Ballon (HateAid).

Class action filed by six Burmese TPS holders on behalf of a nationwide class of nearly 4,000 individuals—seeks to block the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) decision to end TPS for Burma.

Extraordinary. ‘60 Minutes’ Pulled a Segment. A Correspondent Calls It ‘Political.’ Pulled just three hours before broadcast.

World Court to hear Myanmar genocide case in January reut.rs/4aZMtUd

Six years after #TheGambia instituted #ICJ proceedings against #Myanmar under the #GenocideConvention, the Court will hold the oral hearing next month (www.icj-cij.org/sites/defaul...). Notably, it won't allow the 11 intervening states to participate, per recently-amended Art 86 of the Rules.

New from me: It's high time for T&S leaders at big tech platforms to speak up. We need to hear the US-based VPs of T&S at Apple, Google, Meta, TikTok and other platforms say in one voice that content moderation is not censorship.

Clearly no understanding of what is happening in Myanmar...

DHS Terminating Temporary Protected Status for Burma "The situation in Burma has improved enough that it is safe for Burmese citizens to return home..." They just make stuff up.

Thabyay offers a simpler story for the viewer, one of two sides: the military, and the people resisting it. This simplicity is not naïve. The film instead spends its energy on showcasing some of the breadth of resistance english.dvb.no/thabyay-crea... #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar #documentary #film

Great to see this @alexakoenig.bsky.social. Congratulations!

World leaders will discuss how to assist the Rohingya in the world’s largest refugee settlement. But no one living there is attending the conference at the United Nations.

New report from the IIMM, detailing the destruction and seizure of Rohingya homes, farms, mosques and other property in 2017 and the repurposing of the land to erase all traces of the Rohingya’s long presence. #IIMM #WhatsHappeninglnMyanmar

Microsoft blocks Israel’s use of its technology in mass surveillance of Palestinians Congrats @972mag.com, שיחה מיקומית (Local Call), and @theguardian.com whose work lead to this.

"As our country becomes more polarized, people are becoming increasingly apprehensive about venturing beyond their communities. I wanted to suggest travel as an antidote to these fears, many of which are being exaggerated by a leadership eager to divide us." -- Jeff Greenwald, EthicalTraveler.org

Thabyay: Creative Resistance in Myanmar tells the courageous stories of four democracy revolutionaries using creative means to resist the military junta. We’re excited to be on track for the film’s premiere in Bangkok at the end of this month. Please consider supporting our work!

Notable final question from @emmafarge.bsky.social. The IMM has a unit conducting open-source investigations, which has collected thousands of videos of suspected crimes. If additional grants are not secured, the IIMM will have to close this vital unit by end of year. #IIMM #OSINT

"The collective report had been expected months ago, but was delayed as State Department officials worked under the orders of political appointees in the agency to cut language in the report." Journalists need to stay focused on independent reports. Reports from the US Government are propaganda.

Important work indeed. And it's heartening that the IIMM shares their findings with international courts _proactively_. This, on the other hand, is a major bummer: "the Mechanism’s access to resources needed to investigate the crimes has significantly diminished..."

Great to hear this today on KQED in San Francisco.

Great to hear @jwassers.bsky.social on The World today - one of my favorite radio programs. Well done, Jeff! #MilkTeaAlliance #WhatsHappeninglnMyanmar
