The New York Times

Sept. 1, 2020

(Reuters) - Facebook Inc said on Tuesday that it was preparing for Myanmar's general election in November by improving the detection and removal of hate speech and content that incites violence and preventing the spread of misinformation.

The company said in a blog that between now and Nov. 22, it would remove "verifiable misinformation and unverifiable rumours" that are assessed as having the potential to suppress the vote or damage the "integrity" of the electoral process.

2 September 2020

The US has imposed sanctions on senior officials in the International Criminal Court (ICC), including chief prosecutor Fatou Bensouda.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo accused the court of "illegitimate attempts to subject Americans to its jurisdiction".

The Hague-based ICC is currently investigating whether US forces committed war crimes in Afghanistan.

The US has criticised the court since its foundation and is one of a dozen states which have not signed up.

Three years on, Rohingya trapped in camps as they await justice

Aljazeera
25 Aug 2020

About a million refugees live in Bangladesh refugee camps since they fled Myanmar military operation on August 25, 2017.

Some one million Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh are marking three years since escaping from Myanmar with a day-long "silent protest" protest, which the coronavirus pandemic is forcing them to hold inside their flimsy bamboo shacks.

What would you have done if you had been a world leader witnessing mass killing in Rwanda in 1994? Or in Darfur in 2003? Or even in Germany during the Holocaust?

Imagine men raping women, burning villages and shooting people as they run away. Historic parallels are never perfect. There are always comparisons and differences. But think four years ahead as President Trump or President Biden leaves office in 2024. Wouldn’t it be better to know that in the case of Myanmar, America did what we should have done, when we should have done it?

How Facebook threatens vulnerable Muslim communities

MIDDLE EAST EYE

CJ Werleman

30 August 2020

The social media platform has been used to incite and condone violence against adherents of the Islamic faith, from Myanmar to Kashmir to Palestine 

The social media giant Facebook "has now turned into a beast" (AFP)

The social media giant Facebook poses an existential threat to vulnerable Muslim communities.

This assessment is based on how Facebook has failed to prevent its platform from being used to incite mob violence against adherents of the Islamic faith. Palestinian and Kashmiri human rights activists have long complained of having their accounts suspended or permanently deleted after posting videos of Indian and Israeli soldiers carrying out human rights violations.

"Facebook has now turned into a beast, and not what it originally intended," said Yanghee Lee, a UN investigator who in 2018 described the social media platform as a vehicle for inciting "acrimony, dissension and conflict" and driving the Rohingya Muslim genocide in Myanmar.

Three years after the violence that forced about 800,000 Rohingyas to flee from their homes in Rakhine, the situation has deteriorated and little has been done to create viable conditions for their safe return, a senior official of the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) has said.

DHAKA: Bangladesh will lift internet restrictions imposed on nearly a million Rohingya refugees, a senior official said on Monday, ahead of the third anniversary of their exodus from Myanmar.

The Bangladesh government has been under pressure from the United Nations and aid groups to end the restrictions over fears they are hampering efforts to curb the spread of the coronavirus and provide a basic education to thousands of children.

For Myanmar high school students, passing their matriculation exam with distinction is a near guarantee of getting into a university, even if not the school of their choice.

But that hasn’t been the case for Muhammad Ayaz, a Rohingya Muslim high school student from Buthidaung town in western Myanmar’s volatile Rakhine state, who passed his matriculation exam this year, earning distinctions in all six subject areas tested.

US concerned over situation in Rakhine

NEWAGE
United News of Bangladsh . Dhaka
Aug 27,2020

The United States said it remained concerned over the killing of members of local communities and displacement of thousands in Myanmar’s Rakhine state, which undermines prospects for the voluntary return of Rohingyas and internally displaced persons and erodes prospects for peace.

‘In the face of escalating fighting in Rakhine state, we urge a cessation of violence, dialogue, renewed efforts to protect local communities, and unhindered access for humanitarian assistance,’ said US department of state spokesperson Morgan Ortagus on Tuesday.
