IFJ 07 May 2021 Myanmar: If independent media dies, democracy dies As chaos flows in Burma, journalists are being forced to hide in plain site by the Burmese military writes senior journalist and Myanmar expert Phil Thornton. Molotov, one of the emerging new media outlets in Myanmar. Credit: Phil Thornton Journalists in Myanmar are being hunted and arrested by the country’s military for trying to do their job. Independent media outlets have been raided, licenses revoked and offices closed. To avoid arrest, independent journalists have gone into deep hiding, taken refuge in ethnic controlled regions or fled to neighboring countries. The military and its paid informers trawl through neighborhoods, coffee shops and scan social media for evidence to justify arresting journalists. The military appointed State Administration Council revised and inserted a clause in the penal code, specifically tailored to gag its critics, politicians, activists and journalists. ....
Refugees Protest Over ‘Unfair’ UNHCR Program Refugees on the Thai Burma border are furious over what they perceive as ‘bias’ in the United Nations High Commission for Refugees resettlement program.

Karen People Say – Give Peace a Chance Recent political changes in Burma by the government suggest it is slowly moving away from the military dictatorship that controlled the country for more than 60-years. However, while the Burma Army continues to forcibly displace and abuse villagers in ethnic areas, skepticism and concern about the government’s motives remain. Ethnic and political opposition groups have spoken out against the government’s ‘peace talks’ as a ploy to destroy ethnic unity and a tactic to convince the international community to lift sanctions and invest in Burma. In spite of the skepticism ‘peace talks’ with the ethnic armed groups have been timetabled. The Karen National Union – the government’s staunchest opponents – has been fighting against the military regime that dominated Burma for more than 60 years. Now the KNU will officially meet with the Burma government for ‘peace talks’ on 12th January, in the Pa-an Town, the capital ....
