Human Rights Magazine
Journalism in Myanmar despite the repression
In February 2021, Myanmar military leaders removed the democratically elected party from power and took control of the government.
In the year following, at least 1,700 civilians, including children, have been killed by the junta forces and some 10,000 arrested. Media outlets have been closed, and journalists arrested, beaten and tortured. Some have been killed. Yet some independent journalists continue their efforts despite the repression.
In this podcast, Ruloan Ma speaks with people directly engaged in journalism in Myanmar.
