Several of these signs were used during public Liberal campaign events, photo ops, and “Burma shaving” to demonstrate some kind of official support by the Green Party for the Liberal Party candidate. Several public statements were also made suggesting

We have the application of similar techniques in the abuse of other minorities in Burma—the Chin, the Kachin, and others—and the Burmese

Just as an observation, I've only been a member of Parliament for two and half years, and we've dealt with two major instances of genocide, one in Burma and one in Daesh-controlled areas of Syria

Information & Ethics committee  That's my next question. When people are engaging SCL, Cambridge Analytica, or AggregateIQ, particularly for elections, what are they buying? What we were led to believe through AggregateIQ is that it's like Burma-Shave: you just put a little thing on Facebook, and they were

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Honourable Chair, honourable special envoy, and all members of Parliament, thank you for giving me an opportunity to speak today. I'm Rohingya. I was born and brought up in Arakan state in the western part of Burma. I left when I was about 17. Actually, my grandfather

Like me, more than one million Rohingya students cannot study, and their lives are being destroyed. That is what happened from 1962 to 2010. After 2010, when so-called democracy came to Burma, hate speech spread

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Mr. Rae, how much do you think the foreign investment that is presently in Burma is impeding the capability to develop this coalition to put pressure on the Myanmar government?

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Thank you, Chair, and thank you, Mr. Rae, for the great work you've done with respect to this very dire situation. To begin, I want to seek some clarity. I know you've expressed an opinion that there are two governments in Burma or Myanmar, one being the civilian and one being

We also have a history of bringing international pressure against the South African government and making sure that the collapse of apartheid happened

In building that coalition, that group of like-minded countries, we have to recognize that while you say we've invested millions in Burma, we have historically done very little in Burma.

For example, an 87-year-old woman whom I met—she was there in 1978—had gone back and come back twice.
