1Introduction

The proliferation of hate speech, disinformation, and misinformation across social media and other communication channels within Myanmar exacerbates racial, religious, and political tensions, thereby intensifying conflicts within society

This report systematically monitors hate speech in Myanmar during May 2026. The aims of monitoring hate speech and misinformation are to document patterns of dissemination, identify vulnerable social groups, and assess potential impacts on specific groups.

This study examines the prevalence of incitement to violence and hate speech across major digital and social media platforms, including Facebook, TikTok, and Telegram. The spread of hate speech, misinformation and disinformation on social media and other various communication channels in Myanmar exacerbates ethnic, religious, and political tensions, fueling communal conflict.

By outlining the evolving trends of hate speech throughout May, in the current political, economic, and social landscape of Myanmar, this study aims to serve as a reference and technical and actionable resource to prevent hate speech, intended for use by peacebuilders, conflict resolution practitioners, media professionals, policymakers, and Civil Society Organisations (CSOs).

2Research Methodology

Hate speech is inherently rooted in emotional expression and subjective sentiment; it lacks a universally accepted definition. However, for this particular report, the Burma Human Rights Network (BHRN) defines hate speech as follows:

"Hate speech refers to any form of expression, verbal, written, behavioural, or artistic, that targets a specific individual or group to express severe criticism, condemnation, or to incite hostility and hatred based on protected characteristics. This includes attacks on fundamental rights and identity, such as religion, language, gender, sexual orientation, citizenship, ethnicity, skin colour, beliefs, or physical appearance."

Based on the findings of this study, hate speech is further categorised into the following types:

  • Criminalisation: Portraying specific groups as inherent criminals or "sinners."
  • Dehumanisation: Stripping individuals of their human qualities or dignity.
  • Oppressive Speech: Language used to exert dominance over or bully marginalised groups.
  • Incitement: Direct calls for violence, riots, or civil unrest.
  • Existential Threat: Characterising specific groups as a fundamental threat to the existence of others.
  • Glorification: The celebration or promotion of acts of violence and hatred.

Recorded data includes several key metrics, such as the date of publication, the author’s name, the social media platform used, the content's reach, the target groups, the category of hate speech, and the primary terminology used.

In our documentation process, "hate speech" is strictly defined as content targeting groups with protected characteristics. This includes speech intentionally designed to incite hatred or hostility based on Religion, Race, Ethnicity, or Tribal affiliation, Gender Identity and sexual orientation, skin colour, and Nationality.

Conversely, derogatory language directed at groups that do not fall under protected status is not classified as hate speech within this framework. This includes criticisms directed at Armed organisations and insurgent groups, Political leadership and governing bodies (e.g., NUG, KNU, KIO), and Military officials and personnel.

In the context of Myanmar’s ongoing political and military tensions, BHRN continuously monitors and documents hate speech disseminated by the military and its associated propaganda channels.

1Data Collection

Monitored Platforms: Data is gathered from Facebook, TikTok, and Telegram channels.

Content Categories:

  • Hate speech related to ethnicity, religion, politics, and gender.
  • Content inciting violence and discrimination.
  • Harmful misinformation and inciting posts

2Data Approach

  • Manual Monitoring: Members of the Hate Speech Monitoring Team of the organization systematically review and verify specific keywords, phrases, images, and videos to ensure a high level of accuracy in documentation.

3Data Analysis

  • Thematic Classification: Content is grouped into specific themes—such as ethnicity, religion, and politics to identify recurring patterns of targeting.
  • Spread Measurement: Engagement (likes, shares, comments) and reach on social media platforms are measured.
  • Identification of Key Perpetrators: The study identifies specific groups and individuals responsible for disseminating hate speech, while assessing their level of influence and broader social impact.

4Ethical Considerations

  • Data Confidentiality: All monitored and documented information is stored securely. BHRN adheres to a strict policy that prohibits the disclosure of data to the public or unauthorised individuals.

5Limitations

  • Platform Coverage: It is not possible to comprehensively monitor all social media platforms
  • Encryption Challenges: Some online activities occur on encrypted communication platforms, which pose significant challenges for effective tracking and monitoring.
  • Authenticity and Impact: The prevalence of fake accounts and bots complicates assessing the genuine social impact accurately
  • Internet Restriction: The research team faces challenges in monitoring the hate speech dissemination regularly due to restrictions on internet access, and some posts disappear after being posted.

3Monitoring Activities

This report was compiled by monitoring online and print media used by the military junta and its supporters to disseminate hate speech. During May 2026, BHRN conducted a monitoring exercise with the following results:

  • Facebook: monitored 3 groups, one page, and 13 accounts; identified 43 incidents of hate speech.
  • Telegram: Monitored 24 Channels; identified 31 incidents of hate speech.
  • TikTok: Monitored 24 Accounts; identified 26 incidents of hate speech.
  • Print Media: Monitored 2 newspapers and 1 journal.

In total, 100 instances of misinformation/disinformation and hate speech were documented during May. The findings are presented using tables, graphs, and clear descriptive text. This report further analyses the root causes and impacts of hate speech and offers recommendations for prevention and mitigation. Due to significant limitations in achieving comprehensive coverage of the entire social media landscape, there may be undocumented incidents of hate speech that fall outside the scope of this report.

Key Findings

1Targeted Groups

  • Religious and Ethnic Minorities: Racial persecution of the Rohingya persists through false allegations labelling them as "illegal immigrants from Bangladesh."
  • Similarly, the broader Muslim community is targeted with religious insults and derogatory slurs, such as "Kalar" and "Pork-abstainers" (Whet-ma-sar), intended to dehumanise and demean.
  • Women: Hate speech targeting women frequently employs dehumanising language, sexual harassment, and the exposure of personal information to damage their reputations and social standing.
  • Disinformation and Misinformation: Fabricated narratives and false reporting are utilised to portray crimes committed by the military junta as having been perpetrated by Ethnic Armed Organisations (EAOs) and People's Defence Forces (PDFs), thereby falsely deflecting blame onto resistance groups.

2Methods of Disseminating Hate Speech and Disinformation

  • Hate speech targeting Muslims and Rohingya people is disseminated across social media platforms such as Facebook, TikTok, and Telegram in various formats, including posts, videos, and cartoons, promoting ethnic, religious, and political hatred.
  • The deliberate spread of fabricated news to create suspicion among the general public.

3Impacts

The prevalence of these campaigns has led to significant societal consequences:

  • Threats to Safety and Dignity: Beyond the psychological impact of online harassment, women and activists face severe threats to their physical safety and personal dignity.
  • Obstruction of Peacebuilding: The persistent fueling of racial and religious hatred serves as a major barrier to peacebuilding efforts and a stable democratic transition in Myanmar.
  • Erosion of Public Trust in Resistance Forces: The dissemination of such narratives fosters public suspicion and fuels growing animosity toward Ethnic Armed Organizations (EAOs) and members of the People's Defense Forces (PDFs).

4Findings

Hate Speech Against Muslims

A Facebook account named Aung Kyaw San disseminated hate speech via Facebook, asserting that while Buddhist and Christian countries accommodate Islamic structures, Islamic nations prohibit the establishment of places of worship for other faiths. The post further stated that the Myanmar government must not adopt a lenient stance regarding Muslim affairs, while simultaneously projecting Muslims as extremists to incite religious animosity.

Findings

Against the backdrop of Myanmar's nearly eight-decade-long civil war, a Facebook account named Ye Khaung disseminated hate speech by weaponizing the context of the reactivated Overnight Guest Registration Law, a measure officially reinstated under the pretext of community peace and security. While highlighting the extortionate fees levied by village administration members during the guest registration process, the user employed derogatory and mocking language targeting the Muslim community, falsely characterising them as violent threats to incite hatred.

Findings

A Facebook account named Momiji Momiji disseminated hate speech targeting the Muslim community, weaponising an incident where Rohingya volunteer teachers were providing tuition to Rohingya children in Nwe Aye Ward, Dawbon Township, Yangon Region. The account falsely accused Muslims of being undocumented individuals and issued threatening remarks calling for the arrest and prosecution of local Islamic religious teachers.

A TikTok account named Dr Mhaing, which consistently disseminates hate speech, published a post featuring a photograph welcoming a youth returning home after completing a mandatory two-year term under the military council's forced conscription law. The account weaponised this image to spread anti-Muslim rhetoric by drawing a parallel to the traditional Myanmar folktale Kyay Nyi Naung (The Two Brother Parrots). The account characterized conscripted youths as disciplined individuals while accusing People's Defence Force (PDF) members of committing acts of terrorism at the order of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), thereby falsely stereotyping Islam as an inherently violent faith.

Findings

A TikTok account belonging to nationalist monk Pauk Ko Taw disseminated hate speech targeting the Muslim community, weaponizing a formal complaint regarding ongoing renovations at the Zay Mosque in Obo Ward, Aungmyethazan Township, Mandalay Region. By explicitly characterizing the mosque as an illegal structure, the monk’s rhetoric serves to incite potential violence and hostility.

Hate Speech targeting the Rohingya Community

A Singapore-based Facebook user, under the account name Melvin Moe, disseminated hate speech targeting the Rohingya community in response to a question regarding the physical appearance of Myanmar women. In his response, the person employed derogatory and mocking rhetoric directed at the Rohingya. He attempted to highlight the aesthetic qualities of Myanmar women by drawing a disparaging comparison to Rohingya individuals, framing them as stateless refugees whose physical appearance has been worn down by severe hardships, thereby weaponising their suffering to incite hatred.

(See the translation of the attached link below the conclusion (9))

Findings

A Facebook account named U Zaw Zaw disseminated hate speech targeting the Rohingya community by weaponising the aforementioned incident involving community education in Nwe Aye Ward, Dawbon Township. The person asserted that the citizenship documentation issued to local Rohingya residents should be revoked and re-examined, alongside an investigation into their entry into the country. This narrative casts suspicion on the legitimacy of Rohingya residents, serving to amplify prejudice and fuel systemic hatred against them.

Hate Speech targeting the Christian Community

A TikTok account under the name Ko Ta Mar disseminated hate speech targeting the Christian community by sharing a video of a Christian minister preaching. In his re-shared post, the account employed highly derogatory and mocking language to mischaracterise Christianity as a faith built entirely on deception, while simultaneously framing Christians as violent actors to incite religious animosity.

Findings

Within the context of Myanmar's education system, the majority of students rely heavily on private supplementary tutoring (commonly known as kyu-shin), a Facebook page named Ko Ye Entertainment disseminated hate speech targeting Christian educators. The page urged parents and students to vet private tutors beforehand to ensure they are not of a different faith. It explicitly warned against hiring Christian teachers, claiming that they introduce religious hymns into tuition classes and compel students to sing them, thereby falsely stereotyping Christians as predatory religious proselytisers.

Findings

Hate Speech Against Women

A Telegram channel named Naing Soe and Relatives (နိုင်စိုးနှင့်အမျိုးများ) disseminated misogynistic hate speech and sexually abusive rhetoric targeting women participating in the anti-dictatorship resistance movement.

A Telegram channel named Cartoon Magha disseminated hate speech targeting female members of the People's Defence Force (PDF) who are undergoing training with the Kachin Independence Army (KIA). The channel published illustrative cartoons alleging that these women are being subjected to sexual assault and torture by KIA leadership, thereby severely assaulting the dignity of the female personnel. This visual rhetoric not only falsely portrays female resistance fighters as violent actors but also acts as a catalyst to incite ethnic conflict between the Bamar and Kachin communities.

10Conclusion

During May, the dissemination of hate speech in Myanmar intensified alongside escalating armed conflicts. Social media platforms, particularly Telegram and Facebook, saw a sharp rise in religious, ethnic, and political instigations.

Exploiting the ongoing clashes in Rakhine State, disinformation and hateful rhetoric rapidly spread, designed to deepen anxieties and historical animosities between the Rakhine and Rohingya/Muslim communities. Concurrently, there was a heavy concentration of targeted verbal attacks and malicious rumours engineered to foster mutual suspicion among civilian populations.

Furthermore, the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) and the Chinland Defense Force (CDF) were used as focal points; there was a consistent pattern of targeting predominantly Christian regions. This involved launching nationalist, extremist attacks and weaponizing religious-based instigations to create divisions. Armed actors and internet users continuously defamed and made direct accusations linking church buildings, religious structures, and religious leaders to the ongoing armed conflicts.

The posts below are hate speech documented by BHRN. They are translated here only as evidence for this report.

Christian countries have numerous Muslim mosques. Similarly, in Buddhist countries, mosques can be found everywhere. Even in Israel, which is in perpetual conflict with Islamic nations, Muslim mosques exist. But in Muslim-majority countries, Buddhist statues are destroyed, and Buddhist monasteries are nonexistent. They do not tolerate even a small meditation centre. Have you ever heard those claiming to be 'Myanmar Muslims' voice any objection to this? They are all of one mind. Christian churches are not permitted either. Therefore, the Muslim issue is not minor. Myanmar cannot afford to soften its stance regarding Muslims. Regardless of which international community lectures us under the banner of 'human rights,' we must handle this strictly to ensure that our nation's original identity is preserved.

Due to short-sighted leadership, the Muslim population in Myanmar has steadily increased, and mosques are multiplying. This is a direct threat to our national identity and security.

In local communities, when a Muslim marries an individual of a different faith, the non-Muslim partner is pressured into converting to Islam; this practice should be legally prohibited. If an interfaith marriage occurs, the children should either grow up as atheists or be required to adopt Buddhism under law.

While this may appear one-sided, this is Myanmar, and we must implement measures tailored to Myanmar's interests. Prioritising our own country over European or international standards may seem narrow-minded, but it is ultimately beneficial. Therefore, state leaders must not underestimate the Muslim issue. The world is well aware that they are a people who attempt to establish religious dominance wherever they settle.

While an old man said, The women from your country are quite ugly,' I instantly got angry.

I said, 'The girls in our country possess natural beauty... it is not beauty achieved through plastic surgery. Do you even understand the concept of natural beauty?'

He responded, 'That's not what I meant; let me show you,' and began intensely scrolling through his phone.

He thrust his screen forward, saying, 'Look at this!' It turned out to be photos of a group of dishevelled people staring open-mouthed at a traditional male lead actor.

I calmed down a bit and asked, 'Do you know who the Rohingya are?'

He replied, 'Aren't they the boat refugees? Yes, I know them.'

I told him, 'Exactly. They are of a far lower standard than that, much more ragged and impoverished. We do not have women who look like that in our country; Myanmar women are all naturally beautiful.'

I couldn't help it; I simply cannot tolerate anyone claiming that Myanmar women are ugly."

Daw Aung San Suu Kyi created the Advisory Commission on Rakhine State to facilitate citizenship for illegal Bengalis. This group even went so far as to advocate for the amendment of the 1982 Citizenship Law to ensure these illegal immigrants could attain citizenship status.

A citizenship law is designed to safeguard national sovereignty and prevent foreigners from easily acquiring rights and ownership over Myanmar's land, waters, and airspace.

Following independence in 1948, the government enacted the 1948 Union of Burma Citizenship (Election) Act and the 1948 Union of Burma Citizenship Act. Both pieces of legislation were drafted based on the foundations of the 1947 Constitution.

In 1949, the Registration of National Residents Act was introduced, with its corresponding rules and regulations enacted in 1951. Following that, the issuance of National Registration Cards (NRCs) and temporary IDs, and religious IDs commenced around 1955–1956.

Beginning in 1949, Myanmar faced an invasion by Chinese Nationalist (KMT/White Chinese) forces, who were expelled in 1961 through the BaBa military operation. Concurrently, in 1949, Mujahideen insurgents launched a rebellion and surrendered in 1961. During this volatile period, foreigners increasingly occupied territories within Myanmar.

Furthermore, during the election campaigns of 1956 and 1960, Prime Minister U Nu himself stated at Phar Wat village that if Muslims voted for his party, they would be granted registration cards. Shortly thereafter, with the endorsement of Minister of Home Affairs U Aye Maung (a.k.a. Abdu Lazid), Bengalis from East Pakistan were brought into Myanmar, eventually establishing up to 50 villages.

Once U Nu assumed office, Muslims secured parliamentary seats and even ministerial positions. This was because they had been granted citizenship. By 1960, these Bengalis published literature under the name 'Rohingya' and began actively mobilising to demand full citizenship rights and even the right to secede.

It is time to re-examine whether the identity cards held by these illegal Bengalis are actually legitimate or not.

When we, the genuine, indigenous citizens of this country, apply for a national identity card, we are required to fully document our complete parental lineage on a massive application form. Even then, our parents' citizenship status must undergo rigorous verification. If one's parents happen to be from different townships, the administrative correspondence mailing back and forth between those districts alone takes nearly a month.

Even if you go on the appointment date, you frequently find that the officer-in-charge is absent or away at a meeting. Regarding the recent Nwe Aye incident, how exactly are the authorities verifying that the cards held by these Bengalis are authentic? Are they actually double-checking the validity of their household registries, supporting documents, and applications? They are being labelled as internally displaced persons (IDPs), but exactly what date and time did they arrive in Yangon?

Is there any concrete evidence that the relevant authorities were notified of their arrival? Who took accountability and facilitated their transport into Yangon? They clearly arrived gathered together in a large, concentrated group because an organiser assumed responsibility for bringing them.

Because this impacts national security and state affairs, all departmental and administrative officials must be vigilant and execute their duties with absolute honesty.
