1Introduction

The spread of hate speech and disinformation on social media and other communication platforms within Myanmar has intensified ethnic, religious, and political tensions, potentially escalating conflicts within communities. This report systematically monitors and analyzes hate speech incidents that occurred across Myanmar during April 2025, examining their primary sources, patterns of dissemination, vulnerable social groups, and the possible impacts arising from such content.

This study focuses on violent and inciting content found on popular social media platforms in Myanmar - such as Facebook, TikTok, and Telegram - including ethnic and religious-based hate speech as well as politically charged attacks. Additionally, the report offers recommendations for legal, technological, and community-based solutions to prevent and counter such hate speech ecosystems.

It highlights how hate speech evolved throughout April in relation to Myanmar’s current political, economic, and social conditions. The insights presented aim to serve as a valuable reference for peacebuilders, media professionals, policymakers, and civil society organizations working to address and mitigate the impact of hate speech.

2Research Methodology

As hate speech is a term that comes from emotion, there is a wide spectrum in defining it, not a specific one. BHRN, therefore, standardized the definition of hate speech for this report as follows. Hate speech in this report means aggressiveness and hatred against protected characteristics of a person or a group, including blaming, discriminatory expression, writing, gesture, or artistic expression of excoriation or dehumanization.

It means attacking, blaming, or discriminating against someone's or a particular group’s protected identity, someone’s faith, language, gender, sexual orientation, origin, ethnicity, skin color, race, belief, citizenship and physical appearance. The monitored hate speeches were categorized as (1) Criminalizing Hate Speech, (2) Abusive Hate Speech, (3) Dehumanizing Hate Speech, (4) Violence Inciting Hate Speech, (5) Threatening Hate Speech, and (6) Hate Speech that supports prejudicial actions inspired by hate speech.

BHRN has daily documented hate speech terms and usages found in the contents, based on the current political crisis, disseminated by the military’s propagating channels during the political and war tensions.

(a) Data Collection

Research Limitations

  • Social Media Limitations: Inability to access private groups.
  • Inability to comprehensively study all social media users. Observations

This report has been compiled through monitoring online and print media used by the junta and its supporters to spread hate speech. Specifically, in April 2025, BHRN monitored 3 Facebook groups and 13 Facebook accounts and found 29 instances of hate speech; 24 Telegram channels with 32 instances; and 24 TikTok accounts with 19 instances. For print media monitoring, two newspapers and one journal were observed. During the monitoring of hate speech in April, a total of 80 cases of misinformation, disinformation, and hate speech dissemination were recorded.

The findings will be presented through charts, graphs, and clear textual explanations. The report will also include recommendations on the root causes of hate speech, its impacts, and methods of prevention. Due to the many limitations in conducting comprehensive monitoring of all social media, there may be instances of hate speech that could not be recorded.

Context of misinformation as hate speech

In this report, BHRN has analysed hate speech in the context of the ongoing political tensions in Myanmar. Sometimes, when measured by international standards, what might look like misinformation takes on a different significance in the aftermath of the 2021 coup. This is because misinformation, particularly when aimed at individuals, groups with opposing political beliefs, or minority religious communities, can have severe consequences, even leading to loss of life and the intensification of religious and community conflicts.

Hate speech in Myanmar's current political climate is more than just false information; it can be a catalyst for very real and harmful outcomes, especially in the post-coup environment. Understanding this complex relationship between hate speech, misinformation, and their tangible impacts is crucial for grasping the region's broader social, political, and intergroup dynamics.

3Findings of hate speech in Social Networks

Key Findings

Targeted Groups

  • Rohingya are subjected to racial oppression through false accusations such as being “illegal Bengali immigrants” and “ethnic imposters.”
  • Muslims are subjected to religious insults during emergency situations such as natural disasters (earthquakes).
  • Female activists are targeted through gender-based oppression, exposure of personal information, and defamatory accusations that damage their dignity.
  • PDF (People’s Defense Forces) and ethnic armed groups are labeled with accusations such as “terrorists” and “drug users” in content intended to incite hatred within society.

2Means of Disseminating Hate Speech and Disinformation

  • Posts, videos, and cartoons spreading racial, religious, and political hate speech are being circulated on social media platforms such as Facebook, TikTok, and Telegram.
  • Emergencies like natural disasters (e.g., earthquakes) are exploited as opportunities to spread racial and religious hate speech.
  • Disinformation is being spread to inflame and escalate conflicts.

3Impacts

  • Increased intensity of conflicts within communities, especially instability among ethnic groups in Rakhine State, Kachin State, and other conflict-affected areas.
  • Harm to the safety and dignity of women; online and offline threats and harassment against activists.
  • Barrier to peacebuilding efforts and obstruction of democratic transition.

Hate Speeches targeting to Rohingya Community

According to Human Rights Watch’s 2025 World Report, Myanmar’s military junta is carrying out violent acts against the public, including the Rohingya, under a “scorched earth” strategy. These acts of violence include aerial attacks, unlawful killings of civilians, and the burning of homes and property. HRW has warned that the Rohingya are now facing renewed threats that are similar to, but more severe than, the dangers they experienced in 2017.

On April 4, following the United Nations’ call to establish an autonomous region in Rakhine State for the Rohingya, there was an increase on social media of blaming the Rohingya, encouraging violence against them, and making untruthful accusations. Due to the political situation and regional violence, hate speech based on ethnicity has been continuously rising compared to previous years.

Using the news of the killing of four ethnic Khami individuals in northern Maungdaw, Rakhine State as a pretext, the Facebook account "Lu Thar" spread hate speech against the Rohingya. The account claimed that due to Islamic jihadist ideology, non-Muslims are suffering in various ways. It also stated that the Arakan Army (AA) must deal with the incident in the strongest possible manner. These statements are seen as writings that could endanger the survival of the Rohingya.

Findings of hate speech in Social Networks

On the Maung Mone Facebook account, hate speech was spread claiming that in the northern border areas of Rakhine State, the Rohingya are gaining demographic advantage and killing local residents, and that the presence of Rohingya villages near the border only contributes to the rise of violence. In the post, derogatory terms were used to refer to Rohingya, and it was stated that, under security measures, Rohingya villages should be wiped out—statements that incite violence were clearly observed.

Original Post (See the translation of the attached link below conclusion – 2)

The Lu Thar Facebook account spread hate speech stating that the Rakhine people need to eradicate the Rohingya on the ground rather than merely shouting slogans online. It emphasized that Rakhine people must reclaim their towns and villages by force and encouraged them to join the AA (Arakan Army) to defend the land. The post contains language that incites violence against the Rohingya and includes derogatory and demeaning statements targeting them.

Original Post (See the translation of the attached link below conclusion – 3)

Findings of hate speech in Social Networks

Referring to the United Nations' call to grant the Rohingya a separate autonomous region in Rakhine State, the Telegram channel "Mahura Mywe Hout" spread hate speech against the Rohingya using demeaning terms, claiming that Myanmar is not the ancestral land of the Rohingya. In the post, the Rohingya were portrayed as illegal immigrants, and it was written that security in Rakhine State should be strictly enforced.

Original Post (See the translation of the attached link below conclusion – 4)

Hate Speech Comments on the News About the Bangladeshi Islamic Party’s Proposal to China for Establishing an Autonomous Area for Rohingya in Rakhine

It is written that the Rohingya people are not applying for asylum in another country but rather demanding a state, which is a cause for concern, and that they should not be granted more human rights than necessary. Furthermore, it is remarked that Rohingya and people of Indian descent have an unrestricted birth rate, which poses a racial and national threat in the long term. Therefore, the Rohingya are portrayed as culprits in this hate speech comment posted by the account Ba Chit acc.

Original Post (See the translation of the attached link below conclusion – 5)

Naw Aung Lattaw Facebook account wrote a comment from his account stating that the Rohingya have not only just started attempting to seize Myanmar’s territory, but have long been conspiring to do so in collaboration with the ICC.

Original Post (See the translation of the attached link below conclusion – 6)

Hate Speeches targeting Muslim community

In April 2025, hate speech and threats against Muslims continued to be widespread across the world. In Myanmar as well, due to reasons such as natural disaster-related destruction and the Rohingya issue, there has been an observable increase in the spread of hate speech against Muslims.

Although there were many building collapses due to ongoing earthquakes in Mandalay, the Telegram channel “Views of Sue” selectively highlighted collapses involving certain Muslim-owned construction companies, intentionally directing attacks against Muslims. In this post, it featured the collapse of the Ingyin Condo in Mandalay and posed the question of whether it was an intentional attempt to eradicate the Burmese ethnic people, thereby spreading hate speech. The post exploited the emotional state of those affected by natural disasters and incited hatred toward a particular religion.

Original Post (See the translation of the attached link below conclusion – 7)

Findings of hate speech in Social Networks

A photo of a Muslim funeral prayer in Mandalay for those who died in the earthquake was shared through the Ko Mg Zaw Facebook account, accompanied by hate speech targeting Muslims. The post mocked Muslims using fabricated words and expressions commonly created by those who harbor hatred toward Muslims, and used demeaning and derogatory language to spread hate speech.

Original Post (See the translation of the attached link below conclusion – 8)

A Facebook account under the name "Dai Net Ethnic" spread hate speech by claiming that the demand for an autonomous region for the Rohingya in Rakhine State amounts to Islamization. The post stated that expanding into areas not owned by Muslims is one of the three methods used for Islamization. These false claims have been observed to fuel and escalate hatred among Myanmar's general public toward Muslims.

Original Post (See the translation of the attached link below conclusion – 9)

Due to the earthquake that struck Upper Myanmar, many Muslim religious schools and mosques were damaged. Even under Facebook posts calling for donations to repair these mosques, hate speech could be observed. A Facebook account named Pin Myint San posted hate speech stating that people should not donate to mosques, claiming that Muslims practice a false and heretical ideology, and that mosques are places where this ideology is taught and propagated. Therefore, the post argued, donations should not be made for the repair of mosques.

Original Post (See the translation of the attached link below conclusion – 10)

Hate Speeches targeting Women

Supporters of the junta are systematically launching online hate speech attacks against female revolutionaries. These attacks include gender-based violence and the exposure of personal information (doxxing). For example, on the Telegram platform, military supporters are disclosing the personal details and photos of female revolutionaries and issuing threats against them.

On the “Sit Thway” Telegram channel, women were targeted with hate speech, falsely claiming that those who joined the People’s Defense Forces to resist the military dictatorship are engaging in sexual activities in the jungle and that many female revolutionaries are undergoing abortions. The post distorted the image of the anti-dictatorship movement by suggesting that the resistance in the jungle is just a form of indulgence, aiming to degrade and dishonor female revolutionaries.

Original Post (See the translation of the attached link below conclusion – 11)

Findings of hate speech in Social Networks

The TikTok account "General Min Aung Hlaing" spread hate speech by falsely claiming that female CDM (Civil Disobedience Movement) staff in Lashio, Northern Shan State, are working as prostitutes and that they are HIV positive. The account also mocked and ridiculed these CDM staff members by stating that they fled after the military council regained control of Lashio, using language intended to insult and demean them.

Original Post (See the translation of the attached link below conclusion – 12)

Findings of hate speech in Social Networks

The news of the death of an NLD party Member of Parliament in a liberated area was reported, and hate speech involving sexual harassment against female revolutionaries was spread on the “Sit Thwe” Telegram channel. In the report, it falsely claimed that the NLD representative did not die of a lung disease but from an HIV infection, and further alleged that the female revolutionaries were also infected with the same disease. The writing clearly mocks and sexually humiliates women.

Original Post (See the translation of the attached link below conclusion – 13)

Hate Speech targeting PDF

Supporters of the military often label those who do not support the military as “Nyi Paine” (a derogatory term). A cartoon posted on the “Sit Thwe” Telegram channel portrayed PDF members as criminals, alleging that the PDFs have become more advanced in their actions—escalating from supporting the NLD and engaging in terrorist acts, to now committing robberies and looting. The post included hate speech that belittled and insulted those opposing the junta by calling them “Nyi Paine” and depicted the PDFs as violent robbers, using accusatory and hateful language.

Original Post (See the translation of the attached link below conclusion – 14)

Findings of hate speech in Social Networks

Regarding the announcement that one member of the YDF was killed and six others were injured in the battle to capture Falam town, the “Sit Thwe” Telegram channel published content claiming that PDFs were being killed and injured in large numbers, with conflicting reports being issued. In this content, hate speech was used that compared PDF members to dogs and other animals, dehumanizing them with derogatory language.

Hate Speeches targeting AA

In a report stating that in early April, AA troops who attacked junta’s Battalion 5 in Kyunkauk, Ngapudaw Township, were forced to retreat after facing an airstrike, the Naypyidaw Telegram account used hate speech by referring to the AA troops as “dogs,” dehumanizing them through animal comparisons.

Original Post (See the translation of the attached link below conclusion – 16)

Regarding the rape case of a Chin woman in Paletwa Township, Chin State, the Ka Ka Han Telegram channel reported that the Khumi Youth Organization demanded an independent investigation. The report also incited the immediate execution of the AA members who committed the crime and claimed that Chin armed groups were evidently afraid of the AA. The content included hate speech comparing AA members to dogs and used derogatory language that belittled Chin armed groups.

Findings of hate speech in Social Networks

Findings of Misinformation and Disinformation

After the earthquake in Shwebo, Sagaing, on April 2, the Nidan account re-shared outdated information from 2023, falsely linking it to claim that a storm would occur in Rakhine State. This misinformation was reshared by 548 users.

Original Post (See the translation of the attached link below conclusion – 18)

Findings of hate speech in Social Networks

The Sein Late account disseminated a piece of disinformation by linking a fabricated image and manipulated text, falsely claiming that the TNLA is arresting and harassing PDFs in northern Shan State because the NUG military forces had seized narcotics worth over fifty million kyats from the Tahokhpan operation of the TNLA.

Original Post (See the translation of the attached link below conclusion – 19)

A fabricated news report was shared by the TikTok account "Zwe Zwe 233," falsely claiming that ARSA Muslim armed groups had deployed troops across Maungdaw Township, were launching attacks on AA convoys and checkpoints, and that Muslims in the Maungdaw area had joined forces with ARSA to launch a major offensive on the town. The entire report was a piece of disinformation created to incite fear and mistrust.

7Conclusion

In Myanmar, the spread of hate speech has increased divisions within society and is linked to human rights violations. Hate speech has contributed to misunderstandings between different social groups and among ethnic communities.

An analysis of hate speech incidents during the month of April reveals that they were primarily based on ethnicity, religion, and politics. Following calls for granting a separate state to the Rohingya, there has been a noticeable increase in hate speech against Rohingya people—not only from local Rakhine communities but also from well-known writers actively involved in federal democracy movements, who have expressed hatred toward Muslims. Additionally, after the natural disaster (earthquake) in Upper Myanmar, Mandalay, there were instances of religious and ethnic discrimination against Muslims. On the political front, those opposing military rule were mocked, dehumanized, and subjected to sexually degrading remarks, with no decline in such verbal abuse. Furthermore, the military junta’s disguised offensives have fostered mutual distrust among revolutionary armed groups.

Although hate speech intensifies violence within society, efforts to control it have not yet yielded effective results domestically, primarily because it is systematically used as part of the military’s strategy of disguised offensives.

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

Living with Bengali or not

The news of a Khami man brutally killed by ARSA terrorists was reported by Express News and Bengali are giving reacts “love” Non-Muslim are suffering in different ways due to the religious extremists Jihad ideology that is based on religious extremism and hatred.

It is true that the Arakan Army seriously needs to handle this issue for the peace and stability of our land and sea. The terrorists and their followers are recorded wherever they are, in Coz Bazaar or other places. No place for extremist Jidahist in Rakhine state.

Mindset of Bengali Muslims

In border areas such as Buthidaung and northern Maungdaw, the illegal Bengali infiltrators have not only just started killing Rakhine, Bamar, Hindu, Mro, Khami, Daingnet, and non-Muslim people — they have been committing such murders with hatred for many years to an uncountable extent. The Bengalis entered the Rakhine region illegally around the 1940s from their homeland in the Bengal region (Bangladesh) to farm and grow rice. Since then, they have built large villages, expanded territory, engaged in mass marriages and childbirth, and used their growing population to threaten and kill the indigenous Rakhine people.

Especially in border areas, the existence of illegal Bengali villages has provided a foundation for terrorism. Therefore, under the Security and Tranquility Plan, the illegally built Bengali villages should be encircled and dealt with.

Image – In 2012, members of a Burmese military engineering unit building a border fence were brutally captured and beheaded by RSO members.

The Bengalis are not just spreading about armed terrorism on Facebook; they are actually engaging in it on the ground… Thousands of Bengali youth have attended training sessions conducted by the military council and have obtained large quantities of combat weapons and ammunition from the military council. In Cox's Bazar as well, with the help of the Bengali government and militant Pakistanis, terrorist training and sabotage training sessions have been conducted repeatedly. Along the Rakhine border, they are systematically preparing to harm Rakhine territory by building many strong military bases.

While Rakhines are just talking on Facebook, saying “we’ll do this, we’ll do that,” the Bengalis will not back off… Just as the saying goes, “the frog dies because of the noise,” we are the ones being terrorized — while we shout about what to do, the terrorists don’t say a word and instead wage a violent jihad and religious war using every possible means. They are conducting a silent jihad. What the Rakhine people need to understand is that instead of hesitating or just shouting into the wind about doing this or that, Rakhine youth must take responsibility on the ground for defense. We need to use force to uproot this from the ground. We need to take control of the entire border line with overwhelming numbers. A large force of youth is needed to defend every single one of our villages. All Rakhines already know what the Bengalis are doing and what they are plotting… The Bengalis have the numbers — that much is clear.

We must respond to the terrorist jihadists with the greatest force and build up our towns, villages, and border areas with our own strength… We need to be able to step firmly on our own borders. As long as those terrorists exist, Rakhines will continually suffer. The Rakhine people must do everything they can — we need a united, powerful force to act.

What the Bangladeshi Communist Party says is that it has asked the Chinese Communist Party to establish a separate and independent state in Rakhine State. The terrorist Kalars consider Rakhine State as their ancestral homeland. China itself has imprisoned most of the Kalas and oppressed them to this day, so it isn't easy to understand.

It is too bad that the Kalars also consider Rakhine State as their ancestral homeland. Therefore, we will only be able to tighten security to be good situations.

Translation (5)

Ba Chit - Not only these Rohingya living in this country, they are now asking for their autonomous region in the state. This is too much. If we are caring for humanitarian assistance, we will regret it. We have to make sure from the beginning. The birth rate of Rohinya and other Indian descendants is very high and has no limit. Over time, they can even swallow our ethnic people. That has to be careful.

Naing Aung La Htaw - OIC is trying to steal the land not only from now but also since the beginning by giving the reason for the ICC.

Even though Non pork eaters and pictures on the water surface will be barely found in the future. Preparation is essential. Forget about Sara (Buddhist teaching) when something happens, if not, will be killed. These are the pictures from Mandalay.

Islamization & Jihad

Islamization means making the non-Muslim land as the Muslim land. This is islamization. Force conversion into Islam, whether by means of soft power or hard power, is called islamization.

There are three types of islamization. (1) force conversion Non-Muslim to be Muslim. (2) Make non-Muslim land into Muslim land (3) Forcing the whole culture to be islamic. In the beginning, they will create a “No Go Zone” where non-Muslim are afraid of going to that area. They use Jihad methodology to create No Go Zone. This is done in line with the Quran in the eyes of Muslim.

Translation (10)

Pin Myint San - Let's say this time based on our fear. You may donate to them for eating, drinking and shelter. But you have to think again about donating to their mosque. Mosque is the place where their religion is taught. Our Buddha has taught that their religion is wrong. So, donating to rebuild their mosque is like supporting the wrong religion. Think Again. I am not saying not to donate. Evil religion is the worst sin according to the Buddha teachings. Don’t buy sin with your own money, just donate for their livelihood.

Translation (11)

There are many PDFs women who are having abortion due to their actions between male PDFs and female PDFs. How their revolution in the forest is successful ! PDFs women are now often having abortion. This is the evidence.

Translation (12)

Our armies have been tired since morning. They have been doing counter attacks to those enemies who were attacking us with heavy weapons and drones. By the way, they even bombed our forces living in Yatae monastery. They were lucky to be safe. Another issue is that CDM women in Lasio are working as prostitutes and they are HIV positive now. They may be happy as they are doing what they want. We wish them to be happy for what they love to do.

A fugitive NLD member of parliament, Nay Lin Aung, has died due to the AIDS. he has been sleeping with female PDFs since a long time ago. They didn’t want to show the truth. So they were trying to cure him of lung disease. In this narrative, how many PDF women will be who are affected with AIDS.

Translation (14)

Ne Paine (NLD supporters) are advancing themselves from blind supporters to terrorists. They become terrorists and bandits from thieves. PDFs looting gold & jewellery shops are the evidence of what is happening.

Translation (15)

Dogs PDFs are dying a lot in Phalam. Many groups are announcing the death and injuries of Padat. Those who went to collaborate were also dead. In Phalam, many got injured and many died. Dog Thit (referring to Khit Thit) Media might say ‘no death’.

AA who were testing Military base 5 in Ingapur township a few days ago are returning after they got striked by air force. There are approximately 40 dead bodies who were buried in Sisan village. They are losing both soldiers and weapons. We heard that they came back in the evening to take revenge for what they lost.

Translation (17)

Chin Khumi (GKYA) is demanding to investigate those two AA members who rape Chin women in Palatwa twonship of Chin State. They are demanding to investigate AA terrorist dogs. These dogs should be beaten to death. It is very obvious that they are also afraid of AA. Chin evil army does not dare to do anything to them. Chin army is silent even AA is raping and torturing chin ethnic people. They are very afraid of AA.
