On #WorldPressFreedomDay, we must remember to prioritise the voices and struggles of local journalists in 🇲🇲 who are risking abduction, prosecution, torture, threats and prosecution to report the facts on the ground. Thank you for all that you do. 🙏🙏🙏

Shout out to @cape_diamond @kyawhsanhlaing1 @mrattkthu @HtetHak @_naungkham @yan_naing_aung @Santoshkrl17 @bakaung @JawTuHkawng @NuNuLusan @ZawMyet1 @RingNuAwng1 @hasnoor_hussain #followlocaljournalists #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar You all inspire me.

We must also remember that over 73 journalists are still behind bars. The junta continues their crackdown on free speech and free press by arbitrarily arresting reporters as well as prosecute them with bogus charges. Media licenses continue to be revoked. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

Once again, those of us outside Myanmar can do the following:
1. Donate to local media orgs like @FrontierMM, @Myanmar_Now_Eng
2. Buy VPNs, online subscriptions etc. and gift them to local journalists.
3. Amplify local voices and journalists
4. Listen, listen, listen.
