So so fucked up. We know that these people will be detained, potentially jailed for a long time (with all that entails in Myanmar), conscripted straight into the military, even if neither of those things happen... Myanmar isn't exactly safe. /sigh

This plane landed in Myanmar about three hours ago. This is the third ICE flight to Myanmar this year. Burmese deportees in 2025 were immediately sent to a torture facility next to the airport, according to Myanmar Now. Weeks later, not all of them had emerged.

5 August – Rohingya Black Day Today, we remember the lives lost, the families displaced, and the suffering the Rohingya people have endured. Our pain has not ended, and our hope for justice, dignity, and a safe return to our homeland remains alive. We remember. We will not forget.

"protect service users from discrimination" Literally barring an entire group of the population from accessing necessary facilities, literally trying to police people's genitals. Grotesque. Very much looking forward to everybody involved with this being humiliated in court.

Our code of practice for services, public functions and associations comes into force today. It provides practical guidance on how the Equality Act 2010 applies to services, public functions and associations. Find out more: https://ow.ly/alIf50Zwrkx

Quote from Dr Mary-Ann Stephenson: 'At the EHRC we want a society where everyone’s rights are respected and realised, so that we can all live well together. Our statutory guidance will help services across the country comply with the Equality Act, protecting service users from discrimination and harassment while reducing the risk of the provider being subject to litigation. 



As Britain’s equality regulator, our work doesn’t end upon publication of this guidance. We monitor compliance with the law and take enforcement action where proportionate and necessary, in line with our well-established regulatory model and decision-making framework.'

Malaysia has for many years hosted refugees from Myanmar who have fled oppression and atrocities by the Myanmar military. But the Malaysian government recently announced the planned return of 5,000 Rohingya to Myanmar, where they face persecution and violence. New from HRW: https://bit.ly/3TAwpBR

Been tied up with my own shit, but simultaneously digesting a number of recent incidents of international profile here in SE Asia. First, the case of the Italian student group that nearly got itself lynched in Bangkok, over behavior on the sky train. 🧵 world.thaipbs.or.th/detail/itali...

Its a fairly major development that the Junta have allowed the ICRC to visit ASSK in Myanmar. There has been a big campaign by her supporters for the Junta to provide "Proof of life". Suspect that they have not because of pressure but because doing so helps them spin the story of "normalisation".
