Hate Speech & Violence

In 2010, Myanmar transitioned from a military dictatorship to a quasi-civilian government, propelled by political and economic reforms. The environment which resulted from the actions of Myanmar authorities "emboldened those who preach hatred and silenced those who stand for tolerance and human rights [and created] an environment where extremists’ discourse can thrive, human rights violations are legitimized, and incitement to discrimination and violence facilitated" as found by the Independent International Fact Finding Mission on Myanmar.
