Acknowledgements Internet freedoms are increasingly under threat, constituting part of the continuous regression in freedom of expression in Southeast Asia. Nowhere has this concerning trend been more apparent than in the Republic of the Union of Myanmar, since 1 February 2021 coup d'état. Threatened by the modern and dynamic capacity of the internet to facilitate democracy, the internet was the first target of the Tatmadaw's new tenure of brutal control and censorship. In conceptualising this report and placing a spotlight on these developments, Asia Centre would like to extend a sincere thank you to the Burmese nationals currently residing in Myanmar, as well as members of the Burmese diaspora who have aided us with valuable inputs for this report. These individuals wish to remain anonymous due to security concerns. We are also grateful for the speakers and participants who contributed generously through their insights during consultations as well as a webinar, “Law and Lawlessness: Myanmar Coup and Human Rights”, on 11 March 2021, in the run-up to the drafting of the report. We are thankful and grateful to our partners, The International Center for Not-for-Profit Law (ICNL) and the Association for Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Parliamentarians for Human Rights (APHR) for reviewing the draft of this report and providing constructive feedback. This report was led from the front, with research, drafting and editing by Asia Centre’s Executive Director Dr. Robin Ramcharan and Programme Coordinator Yawee Butrkrawee. Asia Centre’s Research Interns Rory McAfee, Roshni Sharma and Ayman Ragab also supported the research. A special mention and thank you goes to Asia Centre’s Associate, Dr Balázs Szántó, for his help in reviewing the report. We would also like to recognise Communications Assistant Srettapong Srimekarat for designing the cover, infographics and layout of the report.

Myanmar: Dismantling Dissent: Crackdown on Internet Freedoms is dedicated to the people of Myanmar, especially those leading the protests. Democracy exacts a huge price; we remember in this report those who have perished during the ongoing struggle for democracy in Myanmar. Your Sincerely Dr. James Gomez Regional Director Asia Centre
