Abstract: Myanmar’s democratic transition (2011-2021) saw several reforms that enhanced access to fundamental rights, although Freedom of expression (FoE) remained contingent. During this period, cyberspace emerged as a new avenue for people’s civic and political engagement and political engagement and created new pathways for citizens to claim the right to FoE. Following the military coup of 1st February 2021, FoE came under attack and new restrictions completely collapsed FoE. This research report presents the findings of study into the characteristics of online FoE in post-coup Myanmar.
