MNN members work in coordination with senior Ma Ba Tha monks, and have co-hosted events, as discussed below. In one example from September 2015, Ashin Parmoukkha was seen on a social media post speaking at a large MNN-organized gathering under a MNN banner donning 969 logos.421 In addition, Latt and Myint are frequently seen with Ashin Parmoukkha, including on a visit to a local police station with the latter to pressure the sentencing of an allegedly mentally ill Muslim man, as seen on Facebook.422 In June 2015, MNN leaders were also seen on Facebook with other senior Ma Ba Tha officials and monks as part of the Save Shwedagon rally,423 and also appear to have played a role in helping coordinate the Ma Ba Tha’s flood relief drive in August. A large amount of imagery, much of it disseminated by the MNN itself on social media, showed its leaders working alongside the Ma Ba Tha Central Committee figures and the military. In one series of images found on Facebook, Latt and other MNN members are shown collecting donations on behalf of the Ma Ba Tha;424 in another set of Facebook photos, they were shown discussing relief efforts with deputy commander of the 33rd Light Infantry Division Colonel Kyaw Kyaw Htun and Daw Paw Shwe of the Ma Ba Tha Central Committee.425 426 Image 43: Facebook image of MNN members with Daw Paw Shwe of the Central Committee and a Tatamadaw officer to coordinate flood relief, likely in Sagaing Region, in July 2015 427 Image 44: Facebook iamge of Ashin Parmoukka and other Ma Ba Tha monks at MNN event, “Nationalist Talk,” at Kyaikdayyone Pagoda in Thanlyin, in October 2015, Hate Speech Propagandists There are several outright anti-Muslim hate speech propagandists in close proximity to the Ma Ba Tha.

The PDP is a small political party that participated in the 2010 elections and fielded 14 candidates in 2015, all of whom lost.428 Wai was previously a labor rights activist, most famous for leading anti-land grab protests against Khin Shwe’s Zaykabar Company429. Since then, he has gravitated towards a hardline anti-Muslim message, and on numerous occasions, has threatened and slandered Muslims on his active and popular online channels430 that have repeatedly been taken down by Facebook.

Offline, he has participated and spoken at Ma Ba Tha rallies.431 Wai is a strong supporter of the ‘race and religion’ narrative and his supposed account posts pictures of himself with Ma Ba Tha paraphernalia.432 On various occasions in the past, Nay Myo Wai has disseminated hate speech and rumors.
