“We see significant rolling back of some key areas of rights in
recent years … it’s absolutely critical for the government to
repeal 66(d) of the Telecommunications Law, repeal the
Official Secrets Act or narrow it in such a way that it does not
interfere in the public’s right to know, and deal with intolerance and disinformation, including by tackling incitement to
discrimination,” said David Kaye the UN Special Rapporteur
on the Right to Freedom of Opinion and Expression.
In regards to the government:
“There is little to no public consultation when it comes to developing laws, which is a key challenge. The Citizen Privacy
and Security Law, for example, is not well designed and in
some ways, violates digital rights,” said Nay Phone Latt, MP
for Yangon Regional Parliament.

“We made many promises in our manifesto … and some we
have not been able to deliver because of weak institutions,
including the NLD itself. We do however recognise that our
party is not the same as it used to be and we are trying to
change,” said a speaker representing the NLD.
In regards to the courts:
"Courts cannot deal with digital rights issues. Judges don’t
even understand what ‘share’ means. And the government
hasn’t made even a single scratch in reforming the courts. In
practice we see the head moving one way and the body moving the other," said a speaker representing lawyers.
