Abstract

Hate Speech Targets and Usages

In this month’s (the month of January 2025) monitoring, hate speech targeted the most was PDF, and the second Arakan Army and the third was the Muslim community. Moreover, hate speeches targeting KIA and Rohingya people were found as well. Hate speeches targeted at the Rakhine people were also recorded along with AA.

    In addition, the most used terms of hate speeches for this month are "dog, terrorists, illegal immigrant Bengali, Kalar (a derogatory term referring to Muslims), and evil.

Hate Speech targeted Islam and the Muslim community

The issue of the Rohingya crisis became more complex after the coup in 2021. Since the Myanmar military allied with the Rohingya armed forces after the coup, the misconceptions about the Rohingya civilians have increased than before. Based on these misconceptions, the spread of hate speech against the Rohingya has grown significantly.

Based on the ongoing clash between the Rohingya armed organizations and the Arakan Army (AA) in northern Rakhine State, a Tiktot account named Yaungpyanlin posted a hate speech that the local ethnic people in Rakhine State will disappear and the Rohingyas will take over the whole state. In that post, the Rohingya in Rakhine State were targeted by Abusive Hate Speech and derogatory terms.
