For all the people oblivious to why Facebook did this:

Because Myanmar people lobbied for it, and because the Myanmar military is terrorizing its own people, then lying about it.

The military is shooting its own people, kidnapping them in the middle of the night, and torturing them.

Over 10 protestors dead and 50+ injured, as they are using live rounds on protestors. Over 500+ disappeared or kidnapped. Protestors killed include two teenagers shot in the head, one of them a medic. They also shot at ambulance. They’ve threatened to kill doctors, and kidnapped many of them. Stole the covid vaccination after beating doctors trying to stop them.

Last night they shot a neighborhood watchman in my neighborhood (we have neighborhood watch to try and prevent late night kidnapping/disappearing by military).

We lobbied hard to get Facebook to take down this page and others where the Tatmadaw are attempting to cover up the truth.
