Nay San Lwin

Nay San Lwin is a co-founder of the Free Rohingya Coalition and has been advocating for human rights and raising awareness about the genocidal campaign against the Rohingya people in Arakan (Rakhine State) by the Myanmar military and government for the past two decades. Despite receiving several serious threats, including death threats, he has continued to speak out and provide timely and accurate information, fact-checking, and verification, as well as updates and analyses on the Rohingya crisis. He has spoken at various international conferences in Asia and Europe and several European countries' parliaments and is a prolific commentator in global mainstream media, television, radio, and grassroots media. Until 2021, he was regarded as an enemy of the Myanmar people due to public criticism by the Presidential and State Counsellor's Office for his role in disseminating news about military atrocities against the Rohingya in Northern Arakan State. Nevertheless, Nay San Lwin has persisted in advocating for justice and human rights for the Rohingya community. Following the military coup in Myanmar in early 2021, he has worked to build a strong relationship between the Rohingya and the wider Myanmar community, showing his solidarity with the people of Myanmar.
