Facebook to be held to account for role in Rohingya genocide – Mishcon de Reya

December 6, 2021 Campaign News

Coordinated legal actions on behalf of victims and survivors of genocide started today in the UK and US, reports the law firm Mishcon de Reya. They allege that Facebook’s negligence encouraged and facilitated the genocide carried out by the Myanmar regime and its extremist supporters against the Rohingya people.

Mark Farmaner, Director of Burma Campaign UK, commented: “These cases are important not just to compensate Rohingya genocide survivors, but also to force Facebook to face up to the role it played in facilitating genocide and change the way it operates. Even today Facebook still allows the military to use Facebook to raise funds and spread propaganda.”
