What kind of freedom and expression does Burma have?

Burma, also known as Myanmar, has faced significant restrictions on freedom and expression, particularly under military rule. While there have been periods of relative openness since the political reforms began in 2011, the military coup in February 2021 led to a severe crackdown on dissent, media freedom, and civil liberties. Journalists, activists, and ordinary citizens face harassment, arrest, and violence for expressing dissenting views. Overall, the situation remains precarious, with ongoing repression affecting the ability of people to freely express themselves.
