The ban is officially imposed today, six months to the day after the arrest of two Reuters journalists who had been investigating a massacre of Rohingya civilians.<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/section><section class=\"content-page__body font-18\">\r\n<div class=\"field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden\">\r\n<div class=\"field-items\">\r\n<div class=\"field-item even\">\r\n\r\nThe <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/804e7c04ad55428eb4f710f3a8cc2639\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">last broadcast of an <i>RFA<\/i>-produced programme in Myanmar<\/a> was yesterday evening. It was carried by <i>MRTV<\/i>, a TV channel owned by <i>Democratic Voice of Burma (DVB)<\/i>, which was ordered by the authorities to stop transmitting <i>RFA<\/i> programmes if they continued to use the word \u201cRohingyas.\u201d\r\n\r\n<i>\u201cRadio Free Asia will not compromise its code of journalistic ethics, which prohibits the use of slurs against ethnic minority groups,\u201d<\/i> <i>RFA<\/i>president <b>Libby Liu<\/b> said.\r\n\r\n<i>\u201cWe would like to express our solidarity with the <\/i>RFA<i> journalists who have been working constantly in the field to provide the Myanmar public with freely and impartially reported news and information,\u201d <\/i>said Daniel Bastard, the head of RSF\u2019s Asia-Pacific desk.\r\n\r\n<i>\u201cIt is the prerogative of totalitarian regimes to want to impose their \u2018newspeak\u2019 by banning the media from using certain terms \u2013 all the more so when the rest of the world uses the term. A prohibition on the word \u2018Rohingya\u2019 is indicative of a desire to rewrite history and reality. In a reminder of the former military government\u2019s worst era, this latest press freedom violation has further compromised the transition to democracy begun by Aung San Suu Kyi\u2019s party.\u201d<\/i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Orwellian order<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe authorities first announced their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.abc.net.au\/news\/2016-06-22\/aung-san-suu-kyi-bans-use-of-rohingya-name\/7534410\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Orwellian ban on the word \u201cRohingyas\u201d<\/a> in June 2016, two months after the installation of a government headed by Suu Kyi, who was long seen as the embodiment of democratic hopes in Myanmar. The word was to be replaced by the improbable phrase \u201cpeople who believe in Islam in Rakhine state,\u201d the authorities said.\r\n\r\nSince then, Myanmar media that want to continue publishing or broadcasting have had to comply with the directive. Those that are critical of the government\u2019s policies in Rakhine state, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmtimes.com\/news\/rakhine-another-side-story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">such as the <i>Myanmar Times<\/i><\/a>, use the neutral term \u201cMuslims.\u201d\r\n\r\nBut media that support the government use the discriminatory term \u201cBengalis,\u201d implying that the Rohingyas are just immigrants from neighbouring Bangladesh in order to legitimize the ethnic cleansing to which they have been subjected since August 2017. In reality, the Rohingya presence in Rakhine state dates back centuries.\r\n\r\nThe <i>BBC<\/i>\u2019s Burmese language service announced on 4 September 2017 that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thesundaily.my\/news\/2017\/09\/04\/bbc-burma-pulls-myanmar-tv-deal-over-rohingya-censorship\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">its daily programmes would no longer be broadcast<\/a> by its local partner, <i>MNTV<\/i>, because <i>MNTV<\/i> was being pressured by the authorities over the use of the term \u201cRohingya.\u201d\r\n\r\nThe ban on using the word \u201cRohingya\u201d is indicative of the scale of the taboo that this issue represents for Myanmar\u2019s authorities. Six months ago, just as <i>Reuters<\/i> was preparing to publish a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/investigates\/special-report\/myanmar-rakhine-events\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">report about a massacre of Rohingya civilians in the village of Inn Din<\/a>, two <i>Reuters<\/i>journalists, <strong>Wa Lone<\/strong> and <strong>Kyaw Soe Oo<\/strong>, were <a href=\"https:\/\/rsf.org\/en\/news\/myanmar-time-end-judicial-farce\">arrested on a charge of possessing official secrets<\/a> after <a href=\"https:\/\/rsf.org\/en\/news\/myanmar-rsf-condemns-illogical-refusal-free-reuters-reporters\">being lured to a meeting with a police officer<\/a> and being handed some documents.\r\n\r\n<a id=\"q\" name=\"q\"><\/a>Myanmar fell six places in <a href=\"https:\/\/rsf.org\/en\/ranking\">RSF&#8217;s 2018 World Press Freedom Index<\/a> and is now ranked 137th out of 180 countries.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Published by Reporters Without Borders on June 12, 2018 &nbsp;
