An exiled Myanmar journalist’s story: Echoing public’s voice and resilience

A journalist writing for Exile Hub, a Southeast Asian press-freedom partner formed after Myanmar's 2021 coup, describes years of reporting on resistance groups, military authorities and gold-mining interests in Magway and Sagaing regions.

The work brought online threats, surveillance by military authorities, and eventually a reported death threat in April 2026 that forced the writer to flee to a border area with little more than the clothes worn that day.

The account closes on the toll such work takes on mental health and the writer's uncertain safety even now, alongside a resolve to continue the profession despite it.
