Maung Sawyeddollah was 15 when Myanmar’s military unleashed a campaign of killings and violence against people from the Rohingya ethnic group. Incitement circulated on Facebook, and amplified by the platform’s algorithms, fed into these attacks. Fearing for their lives, Sawyeddollah and his family fled to Cox’s Bazar refugee camp in Bangladesh. Now, Sawyeddollah and others from his community are calling on Meta, owner of Facebook,  to pay reparations for its role in the atrocities, including funding for educational programmes in Cox’s Bazar.

Demand Meta provides an effective remedy to Sawyeddollah and Rohingya communities.
