Exploitation rises in Myanmar
In Myanmar, even though open protests are not common any more as they were after the February 2021 military coup, the Civil Disobedience Movement (CDM) is still in action. A lot of state employees are no longer actively working in their positions. A small number of student activists and workers still protest, though in guerrilla style to avoid being arrested. On 24 August 2022, the military regime detained Vicky Bowman, a former British ambassador to Myanmar, and her husband Htein Lin, a Burmese artist and former political prisoner, on immigration-related allegations.
