On December 13, activists launched a comment campaign on the official Facebook pages of the International Criminal Court (ICC) and Chinese embassies worldwide, protesting against Chinaโs alleged interference in Myanmarโs internal affairs.
Starting in the morning, activists posted comments in Burmese, Chinese, and English under posts shared by Chinese embassies in countries including Malaysia, the United Kingdom, Norway, Thailand, and Myanmar, as well as on the ICCโs official page.
Some activists referred to the movement as the โFascist Revolution, Peopleโs Movement to Defy China,โ promoting the campaign widely on social media since its launch.
The protests followed a request submitted by the ICCโs Attorney General on November 27, calling for an arrest warrant against Myanmarโs military leader, Min Aung Hlaing, over alleged crimes committed during the military coup. Responding to the request, a spokesperson for Chinaโs Ministry of Foreign Affairs urged the ICC to act โproperly and fairlyโ during a press conference on November 28.
