Fortify Rights Urged to Refrain from Disseminating Misleading Allegations Against the Arakan Army
The Arakan Army (AA) has called upon the human rights organization Fortify Rights to cease spreading unsubstantiated allegations that misrepresent the situation in Arakan (Rakhine State) and tarnish the credibility of its operations.
In recent reports, Fortify Rights has released statements that rely on unverified sources and distort factual realities on the ground, portraying the AA in a negative light while overlooking its longstanding commitment to the protection of civilians and adherence to international humanitarian law.
The AA emphasized that such accusations, without credible evidence, not only mislead the international community but also risk reinforcing the propaganda narratives of the Myanmar military junta — a regime responsible for systematic atrocities and human rights violations across the country.
The group reiterated that its conduct during operations aligns with both domestic and international legal standards, prioritizing the safety and welfare of civilians. It urged international organizations to engage in impartial investigations and refrain from echoing politically motivated claims that undermine genuine efforts toward peace, justice, and self-determination in Arakan.
As attention on the Arakan conflict intensifies, the AA reaffirmed its dedication to transparency and accountability, calling on international actors and human rights organizations to exercise professional responsibility, verify information thoroughly, and avoid contributing to misinformation campaigns that hinder the path toward sustainable peace and regional stability.
