Forsea co-founder Dr Maung Zarni said, ” by joining the Sumud Flottila Ko Tinmaung has demonstrated what a refugee and a member of a genocidally persecuted ethnic community can do as an act of solidarity and principled activism with other wretched of earth.” He added, “so many Rohingyas and Myanmar people take pride in his risky attempt to be a part of a collective action to break Israel’s genocidal siege of Gaza.” Ko Tinmaung was reading Frantz Fanon’s anti-colonial classic Black Skin, White Mask aboard Umut, before his abduction.
Day One: 16 May 2026 from “Ko Tinmaung from Akyab, currently living in Tkaronto”.
