The campaigner said it was a nonviolent way to pressure the junta to end the coup and restore Myanmar democracy.

“The military knows one language. It is pressure,” said Tun Aung Shwe, a member of the Burmese community in Australia, who went to Canberra to urge the government to sanction people affiliated with the junta.

“Social punishment effectively shook up the junta, causing them to rethink what they were doing, “said Aung Shwe.

Meanwhile, repeated calls to the military and government asking for a response went unanswered.

Apart from humiliating friends, colleagues and relatives of the junta on social media, the activists have also created a website called socialpunishment.com, whose information has been widely shared on Facebook.

The website features more than 120 profiles of people accused of being part of the coup that has halted 10 years of democratic reform and committed bloody repression.

It ranks the “traitor” scale from elite to low, and there are photos of the people they profile, details of their associations, and their whereabouts in the world, making it easier for Burmese in those countries to track them down.

In 2016, there were nearly 33,000 people from Myanmar living in Australia alone.
