On September 25, 2023, Aljazeera featured an interview with Hnin Htet Htet Aung, a Master’s student at the School of International and Public Policy, for an article titled, “‘Still My People’: Myanmar Diaspora Supports Democracy Struggle Back Home.” This article focuses on how Myanmar people living abroad are helping to sustain the democracy movement with limited international support that was spurred into action by the February 2021 military coup. Hnin Htet Htet Aung was interviewed for her actions of standing outside a Tokyo metro station with a collection box to raise money for humanitarian causes and raise awareness and empathy among her Japanese peers. She said, “Although I am in Japan personally, I always think about what I can and should do for my country. That is my responsibility to contribute to my country.”
