Reading Time: < 1 minute

Sky News’s reporting of the civil war in Myanmar has been recognized at the Amnesty International UK Media Awards. The channel was the winner in the Broadcast News category for “Myanmar’s Hidden War.” Chief correspondent Stuart Ramsay and his team spent a month living in the jungle with the rebels, amidst the conflict, and found people brave enough to share their harrowing stories of survival and resistance against the army.

Reflecting on his time in the country, Ramsay wrote, “The jungle of Myanmar was to be our home for a month as we reported on a war that has been so rarely witnessed by outsiders. Our job was to gather evidence of a conflict the junta denies and record the testimony of thousands of civilians forced from their homes by airstrikes, artillery shells, and infantry attacks.”

Ramsay highlighted the incredible bravery of volunteers, medics, doctors, and nurses working in dangerous conditions, as well as the resilience of families surviving in a climate of danger and destruction. Despite the challenges, the people Ramsay spoke to shared how the Myanmar military’s actions only strengthened their resolve.

Amnesty International UK’s chief executive, Sacha Deshmukh, commended the bravery of journalists and media workers who risk their lives to uncover human rights abuses and hold power to account. He emphasized the importance of journalists speaking truth to power, even in the face of threats and danger.

The annual awards aim to highlight excellence in human rights journalism and honor those who continue to shed light on important issues around the world. The recognition of Sky News’s reporting on Myanmar’s civil war serves as a reminder of the vital role journalists play in bringing attention to global conflicts and human rights violations.
