Today I issued the following statement on the UN Security Council resolution on Myanmar. The demands are important, but without consequences for failing to meet them, Myanmar's nightmare will continue. It is past time to act.

The Myanmar junta's 33 year sentence of State Counselor Aung San Suu Kyi comes a week after a Security Council resolution demanded her release and that of more than 13,000 other political prisoners. They need more than words of condemnation from world leaders. They need action.
There should be no "business as usual" with a military junta that is committing #CrimesAgainstHumanity. Sanctioning these exploitive companies is the least the international community can do to stand with the long-suffering people of #Myanmar.
The price of international inaction rose again in Myanmar when the junta announced it will hang pro-democracy activists while continuing to murder, abduct, and torture people throughout Myanmar. It is past time to step up w strong, coordinated, action.

@SAdamsR2P A bomb explodes in Mandalay's Aung Thar Yar ward. A 5-year-old girl was killed when soldiers opened fire on him. He said he knew the child was die, but if he wanted democracy, he would be under military rule.

The trial of #AungSanSuuKyi was a farce. #Myanmar's military junta can lock her up but they have already lost the battle of ideas. The rising generation in Myanmar reject military rule and atrocities committed in the name of stability. The future belongs to them.
Video showing a small group of young protesters doing nothing but marching, chanting and throwing pamphlets when security forces open fire. Monstrous and inexcusable but standard Tatmadaw behavior
⚠️ Myanmar brutal junta's vehicle drives through a group of peaceful protestors and opened fire and killed at least four young people in Pan Pin Gyi Road in Kyeemyindaing, Rangoon on the 5th December.

Today 4 youths were killed for protesting. These young people woke up early for the strike, confronted parents & got on streets to mobilize people to keep up the spirit & resist the Junta.
✅ Use yr available freedom to bring Myanmar back to attention pls.��
#Dec5Coup
Myanmar military soldiers brutally rammed a car into peaceful protesters killing and injuring many. It is a deliberate inhumane attack on protesters and constitutes a further terrorist crime SAC is committing.
On the 11th day of #16Days of Activism, we are sadly once again reminded of the bravery of all those peacefully protesting against the military coup in #Myanmar, and the cowardice of the military in targeting unarmed civilians.
At least 4 people has been killed due to SAC vehicle drives through a group of protesters and opened fire at Pan Pin Gyi Road in Kyeemyindaing, Yangon, this morning. #HelpMyanmarIDPs#Dec5Coup#WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
10 months since the coup in #Myanmar, the junta continues to target those opposed to military rule, including Ko Kyaw Kyaw Htwe, an #LGBTQ activist who was "disappeared" and murdered.
