#Myanmar’s military junta faces increased armed resistance. In response, UN Special Rapporteur reports growing evidence of summary execution, torture, rape and sexual violence by security forces. #WhatsHappeninglnMyanmar are #CrimesAgainstHumanity. 🇲🇲

Military’s brutality & reign of terror will never bring stability; we need irreversible transformative change towards a federal democratic state; need to start with ending the illegal military junta, I stressed at Briefing by SESG at UNGA meeting.

#Myanmar's military junta would rather burn down schools than face the possibility that local children won't passively digest their anti-democratic propaganda. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar is a war against the civilian population, waged by an illegitimate military dictatorship.
The scorched earth war that #Myanmar's military junta is waging against their own people, continues⬇️
The best way to confront #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar is for the world to immediately sanction the perpetrators, cut off arms supply & recognize @NUGMyanmar as the legitimate govt.
#Ukraine 🇺🇦 is not the only place in the world where a brutal military is waging war against a civilian population. The difference is that in #Myanmar 🇲🇲, the junta is waging war against its own people. These #CrimesAgainstHumanity also deserve global attention & sanctions.
#Myanmar’s military junta are inflicting a scorched earth policy on the #Sagaing Region. They are imposing collective punishment on the civilian population for ongoing resistance to military rule. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar are #CrimesAgainstHumanity. 🇲🇲
Pro-#Myanmar army media Popular News Journal posts various photos showing @ASEAN special envoy Prak Sokhonn meeting army chief Min Aung Hlaing
It also reports that Mr Prak Sokhonn is set to meet civil society groups and various political parties in Myanmar
At ongoing #Myanmar webinar by @CAG_LKYSPP
Key points so far:
- 5 point consensus good on paper but has no application
- Role of @ASEAN special envoy needs more clarity, empowerment
- Non-interference principle used by Myanmar as shield for violence
WATCH: This video, posted on Karenni National Progressive Party’s Facebook page, purportedly shows #Myanmar army launching its Multiple Launch Rocket System in a military base in Kayah State

As the #Rohingya Genocide case continues in The Hague, it is worth remembering who supplies #Myanmar’s murderous Generals with the weapons they use to commit atrocities - then and now. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
Young men, some of whom from high school and university, reportedly killed in an armed clash with #Myanmar army in a paddy field in Sagaing
@TheChindwin, using photos from SSN, says around 12 members of the local people’s defence force killed in this clash
#Myanmar’s military junta will not end atrocities or get serious about ASEAN’s 5-Point Consensus until there are consequences for #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar. It’s time for ASEAN to impose targeted sanctions, arms embargo and hold direct high-level talks with @NUGMyanmar.
#Myanmar’s military junta is waging war & conducting a “scorched earth” campaign against their own people. Those who provide arms, trade & diplomatic cover to the Generals are also culpable. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar are #CrimesAgainstHumanity
Freedom of expression and peaceful assembly are enshrined in the UN’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights. #Myanmar’s military murdered this university student just for daring to publicly display a protest banner. This is #WhatsHappeninglnMyanmar.
Today's Silent Strike in Myanmar was yet another indication of the broad/deep opposition to the junta on the dark anniversary of their coup. Today I issued an appeal for stronger international action that featured courageous voices from Myanmar .

Another financial lifeline to #Myanmar’s murderous junta is cut. Australian energy giant @WoodsideEnergy is exiting the country in keeping with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. Another bad day for General Min Aung Hlaing.
“They killed innocent civilians and burned the bodies to destroy the evidence of their crime.” Doctor confirms several bodies from Karenni State massacre had their hands tied behind their backs & were gagged. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar#CrimesAgainstHumanity https://t.co/qoBwlFwaed
Disturbing reports of escalating attacks by junta forces on civilians in Karen state, with many thousands displaced, is another reason why the people of Myanmar desperately need stronger targeted sanctions, a global arms embargo and a robust increase in cross-border aid. Now.
