Over 400 students and youths are being detained in Insein prison since March3. No news from inside the prison and parents have no idea how to connect them. - Students' parents told me. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
Inhumane scenes of violence in Yangon and Mandalay this weekend, as well as other remote areas. Several unverified videos reveal military officers badly beating young people with batons, sometimes kicking and dragging along the ground. Iโm told one victim is a medical student.
UN Resident Coordinator, Ola Almgren - โYesterday was a tragic day for Myanmar. Dozens of unarmed & peaceful protestors killed & many more injured. This is not acceptable. The perpetrators must be held to account. My sympathies go out to the families and friends of those killed.โ
"The UN stands with the people of Myanmar in their pursuit of democracy, peace, human rights & the rule of law."
@antonioguterres says that Myanmarโs military and police must ensure the right of peaceful assembly is fully respected. https://t.co/1GneGV9T06
