I am looking forward to addressing the UN Human Rights Council on Wednesday. My main message: the world must change the current, ineffective response to the junta's reign of terror against the people of Myanmar. The stakes could not be higher and there is no time to lose.
#Myanmar army spokesman Zaw Min Htun suggests that the 600 over deaths thus far were accidental shots
Irrawaddy Burmese quoted him saying “if the army had intended to shoot, that figure can be reached within hours”
To the people of #Myanmar- we couldn’t seek you out while we were in your country. Please know that we heard your voices, we saw your pain and your courage and we will do everything we can to do justice to your story. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Effectively, this means both the US and UK have banned their citizens from working with both the #Myanmar army's conglomerates which control a range of businesses from alcohol and tobacco to banking and telecommunication
This is 1 of the videos trending on social media. This happened Saturday morning in #Dawei, southeastern part of #Myanmar. The condition & whereabouts of victim shot & taken away by #military security forces as seen in video unknown. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
#Myanmar#military on state tv Friday warned security forces will fire at protesters opposing #militarycoup. On Saturday, they made good of their threat with increasing number of horrific pics/videos of victims shot by police/soldiers around the country #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
4 people killed in Myeik today. Families can't even announce the death and take photograph to give the journalists as they're afraid of security forces who can take the dead bodies.
#Myanmar army airs this thinly veiled threat, warning protesters they could get shot in the head if they continued protesting
Warning comes ahead of Armed Forces Day on Mar 27
It’s also not the first such warning: Previously, it said “lives will be lost”
@USEmbassyBurma South Okkalapa,Yangon: Images of terrorists strangling a civilian’s neck with a rope. In the last photo,it can be seen that the neck was already broken and the victim was no longer alive. One of the cruel actions of Inhuman animal terrorists.
