Heartbroken by the latest aerial massacre in Sagaing. The Myanmar junta continues to commit brutal atrocities, killing at least 50, including children. I implore the UN: how many more massacres must occur before you take action? How much longer will our people suffer under this?
#PazigyeeSagaing Inhuman horrific air strikes by the genocidal military jets this morning on the Pazigyee village of Sagaing have killed 53 innocent villagers including children and women,and critically injured dozens of innocent villagerspregnant women.#WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
BREAKING: Phyo Zeya Thaw, Ko Jimmy, and two other political prisoners have been executed in Yangon, according to the military's Global New Light newspaper. The men, two of Burma's leading democracy figures, had been sentenced to death for allegedly masterminding attacks.
Against the urging of the international community, #Myanmar’s junta says it has executed four pro-democracy activists.
They include Phyo Zeya Thaw, a hip hop artist who became an MP, and Ko Jimmy, one of the country’s most beloved veteran activists.

If #Myanmar#military did indeed execute the 4 political prisoners as reported, this must certainly impact @ASEAN "unity", the ability of the rotating #ASEAN chair, the 5-point consensus & the approach the bloc has been taking https://t.co/QbboucRWWl

Massive frenzy as many reacted with anger & disbelief after Myanmar state media news reported that #Myanmar#military may have executed 4 political prisoners including 2 renowned activists, Jimmy & Phyo Zeyar Thaw. Phrasing in reports rather ambiguous #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
1st execution in 30 years in #Burma! Outrageous & unacceptable execution of 4 political prisoners by junta shows depths of depravity to which Min Aung Hlaing & #Tatmadaw commanders prepared to sink. When is world going do something about crimes against humanity in #Myanmar? @hrw
Two of Myanmar’s most prominent dissidents were among the four hanged inside Insein Prison on Saturday
