ASEAN’s leadership can have an impact in Burma. We appreciate efforts by @ASEAN to support a peaceful resolution of the crisis caused by the Burmese military. The military must take real steps to resolve the crisis: release detainees, end violence, and begin dialogue in earnest.
Myanmar junta authorities have filed several law suits against protest leader Wai Moe Naing - including for murder and treason, state television said. He was rammed off his motorbike in Monywa and arrested. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
I am releasing an open letter to Min Aung Hlaing asking if he will honor his ASEAN Summit commitment to an "immediate cessation of violence," and order forces under his command to stop attacking those exercising their right to protest his coup and junta. https://t.co/sWC30LSdx8
BURMA UPDATE: @USAsiaPacific's @USAmbKeshap, Acting @DRL_AS Scott Busby, & @CrphMyanmar agreed on the importance of restoring Burma’s path to democracy. The United States strongly supports the people of Burma, who reject military rule and yearn for peace. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
COVID-19 may not be such a great concern in Myanmar given the killings on the streets, but the collapse in testing since the coup means there is little indication to its spread #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
Heartbroken/outraged at news of the largest number of protesters murdered by Myanmar security forces in a single day. Junta leaders don't belong in power, they belong behind bars. Their supply of cash & weapons must be cut now. I appeal to UN member states to heed my call to act.
