Our determination to get rid of this brutal military is stronger than ever. The int'l community must stand with the people of Burma who are risking their lives by
- Stopping the flow of money and arms to the military
- Sanctioning aviation fuel
- Referring Burma to the ICC
I am heartbroken & hope this is a wake-up call that the int'l community need to finally hold the military accountable. The Burmese military doesn't care about statements & int'l community's inaction created a sense of impunity for the military. It's time to end it now.

The executions are a sign of how weak and desperate the military is, but trying to terrify the people into submission won’t work.
These executions demonstrate again the urgent need to increase international pressure on the Burmese military.

I'm devastated by news that former parliamentarian Zeyar Thaw and longtime activist Ko Jimmy were executed with two others today. UN Member States must honor their lives by making this depraved act a turning point for the world's response to this crisis. My statement attached.
