Dr Sasa..says "We are facing crimes against humanity. We are facing a humanitarian catastrophe. We are facing a COVID-19 crisis," he said. "It is [going] unchecked, it is out of control, yet the world has ignored us. They have closed their eyes."

UN Secretary General @antonioguterres has echoed what the people of Myanmar know: "It is urgent to mount a unified international and regional response" to the coup as "the opportunity to prevent the military from entrenching its rule could be narrowing." https://t.co/dy5VhQ9PRG
We are willing to deal with the junta by ourselves. But if the international community keeps selling arms to them, how is it fair to us?
No concrete help to the people of Myanmar yet keep supporting the SAC. We demand #GlobalArmsEmbargo now!

Don’t push the young people of Myanmar into a situation of hopelessness and having no choice @ASEAN. It will have ugly political consequences. Talk and engage to @NUGMyanmar.
The genocidal military junta in Myanmar are using a brutal and cruel 4 cuts policy against the entire population of Myanmar with devastating consequences. They are using these 4 cuts policy (cutting food, funds, information and recruitment) through every means possible.
⚠️ According to news sources, internet access across most of the townships in Chin State has been shut off. We need international attention to prevent the massive crime against humanity about to be committed by SAC!
Whether you agree with her or not, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi is regarded as a motherly figure in the country. For many people, she is “Mother Su”.
That’s why her arrest feels like their mother has been abducted; not only their country’s leader. It is a very traumatizing experience.
Ministers and council members who served the NLD have also been accused of graft, though details of the cases are still unclear.

Here is a translation of my address to the UN Human Rights Council where I conclude that the world must summon the courage of the people of Myanmar and choose the path of meaningful and sustained action.
Time is short and the stakes could not be higher.

Thank you. We commend the US for being the first country to sanction military leaders & entities. Now it's critical that the US work with allies to expend sanctions & come up with plan to hold military leaders for their past & ongoing crimes.
Cycle of impunity must end.
