@DeputySecState @ZinMarAungNUG @ASEAN Thank you so much indeed!

Absolutely heart-breaking & poignant as note seen on social media believed to be written by a #Myanmar citizen comparing oxygen supply deficit leading to rising #covid19 deaths with death of American George Floyd who died as policeman knelt on his neck #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

PHOTO: People are seen today waiting to re-fill the oxygen cylinders in Kalay town, Sagaing Region. The horrible outbreak in the town which the military said nothing about. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

[UN Special Rapporteur Tom Andrews @RapporteurUn]

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.

[UN Human Rights Council @UN_HRC]

Following a vote, members of the Human Rights Council decided to maintain scheduled interactive dialogues on #Myanmar, including with @RapporteurUn Tom Andrews and with UN High Commissioner for Human Rights @mbachelet, during the current 47th session.

My expectations for Asean's response to the crisis in Myanmar were always fairly low. Now they are lower.

BREAKING: Aung San Suu Kyi appeared in person at a court hearing on Monday for the first time since she was detained nearly four months ago in Naypyitaw. Suu Kyi reportedly told her lawyers, “The NLD was founded for the people and it will exist as long as these people are there."

[UN Special Rapporteur Tom Andrews @RapporteurUn]

Tomorrow the UN Gen Assembly will consider a resolution that includes a call for an immediate embargo of weapons and military equipment to Myanmar. I urge all states to support it & then refer it to the Security Council for immediate action. https://t.co/pabkeJeZ5u

#Myanmar #military has cut off water supplies to #Mindat town #Chin state. A resident confirmed that it happened today. The town has been under #MartialLaw since May 13. Person (in recording) told me many have fled but the humanitarian situation is grave #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

[UN Special Rapporteur Tom Andrews @RapporteurUn]

The recent G7 commitment to prevent arms transfers & technical cooperation w Myanmar is a welcome step coming 10 days after Min Aung Hlaing broke his ASEAN commitment to a cessation of violence. I urge others to join & help build global momentum for accountability through action.

Protestors gather in New York for the Global Spring Revolution for Myanmar.

[Cape Diamond @cape_diamond]

According to local news reports, the plainclothes security forces in #Mandalay using weapons attacked civilians who marched in the street joining today’s #GlobalSpringRevolutionDay. At least three arrested in the morning.

[Kenneth Roth @KenRoth]

What happened to the Myanmar coup leader's promise to ASEAN to stop the violence? Today, "Myanmar security forces opened fire on some of the biggest protests against military rule in days...killing eight people." What will ASEAN do? More sitting-on-hands? https://t.co/JLUOob5qfg

May Day! May Day! May Day!

[UN Special Rapporteur Tom Andrews @RapporteurUn]

How will ASEAN and the world respond to Min Aung Hlaing's outright dismissal of his commitment at the ASEAN Summit to an immediate cessation of violence in Myanmar? How about with strong coordinated sanctions an arms embargo and engagement with a legitimate partner - @NUGMyanmar?

[Cape Diamond @cape_diamond]

JUST IN: #Myanmar Junta lifted the curfew-style nightly internet cuts (mostly from 1 - 9 am since Feb) starting from tonight, ISPs say. (NOTE: this is only for Fiber internet.)

Broadband, mobile internet still shutdown. Facebook, Twitter still blocked.

[UN Special Rapporteur Tom Andrews @RapporteurUn]

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

[May Wong @MayWongST]

#Myanmar civilian government @NUGMyanmar has called on #Interpol to arrest #military chief Min Aung Hlaing when he travels to #Jakarta #Indonesia to attend the @ASEAN leaders' summit April 24 to discuss the Myanmar crisis. The general staged coup on Feb 1 #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

[UN Special Rapporteur Tom Andrews @RapporteurUn]

Horrified to learn that in addition to murdering at least 737 people & arresting well over 3200, the junta's attacks have already left nearly a quarter million Myanmar people displaced, according to sources. The world must act immediately to address this humanitarian catastrophe.
