The Myanmar junta has sentenced 112 Rohingya, including a dozen children, to between two and five years in prison for attempting to flee its persecution "without legal documents." It won't even call them their Rohingya name but, disparagingly, "Bengalis." https://t.co/hAu0fpIxeN
Myanmar’s ousted elected leader Daw Aung San Suu Kyi would serve a combined 33 years jail time after junta trials described by many as a sham #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar https://t.co/AMqi3GniJC
My recent report found that conflicts and/or attacks erupted in 266 townships out of 330 in Myanmar. The current conflict is far more extensive and widespread than the civil war in 1948-49, although the latter had higher intensity and posed serious threats to central authority.
1/3 Pado Saw Soe Myint, chairman of the KNU Brigade #1 in Thaton District, confirmed that the army and the BGF have arrested about 100 local villages as human shields and porters at the Lay Kay camp #Mon State, Beelin Township.
Joint forces of pro-democracy villagers of several villages from northern Salingyi township and eastern Yinmarbin township staged a strike against military dictatorship. #2022May10Coup#WarCrimesOfJunta#WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
1/3 February: The Myanmar Military launched 4 airstrikes across the Putao region in Kachin State, #Myanmar. Civilians are targeted in the crossfires of fighting between the Myanmar Military & local militia groups. 2,000 people flee into the jungle. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
Charges against Daw Aung San Suu Kyi are unfair & designed to keep her out of the political arena for years. ASSK is just one of over 10,000 political prisoners in Burma who have been unlawfully arrested and sentenced. The int'l community must speak out for all pp in Burma.
With the world’s attention elsewhere, #Myanmar’s military is waging a fierce campaign to crush democratic opposition, burning more than 100 villages since the start of the year. @walone4 & I spoke to residents and looked at satellite photos. https://t.co/tsHbUBSdC6
In the UNSC, Russia and China use their veto power to block action against the Burmese military.
Senators McConnell and Young are the Russia and China of the US Senate, protecting the Burmese military against action to cut their supply of money and arms

1/2 Many ethnic students in #Myanmar are prevented from attending University because their high school diplomas aren't recognized by the Myanmar government. This is an enormous barrier for bright young minds,

Almost unbearable to read these accounts of young people, some teenagers, who set aside bright futures to take part in the armed resistance to #Myanmar’s coup and have died horribly. #crd#WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

Today my father, Ko Mya Aye, was sentenced to 2 years in prison. This verdict was handed down a year after being in prison, on unfair trial for months & on his birthday. I was prepared for any ruling but still angry & sad. Praying for his health on his birthday.
Thinking of parellells of what is happening in Ukraine and what has been happening in Burma/Myanmar over the last year. We have meglomaniac leaders in both countries: Putin and Min Aung Hlaing, who both have zero regard for human rights and their own people 1/16.
I'd like to ask for help pay for this PDF solider's medication. A bullet pierced his stomach and he needs a new bag replacement. I don't understand much about the medical needs but it would be great if we can all pitch in to help him. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
