#MNHRC remains silent & haven't said even a word or issued a statement about junta's ongoing atrocity crimes against ppl of #Myanmar. It is obvious that #MNHRC is not independent, but merely a proxy of the junta.

Junta-controlled MNHRC remains silent and complicit in the junta's ongoing violence across #Myanmar. There's no place for a body under junta's control in intl human rights platforms. @Ganhri1: uphold the Paris Principles and remove #MNHRC. https://t.co/YBAmNTIZxm
👉Who holds the power to appoint/dismiss #MNHRC commissioners shows a clear lack of independence, violating the #ParisPrinciples. These legal failures mirror what we've long fought against—ensuring a fair, transparent appointment system is key @Ganhri1
