"The British Government is appalled by the security forces' use of deadly force against innocent people". Statement from the British Ambassador following violence in Hlaing Thar Yar and elsewhere in #Myanmar today.

It is time for UN member states to set a new standard for robust, unified action by imposing unrelenting sanctions on the junta of Myanmar. Here are my closing remarks to the UN Human Rights Council. https://t.co/SZalbqUiKY

Another tragic day for #Myanmar with reports of numerous people killed in Mandalay and elsewhere by security forces. The UN has made clear that such violence is unacceptable and those responsible should be held to account.
We are losing more lives today. Senseless, heartless attacks by the military attempting to diminish the power of the people. The world is witnessing an illegitimate #junta government attack their own citizens. Intl action must happen. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
Today I told the UN HR Council the Myanmar junta knows all about weapons of war but are at a loss how to deal with weapons of peaceful resistance wielded by a determined people defending their nation & their children's future. They need & deserve the UN to stand with & for them.

Dear intl community,
The more you release statements, the more we lose confidence in you.
While we fully understand and accept that this is our own fight, we expect some kind of action that would make these terrorists flinch.
Pls could do more of that if you truly care?
Thanks

“On March 15, 2020, at 3:00 p.m., Burma Army jet fighters suddenly dropped bombs on our villages. Nine villagers died and twelve were wounded. When the bombs dropped it was chaos.”
New surveillance technology from Huawei is giving the Myanmar junta the worrying capacity to identify people on the streets and possibly track their movements, posing a serious risk to anti-coup activists. https://t.co/xqDUxKkABn

International community needs to send a stronger message. Right after UNSC produces a “condemnation” statement, the terrorist junta again murdered people in broad daylight. What kind of message does it send to UNSC?
