Here is a translation of my message about the arrest & torture of Hlan Phyo Aung. The world must know about the living hell that has become daily life for so many in Myanmar. Inaction must no longer be an option.
A pro-democracy activist Wai Moe Naing, a leader of the Monywa community, was beaten and arrested at around 2pm near the top of Yingmar Myaing Road on Tha Si Road, where the main strike began. #Apr15Coup#WhatsHappeningInMyanmar@freya_cole@KenRoth
4 detained civilians from Bago and 19 pro-democracy activists from North Oakkala, Yangon were SENTENCED to DEATH with article 369 - declared on military controlled propaganda MRTV 8pm news!!!
DEATH PENALTY

Dictator claimed that they have been lenient on civilians regarding the crackdown.
They could shoot 500 civilians in just an hour
They were publicly threatening civilians to kill if we don’t obey
Guns can kill us but they cannot change our spirits #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
The failure of the UN Security Council to even consider a strong resolution on Myanmar this week was regrettable. Using it as an excuse for inaction would be unacceptable. Coordinated international action to support those under siege & hold the junta accountable cannot wait.
