As a Rohingya student, I couldn't be happier seeing these statements. I extend my utmost gratitude and appreciation to Student Unions of different Universities for standing with truth and against injustice. I'm so glad to welcome the apology...

#March26Coup
Structural failings, complicity, & denial persist at the highest levels of international legal + political mechanisms supposed to uphold & promote peace and justice.
Will you acknowledge
@antonioguterres that the UN is in desperate need of reform?

“what sets so many Black parents apart is the acute distrust underlying their doubts—doubts shaped by generations of racial discrimination & institutional inequality ... that impedes access to & delivery of quality health care for Black people, permeates their thinking & actions”
Petition to all bookstores to move textbooks on international law, international criminal law, and International justice to the fiction shelf until the international community gets it right with #Myanmar
1. This thread is about responses by Ethnic Armed Organizations (EAOs) vs Myanmar coup. #R2P (Responsibility to Protect) not only international, can also apply to EAOs within borders. EAOs have various capabilities. Not all have taken a stand vs. coup. #WhatsHappeninglnMyanmar 🌿
The tatmadaw accused @DrSasa22222 of inciting staff at Myanmar embassies to join the #CivilDisobdeienceMovementMyanmar, of calling for international sanctions on coup leaders & cited discussions with ethnic armed groups asking them to collaborate to bring down the military regime
Julie’s case highlights the entrenched patriarchal & violent underpinnings of criminal justice structures which uphold impunity for rape: “The judge took other men at their word” that they didn't know Julie was underage & decided not to file charges.
A French woman has accused several firefighters of raping her multiple times over the span of two years, starting when she was 13 years old.
The verdict could make legal history and lead to a change in France's age of consent.#JusticePourJulie

After KIA engaged w/ Myanmar Military to divert them from more violent crackdown of protestors. Daily fighting reported and heavier military presence again near Laiza. Fighter jets fly above Myitkyina. Elderly, young mothers +children are fleeing again. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
Vile Australian immigration policy. “No child should ever be deported. & t fact that t minister described that child as part of taking t rubbish out, just shows you how bereft of any humanity this current gov is”.
New Zealand = right to see Australia as human rights pariah here.
"You die twice if you’re scared. It’s a disservice to the dead if we stop now out of fear. We will win this fight. We’ll keep fighting,” he said. By @Myanmar_Now_Eng#WhatsHapppeningInMyanmar

.@DominicRaab keeps welcoming what the US is doing but never gets round to doing anything himself.
1) Sanction military companies
2) Build an arms embargo coalition
3) Support ICC referral
4) Join genocide case at the ICJ
People are dying. A sense of urgency is appropriate.
I am proud of my male fris📣✊
