Burma's military regime continues to commit brutal attacks against the people of Burma. The United States continues to target revenue streams that support this violence, including today’s designation of the state-owned Myanma Gems Enterprise.
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.
Worrying to see people detained after being interviewed by @clarissaward. It's good for foreign journalists to be mindful of risks that local people are taking while being interviewed online or in person. Arrests and killings continue in the background of @CNN visit.
Today, we reported to Congress the PRC's continued dismantling of Hong Kong’s freedoms, democratic institutions, and high degree of autonomy. The United States calls on the PRC to reverse course and uphold its international obligations and commitments. #StandWithHongKong.
South Dagon township’s situation is very worst now.
Now 70+ deads and 40 injuries in this township.
Brutal Burmese Soldiers shot with machine guns and heavy guns.
Burmese Hell Day is now.
Pls help UN and Internationals.

Terrorist organisation SAC, military junta threw a lavish dinner party Saturday while his gunmen shot dead 114 unarmed civilians and 10,000 Karen villagers have been forced to fled their villages to neighbouring Thailand after SAC carried out airstrikes.UNSC must act now.
After 2 months of the coup, 510 killed & 2574 are behind bars. Many of them are students who should be pursuing their dreams but instead, they have to fight for democracy & gave up their lives. 2 months of heartbreak & trauma inflicted upon us by the Burmese military.
The United States stands with our ally, the Philippines, in the face of the PRC's maritime militia amassing at WhitsunReef. We will always stand by our allies and stand up for the rules-based international order.
MAL and the military celebrate their Armed Forces Day by arresting & killing protesters & bystanders in at least 21 cities. The death toll is rising as I write this. This came a day after the military warned on state tv to shoot anyone opposing the coup in the head & back.
Everyone should be created equal, and people are entitled to fight against injustice. We #StandWithMyanmar because we believe democracy is for all, and we should live in a society that respects everyone.
Be Water, my friend. Stay safe.

Myanmar police and soldiers are total national disgrace. We know there is ongoing global debate on #PoliceBrutality. But here in Myanmar, we are seeing an almost-next level uncivilized people.
