Yesterday the UN Security Council was told in a private session that the crisis in Myanmar continues to worsen. No action was taken. I urge them to reconvene in a public session to consider and vote on an emergency measure to cut the illegal junta's access to revenue and weapons.
Good news - the UK announced sanctions against junta linked tycoon U Tay Za. Looking forward to welcoming great news - when governments strategically coordinate their economic sanctions and arms embargoes against the junta so that they work together as a powerful whole.
Nuclear tests have caused enormous environmental damage and terrible consequences on the health of people living in affected areas.
It's time to outlaw all nuclear tests, by anyone, anywhere.
There is no excuse to delay achieving this goal.
Yet another horrific milestone in Myanmar: AAPP reports that more than 1,000 people have now been confirmed killed by junta forces. 5,736 are in detention. US Amb. DeLaurentis was right when he told the UNSC: "What are we waiting for? The longer we delay, the more people die."
"APHR said it had 'legitimate concerns' about the appointment of Erywan Yusof as ASEAN's Special Envoy to #Myanmar
They criticized Erywan for meeting only with junta leaders in June and “pushing their narrative” of holding new elections." @VOANews

The @ASEAN Special Envoy to #Myanmar must engage with true representatives of the Myanmar people, starting with the @NUGMyanmar. If he continues to engage only with the junta, he will be taken for a ride.

Courageous health care workers fight the ravages of Covid in Myanmar while the junta fights them - hundreds arrested while even more evade outstanding arrest warrants, 7 medics murdered according to AAPP. You can't attack a pandemic AND health care professionals at the same time.
"We can't breathe!" Children in #Myanmar face the combined threat of the coup & a catastrophic wave of #COVID19 infections. Not even children are safe from arrest, detention or death as a result of #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
“We urge the relevant authorities to resolve the situation peacefully and respect the basic right to proper healthcare for all those detained,” say Western ambassadors to Myanmar after prison protest. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
Been a while but the banging of the pots & pans are back in #Yangon as #Myanmar citizens show solidarity with detainees who staged a revolt in #Insein Prison today. They all risk getting into trouble with #military but shows their messaging more important #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
