Today I will tell the UNGA: (1) all must deny the junta the money, weapons & legitimacy it needs, (2) an even greater human rights catastrophe looms as more junta troops deploy to the northwest, and (3) the people of Myanmar believe no one cares. 3pm EDT @ https://t.co/sse2c38Ytg
As some #Myanmar families celebrate loved ones returning from prison today, others are suffering staggering losses. @IrrawaddyNews reports on a student tortured to death, they say, by soldiers using
“racially and religiously offensive language.” https://t.co/EqUpf6wD6f
Here is a translation of my tweet that now, more than ever, denying the junta money, weapons, and legitimacy is the best way the international community can support the people of Myanmar.
Gunshots are recorded on Tuesday Morning in Mandalay. Locals think it is gunfights between military and local defence force however it is still unconfirmed. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar#June22Coup
The Myanmar junta's forces backed by armoured vehicles clashed with a newly formed militia group in the second-biggest city of Mandalay, according to social media posts from the group and media reports. https://t.co/oywP1rOGxR #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
Rising concerns in #Mandalay#Myanmar as more #military armoured vehicles seen on the streets. Citizens fear this may signal a potential increase in violent clashes or the onset of further security clampdown on residents and the civilian defence force #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
Elected Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy party will be dissolved by the junta-appointed electoral commission for "electoral fraud", reports @Myanmar_Now_Eng#WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
The toll of people killed by Myanmar junta forces reaches 818 since the coup, says @aapp_burma. Two of those recorded killed yesterday were in Demoso - near to where fighters say heavy losses were inflicted on police and army today. https://t.co/RiXNrzhtcp
A new blow has been struck against the Myanmar junta. The US has sanctioned the SAC itself, not just individuals. AND, those who continue to do business with them can now also face sanctions. I now urge that the next step be taken: turn off the junta's oil & gas revenue spigot.
While armed clashes have increased in parts of Myanmar, in many places opposition to the junta is being shown daily through peaceful protests #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
