Am told many areas in #Yangon#Myanmar unable to access data via mobile services. Different screens show various Telcos with low or no signals. Many reliant on home WiFi now. During protests, many have been streaming live videos of violence from ground #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
How many more need to die before the world acts? Picture: a mother waits, food on table, for her son/daughter to return home safely from protest, but the caption reads: "I cannot come back, Mother." 😥

#Myanmar has called friends from ASEAN, Hong Kong & Taiwan to mobilize #MilkTeaAlliance on 28 February 2021 after the unofficial meeting of Myanmar Junta envoy with Prayut Chan-o-cha. Let's pressure ASEAN leaders to recognize the 2020 Myanmar General Election results.
Deeply concerned w an ominous public warning by the junta that protesters are "inciting the people" to "a confrontation path where they will suffer the loss of life". Warning to the junta: Unlike 1988, actions by security forces are being recorded & you will be held accountable.
Breaking: no longer an internal affair. Myanmar security forces violently crackdown on protesters, as 2 dead and about 30 wounded today in #Mandalay, as the world watches. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
#Myanmar citizens sending me pictures of people out in their #Yangon neighbourhoods telling me they're watching out for/warning each other in community in case police/#military comes around to detain individuals. Pics of scene now sent to me for use #WhatIsHappeningInMyanmar
Chose a starry black image to depict fallen heroes in fight for justice and democracy. In memory of Mya Thwet Thwet Khine, protester who succumbed to her bullet wound, shot by the police during a violent crackdown in Nay Pyi Taw, Myanmar. She was just 19. #NewProfilePic
Many in #Myanmar#Kachin#Myitkyina voicing concerns of crackdown by police/soldiers as citizens protested against #militarycoup. Pics sent to me for use. Many say few/no media coverage as police are reportedly threatening journalists #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
This is fucking unacceptable. The military is dropping of thugs in different neighborhoods to cause trouble. This was 15 mins ago in my street in Yankin. Fuck this coup and everyone involved in putting fear into people so they can rule.
