Junta loyalists gathered today in a staged protest in support of the coup d'état.
They proceeded to attack pro-democracy protestors, journalists, and random pedestrians with rocks and knives. Police stood by allowing the violence. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar#Feb25Coup
How many of us can imagine starting our day by writing our blood type on our arm? That's what protesters across Myanmar did on Monday. Why? Because the junta had threatened them. They weren't intimidated. They were prepared. And that's why they, and their courage, will prevail.
The people of Myanmar appreciate words of support. But they need action more. Today 137 NGOs from around the world called for a global arms embargo. The UN Security Council should heed their call because it will make a difference AND because action speaks much louder than words.
Just as their democracy was attacked by thugs armed w tanks, coup protesters are being attacked by pro-junta thugs armed with sticks & knives. They, and all of Myanmar, deserve justice & a world that is on their side. The UN should make clear that it is.
A Japanese reporter was arrested while taking photos of a protest today. This is not acceptable. Media must be free and ethical way.
