This is another inhumane and barbaric act of Myanmar military. Military leadership are accountable, must be brought to justice, ICC, international tribunal.
The international community must act decisively now.
Military dictatorship must end now.
Democracy & justice must prevail.
It’s a difficult battle because international community is hesitant to do the right things. We will fight for our own struggle. But you have to
- stop recognizing SAC by any means
- stop giving money to them to terrorize the people
- stop selling weapons to kill the people.
Today the #Taliban and #Myanmar’s military junta will try to get their diplomats accredited to sit in the UN General Assembly. But sovereignty entails responsibility & neither ruling clique has demonstrated any commitment to human rights or UN Charter.

10 months since 1 Feb coup, #Myanmar’s military has killed 1300 civilians, arrested 10,596, burned down villages & destroyed the economy. Time for #ASEAN & UN Security Council to 1️⃣ impose sanctions 2️⃣ arms embargo 3️⃣ recognize National Unity Government.

Before and After the Coup,
SAC is destroying not only cities but also people’s lives and their homes. For people who live in hilly regions, their houses are all they have. It took years to build up a place where your family calls ‘home’. It’s heartbreaking.
