An explosion of COVID, collapse of the healthcare system and mistrust of the junta - a perfect storm costing many lives in Myanmar. I'm calling on the int'l community to facilitate a non-junta, non-political body to coordinate a COVID response initiative.https://t.co/09giibhMu0
Heartbreaking pictures of the dead lined up in Yangon as COVID sweeps through Myanmar. The junta’s health ministry gave a daily death toll of 165, but medics think the real number is much higher #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

The Karen Peace Support Network has released an important new report on escalating military attacks in Karen State causing dozens of casualties, 70,000 people displaced in Mutraw District & a humanitarian crisis. This horror must stop & aid delivered. Now https://t.co/9kNhRU7Gmu
It's hard to believe that the Myanmar junta will give Aung San Suu Kyi a fair trial when her lawyers haven't been able to meet with her in private until this week, and then only for half an hour. Meanwhile, the junta keeps piling on concocted charges. https://t.co/BMWKuKq53Y
Western governments still haven't pressed for the measures that could cripple the Myanmar junta: an arms embargo from the UN Security Council, and cutting off the hundreds of millions of dollars flowing into Myanmar state accounts from oil and gas exports. https://t.co/wnCmGFK3GW
It is time to finally hold #Myanmar’s generals accountable for their crimes against humanity. #ASEAN states should:
1⃣ Suspend Myanmar from ASEAN
2⃣Diplomatically recognize the @NUGMyanmar
3⃣Impose an arms embargo & targeted sanctions on the junta.

Myanmar’s military junta "handed down prison sentences against a headmistress, a reporter, a student leader and a National League for Democracy township member on incitement charges." Incitement of what? Democracy?https://t.co/3lFqbkzPet
