We are devastated by news . Th executions of political activists Phyo Zeya Thaw, Ko Jimmy, Hla Myo Aung and Aung Thura Zaw are #CrimesAgainstHumanity.They were murdered by the military regime. Min Aung Hlaing and his fellows must be punished by the world.
I'm devastated by news that former parliamentarian Zeyar Thaw and longtime activist Ko Jimmy were executed with two others today. UN Member States must honor their lives by making this depraved act a turning point for the world's response to this crisis. My statement attached.
Mandalay pro-democracy monks continued their regular anti-dictatorship photo campaign entitled "The execution by silently hanging in a country without a president is murder inside prison" on July 25.
