Myanmar’s junta leader says Daw Aung San Suu Kyi will soon appear for trial. Asked about her performance, he says “she tried all she could”. He again makes clear Myanmar will not follow @ASEAN ‘consensus’ yet. From Phoenix TV #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
The recent G7 commitment to prevent arms transfers & technical cooperation w Myanmar is a welcome step coming 10 days after Min Aung Hlaing broke his ASEAN commitment to a cessation of violence. I urge others to join & help build global momentum for accountability through action.
At the @ASEAN Leaders’ Meeting in Jakarta tdy, we shared our views directly with Myanmar’s Senior General Min Aung Hlaing. Our dialogue is just one step, but a key one. We hope that a durable & peaceful political solution can be found soon. – LHL

As the Myanmar junta refuses to receive the UN envoy, the UN Secretary-General hopes the UN Security Council can achieve "an end to the violence," "restoration of human rights," "release of all those...detained" and "restoration" of the elected government. https://t.co/Q6HtPx3MKk
As the military crackdown intensifies in Myanmar, CNN’s @clarissaward reports on the ground with the permission of the military as the team are being escorted throughout. https://t.co/YM4O587MwC
@clarissaward with regards to the fire today, they won't provide any cctv footage or whatsoever as there will be no ordinary civilian during curfew, period.
The Myanmar military is making it harder for people to report on its mounting atrocities. In addition to the nightly nationwide internet shutdown, the junta is now also blocking mobile networks during the day, which most people rely on for internet access. https://t.co/87pHPquSdw
