One year after the coup in Burma, I met brave activists who struggle against the Burmese military regime to return their country to a democratic transition. I listened to their stories and shared how we’re working to restore Burma’s path to democracy.

[Boris Johnson @BorisJohnson]

A year ago the military junta seized power in Myanmar, trampling upon democracy.

The UK stands with the people of Myanmar in the face of brutal military violence, a humanitarian crisis, and the detention of political opponents.

Freedom and democracy must be restored.

[May Wong @MayWongST]

The more threats #Myanmar #military makes, more defiant citizens become. Citizens mark 1 year of #coup by staging #SilentStrike but as military warns businesses to stay open or risk arrest, some do so by selling 1 item or just putting paper on opened shop #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

[Christine Schraner Burgener @SchranerBurgen1]

Today is a sad day. My concerns for Myanmar have increased since 1.2.21 and my thoughts are with the people of Myanmar who have suffered under the military for decades before. I pray that your voice will be heard. I miss you, my dear friends!

Military detains medical staff, "taken at clinics, protests or from their homes during night raids.
Some are released after questioning, others are less fortunate," their bodies returned "with torture marks."

Every few days, the Myanmar junta detains more medical staff, "taken at clinics, protests or from their homes during night raids. Some are released after questioning, others are less fortunate," their bodies returned "with torture marks." https://t.co/ikHmMUU2Kf

Over 700 lives have been lost in 70 days.
Begging the world for help.

I saw this image earlier today and can't stop thinking about it. So many young lives have been lost in Myanmar. Many of the 702 victims are young teenagers. But they're still on the streets and on social media protesting the military and begging for stronger international action.

[Frank @W_Lwin]

@amendelson_ Thank you very much for your time and efforts to let the world know what's happening in Myanmar.

[Frank @W_Lwin]

The Burmese military has blacked out the internet. By cutting people off from the outside world, the military seeks to conceal its terrible actions, stifle protest & unleash more horrors w/ impunity.

[Ambassador Mike Waltz @USAmbUN]

Will we allow the military to destabilize the region, plunging Burma into further violence and chaos? 

Or will we hear the calls of the Burmese people, and help them achieve the free, democratic, and peaceful country they deserve?

To me, the answer is clear. We must act.

Human rights organisation @aapp_burma says at least 80 people were killed in the central city of Bago on Friday. Witnesses say troops used automatic weapons and grenades on people who were protesting against the military. More than 80 lives in one day.

The collapse of industry and violent clampdowns have sent many in Yangon's working class back to their ancestral villages, were little but destitution awaits them. In this and other ways, Myanmar is inching towards a large-scale humanitarian crisis.

Now #Myanmar military junta evidently wants to re-start using the death penalty after a moratorium that has lasted for years. How much further can the #Tatmdaw drag the situation in #Burma back into darkness? #SaveMyanmar #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
