⚠️ Update: As #Iran wakes up to a new day, metrics show the national internet blackout is past the 84 hour mark.

Years of digital censorship research point to these workarounds:

📻 Shortwave/HAM radio
📶 Cell towers at borders
📡 Starlink terminals

From elderly people to first-time voters, they cast their ballots to choose a government they believed would make their lives and country better while cementing #Myanmar’s fledgling #democracy.

muslim and arab (especially palestinian) colleagues in the tech community i've spoken with feel uncomfortable speaking about their recent experiences, often out of fear of retaliation and damaged career prospects.

our industry should be united in our support of these colleagues; it is an atrocious time. i continue to hope for a real and lasting peace, and that in the meantime we can treat each other with empathy.

I am not satisfied with the updates on #Myanmar that I have been receiving through the ASEAN system, because the actual situation (clashes; people killed, arrested or displaced, etc) is very bad.

[UN Special Rapporteur Tom Andrews @RapporteurUn]

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.

Deteriorating situation in Myanmar demands application of R2P principle & we have asked decisive collective action from UNSC. How many more innocent lives have to be sacrificed to get such action. Live up with their commitments & promises

📣 We join 242 Burmese diaspora, CBOs & CSOs in calling on members of the US Congress to stand in solidarity with the people of Burma and co-sponsor the BURMA Act of 2021 to end the junta’s campaign of violence and cycle of impunity 👉🏽 https://t.co/e6pii35u2X #BurmaBill #Myanmar

[Thant Myint-U @thantmyintu]

New Burma bill seeks inter alia more targeted sanctions (including possibly on state oil/gas company), Rohingya genocide determination, expanded humanitarian assistance, and tougher UN action (which if via Security Council would mean working with Russia/China)

[House Foreign Affairs Committee Dems @HouseForeign]

Today, @RepGregoryMeeks introduced the “Burma Unified through Rigorous Military Accountability Act of 2021” or BURMA Act with @RepSteveChabot & @SenatorCardin to support & protect the Burmese people and send a clear signal to the Burmese military.

The bill:

Dozens of of military Facebook pages remain, promoting products which help fund the military and the crimes they commit. Sign our petition to @nickclegg asking him to remove all military Facebook pages. https://t.co/9POycTm5vE

Yet another horrific milestone in Myanmar: AAPP reports that more than 1,000 people have now been confirmed killed by junta forces. 5,736 are in detention. US Amb. DeLaurentis was right when he told the UNSC: "What are we waiting for? The longer we delay, the more people die."

[Helene Storm @DKAmbMyanmar]

On 8.8.1988 the brave people of #Myanmar called for an end to military rule. 33 years later they are pursuing the same objective. Their sufferings are tremendous. We stand by their determined efforts to restore democracy ⁦@udviklingsmin⁩ ⁦⁦#whatshappeninginmyanmar

[Secretary Antony Blinken @SecBlinken]

Today we remember the 8888 pro-democracy movement and the people of Burma's decades-long struggle for democracy and peace. The United States continues to support those in Burma calling for their human rights and fundamental freedoms to be respected.
