„For #Myanmar’s army, the campaign of atrocity it has waged to drive hundreds of thousands of ethnic #Rohingya Muslims out of the country is no innovation“
It has a long history of murdering civilians, torturing & executing prisoners and rape w/ impunity. https://t.co/Xh6SH0Y1ml

„We know that Myanmar simply will not act without external pressure—not on consent for repatriation, and not on the guarantees the Rohingya need regarding their future security, citizenship and economic viability.“ @EmilyThornberry yesterday in Parliament https://t.co/QIMqDuxq3T

Aung San Suu Kyi wouldn’t even discuss the two Reuters journalists being prosecuted for investigating Burmese army’s execution of Rohingya. What kind of „moral leadership“ is that?

Good piece on #Cambodia environmental rights defenders Hun Vannak and Dem Kundy who are facing trial today for exposing sand smuggling activities. HRDs at increasing risk in the lead up to elections. @EnviroDefenders @cchrcambodia @licadho https://t.co/9uKml2nkp3

„This is a major humanitarian crisis created by Burma’s military. There has been ethnic cleansing and those responsible must be held accountable.“ @AlistairBurtUK in yesterday’s debate in Parliament. https://t.co/2ucFabQpkq 

A good way of holding them accountable would be the ICC

“I hope this will be a wake-up call for her [#AungSanSuuKyi],“ Bill Richardson said of his resignation. “But I sort of doubt it. I think she has added me to her enemy list, which includes the #UN, the int’l media, human rights groups, #Nobel laureates.” https://t.co/jzGUfp9sKj

#AungSanSuuKyi „has developed an arrogance of power … she basically is unwilling to listen to bad news, and I don’t want to be part of a whitewash.”

Before the NLD came into power in #Myanmar there was hope they would repeal oppressive colonial era laws under which many of their members and supporters were jailed. This is the centerfold in state media this morning. pic.twitter.com/KTZ1xkVLa6

This is significant. Myint Swe is the General who crushed Saffron. He also oversaw the arrests of former leaders Ne Win and Khin Nyunt. He was appointed as Vice President directly by the army not ASSK. https://t.co/36GJFU3Yvt
