Indeed.
I hope @LiechtensteinUN & others will provide the leadership needed in the #UN to ensure the establishment of an #IIIM -similar to the existing accountability mechanism for #Syria– to advance & assist criminal prosecutions of those responsible for atrocities in #Myanmar. https://t.co/UEtmlrHudz— Lotte Leicht (@LotteLeicht1) 25.

„They cannot destroy us. I’ll always be a journalist.“ Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo, our brave @Reuters colleagues, have now spent over EIGHT MONTHS in a Myanmar jail. The court gives its verdict on Monday. Please share this video and link: https://t.co/e65YeO79eK #FreeWaLoneKyawSoeOo pic.twitter.com/BcrgbHXMxG

One year ago, Myanmar woke to news that Rohingya had attacked police posts across northern Rakhine. The army turned it into a war zone, laying waste to hundreds of villages, forcing 100,000s to run for their lives. It was the beginning of an exile that still has no end in sight.

Tomorrow is one year on from when the Burmese military began it’s planned massacre on #Rohingya civilians. Time for the UK to take a stand and refer them to the ICC #r2p #protectcivilians https://t.co/n8l2bojpJm

TAKE ACTION: Sign our petition now calling on Theresa May to turn her words into action. It’s time for the UK to take a stand and support referring Burma to the International Criminal Court.

„Absent preventive efforts, those few #Rohingya remaining in #Burma as well as other ethnic minorities in the country, including the Kachin, Shan, and others, will continue to be targeted by the Burmese military.“
