    Video from @rahaf84427714 just sent from her hotel room at the #Bangkok airport. She has barricaded herself in the room & says she will not leave until she is able to see #UNHCR. Why is #Thailand not letting @Refugees see her for refugee status determination? @hrw #SaveRahaf

    What does @ASEAN stand for regarding #Myanmar? Now we have the answer: it's Association of Sitting, Eating, Announcing and Nothing (#ASEAN). Meanwhile #Tatmadaw still shooting. Former #Indonesia AG Marzuki Darusman demands ASEAN end its inaction now! @hrw bangkokpost.com/opinion/opinio…

    #India should refuse this #Myanmar military junta request, & allow these Burmese police officers to seek asylum if that is what they want. Under no circumstances should they be sent back into harm's way in #Burma.

    Actions by police & #Tatmadaw security forces today in #Yangon & #Dawei mark a serious escalation in use of lethal force, & must stop! People have the right to protest & demand their rights, & call for #Myanmar military coup gov't to step down #SaveMyanmar myanmar-now.org/en/news/junta-…

    “The shameful, cowardly, brutal actions of the military and police – who have been filmed shooting at protesters as they flee, and who have not even spared young children – must be halted immediately" says top UN officials. @OHCHRAsia #SaveMyanmar #Myanmar un.org/sg/en/content/…

    #Myanmar military demands "stability" before they let any @ASEAN Special Envoy into the country to discuss "suggestions" from meeting organized by @Asean2021_BN. At this rate, #Tatmadaw will make sure there is no left standing to talk to. Junta buying time from #ASEAN! @hrw

    Why is it when UN Special Envoy @SchranerBurgen1 arrives in #Bangkok after having 2 #Covid19 vaccine shots, she is put in 7 day quarantine, but when #Myanmar military junta rep Wunna Maung Lwin visited, he met @prayutofficial & @MFAThai FM Don on same day? thethaiger.com/news/national/…

    The people of #Burma should know that when it comes to UN Security Council inaction on #Myanmar's military coup -- these are the villains stopping any action. Russia, China, India, & Vietnam. @mfa_russia @MFA_China @PMOIndia @MOFAVietNam #SaveMyanmar
