We are so saddened to hear that our friend U Kyaw Hla Aung passed away earlier today. Over the years, in spite of persecution and imprisonment, he was a determined leader and a prominent voice for the rights of the #Rohingya.

I welcome sanctions the EU imposed today on Myanmar state-owned gem and timber enterprises and an organization providing support to the Tatmadaw. Myanmar Oil & Gas should be next and all global sanctions should be linked into a powerful whole for maximum leverage on the junta.

New report by @hrw about #Bangladesh's rights abusing treatment of #Rohingya refugees on #BhasanChar island. Failure to provide adequate health & education services, or sufficient food is appalling. Refugees should be given freedom of movement, including right to return to CXB!

According to a UN Fact-Finding Mission, General Min Aung Hlaing previously had command responsibility for war crimes, crimes against humanity & the 2017 #Rohingya genocide. The military junta he now leads should receive no diplomatic recognition from any UN member state.

Maybe I shouldn't focus on "tankies" invading the Myanmar debate when we already have fine connoisseurs of the art coming out of the woodwork whenever we mention genuine representation for Rohingya.

Gunfights in a conflict zone are a matter of public interest and police should not dictate what reporters can or cannot report on. The police chief's remarks are "yet another attempt to control the narrative around Kashmir and the press." - @aliyazeba voanews.com/press-freedom/ke…
