Mary Lawlor, SR on human rights defenders, has joined the call for an Emergency Coalition for the People of Myanmar. Women human rights defenders are at particular risk. Often assaulted when arrested, they face torture & sexual violence when sent to prison.news.un.org/en/story/2021/…
Very concerned for Dr Htar Htar Linn who has been infected with Covid while in prison. She is an expert on vaccines & epidemiology whose knowledge would be invaluable in a crisis like this. Instead, the military arrested her & many other medical professionals who oppose the coup.
Myanmar can’t breathe. Pleas for oxygen and support for loved ones continues to flood social media accounts while the junta turns a blind eye. It is not the pandemic killing people - it is Min Aung Hlaing.
