Dear All, Due to General Min Aung Hlaing's tyranny, Myanmar is like a lost puppy, which needs protection by the NGO community. Myanmar has one of the worst human rights records in the world; due to Min Aung Hlaing's tyranny. Injustice, police violence, rape, torture, murder and abductions are escalating in Myanmar; due to the tyranny of the evildoer Min Aung Hlaing and his henchmen. A tragic testament of Myanmar’s ongoing military repression and impunity, the military coup in 2021 has driven Myanmar into an abyss of tyranny, torture and torment. UN Chief António Guterres has demanded that the Myanmar junta immediately returns to democracy, saying it was the only way to stop the unending nightmare engulfing the country. On 1 February 2021, President Win Myint and State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi were detained, along with ministers and members of Parliament, by Gen. Min Aung Hlaing – a blatant violation of International Law and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Since the coup, more than 1,500 people have been killed, and at least 11,838 people have been arrested in military crackdowns, according to the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners. Detainees have been subjected to torture and mistreatment, including beatings, gender-based violence and prolonged stress positions. The International Community has implemented coordinated sanctions against Myanmar officials - including Mr Thida Oo and Mr Tun Tun Oo - who are responsible for the persecution and unlawful imprisonment of Aung San Suu Kyi; having sentenced Myanmar's leader to an additional seven years of prison time. The trial was a blatant travesty of justice, brought about by bogus charges from Min Aung Hlaing. Min Aung Hlaing and the Burmese military must release all detainees, relinquish the power they have illegally seized and recognize the duly elected parliament from 2021 - so that Rule of Law, Justice and Democracy can be restored in Myanmar. The International Community is advised to keep a safe distance from the military dictatorship in Myanmar, until the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) has been restored in Myanmar. In the meantime domestic policy, foreign policy and human rights issues concerning Myanmar will be handled by the NGO BTB-Global Peacebuilding.
