Genuine solidarity is neither charity nor pity. True empathy occurs when two hearts meet, and I begin to see our struggles as intertwined.

UK should be sanctioning the Burmese military, not discussing trade with them. The British government ministers are now willing to host a Burmese military representative, be pictured smiling with him, even as they bomb, kill and rape innocent civilians.

The CSO Working Group on Independent National Human Rights Institutions (#Myanmar) (Working Group) today welcomes the South East Asia National Human Rights Institutions Forum's (SEANF) decision to expel the Myanmar National Human Rights Commission (MNHRC), effective 1 Oct 2026.
According to @KantarawaddyTim, junta’s indiscriminate attacks killed at least 49 civilians in Karenni State between Jan-Sep 2026.
Every airstrike runs on aviation fuel.
@ASEAN & intl community:
✅ Ban aviation fuel exports
✅ Impose global arms embargo

SEANF’s decision was “a long-awaited principled action” and “strips the criminal military junta-controlled MNHRC of regional legitimacy.”
“This decision sends a clear message that this body can no longer hide behind a SEANF membership card,”

@PVamplify
🚨PM @anwaribrahim's overtures risk encouraging other @ASEAN member states to lend further false legitimacy to illegal junta.
Malaysia must:
✅Halt all deportations to #Myanmar
✅Grant @Refugees access to MMR nationals
✅Provide temporary legal status

The illegal junta’s commission #MNHRC has no place in a regional human rights institution. Now #SEANF has made it official.
👏We welcome this principled decision, long called for by @WG_MMNHRI.
@ASEAN must deny the junta & its institutions any platform. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

"Yet #solidarity ✊ is not a given. Some groups stand firm, while others hide behind so-called “neutrality,” an easy position that avoids criticism but fails to confront #injustice, and one I find unprincipled."
