“Bombing schools, attacking religious buildings, intentionally arresting and torturing innocent people, and using youths as human shields are happening right now in some parts of the world. Similar incidents akin to these are also happening every day in Burma. These incidents in Burma are being committed by the military junta led by Min Aung Hlaing, which labeled itself as the State Security and Peace Commission. This is a war crime. And, this is a crime against humanity. There are countries that are showing support for these crimes and provide political and weapons support to the killing of innocent people, and at the same time, countries that do not support them and impose sanctions as punishment. The United Nations and international community need to send a strong message and take practical action against the junta leaders, perpetrators of the coup in Burma, who have committed international crimes.” Ko Bo Kyi, Joint Secretary of AAPP
