This is from @adidas website:
"Workers must have access to effective communication channels with their employers and managers... as a means of exercising their social and economic rights"

But 73 days into the #myanmarmilitarycoup, and @adidas has made no concerted effort to assure the public or their workers as to whether they are actually committed to making sure their workers are guaranteed this access they tout on their corporate website. Image
@adidas did not issue a statement after the bloody garment district crackdown Mar 14.

And they haven't troubled themselves to issue ANY statements in Burmese language for their customers or workers. Their Myanmar store's FB page has also been largely silent.

THREAD - HATE THE SYSTEM NOT THE 'THUGS'

I interviewed one of the regime's so-called "thugs" in 2011.

He was a Kachin teenager who had gotten into a drunken fight in Myitkyina and was then sentenced to prison.

#Myanmar #Myanmarcoup #myanmarmilitarycoup #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
In 2011, while the Myanmar Army was struggling to fight combined forces of KNU, DKBA and KNU/KNLA-PC...

...the military government began transporting prisoners from across the country to the southeast so they could be forced to porter military equipment. hrw.org/report/2011/07…
He was one of these prisoners. He was hit by a DKBA bullet in the shoulder and hip, before managing to flee across enemy lines and give himself up.

They realised he was not the enemy and so he was allowed to live. He eventually found his way to Mae Tao clinic, Mae Sot, Thailand

People are running around the whole city to protect people from Military kidnapping .But it is not like what they say. A kidnap group consist of 3 or 4 people. Those people might somehow related to prisoners released today.

They run around the buildings and no purpose of kidnapping .Their true intention might be to make protesters restless or to become civil unrest at night. It can be some kind of threat to CDM public service men to resume his duties. They came back 3 times to my quarter in two hrs
Military is doing what they like to pubic .It could lead to mental disorder to kids and senior citizen. International need to aware of this event and need to give protection to Burmese citizen ASAP.

#Birmanie Ce qu'il faut savoir sur le coup d'Etat (thread) ⬇️
C'est toute la stratégie d'engagement européenne et américaine 🇪🇺🇺🇸 qui vole en éclats - très peu de sanctions malgré le massacre des Rohingyas.

C'est aussi le pari d'Aung San Suu Kyi et ses renoncements qui s'écroule.
Min Aung Hlaing, le chef de l'armée birmane, avait annoncé qu'il respecterait les résultats des élections.

2 mois plus tard, coup d'Etat. La valeur de la parole de l'armée... Image
