Statement by @hrw on today's violence by #Tatmadaw & police in #Burma: "The #Myanmar security forces’ clear escalation in use of lethal force -- in multiple towns & cities across the country in response to mostly peaceful anti-coup protesters -- is outrageous & unacceptable..."
"...and must be immediately halted. Live ammunition should not be used to control or disperse protests and lethal force can only be used to protect life or prevent serious injury.."/2 @pomyanmar @MOFAMyanmar @myanmar_moi @UNinMyanmar

"Emergency medical assistants treating wounded demonstrators at protest sites have also been targeted for arrest in deliberate attempts to intimidate anyone attempting to assist pro-democracy protesters."/5 #SaveMyanmar #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar #Yangon #Burma #Myanmar #Dawei
"Security forces are also engaged in a widening pattern of arrests, detaining scores with each passing hour. The military junta’s broad nation-wide restrictions against public protests, and banning of any assembly of more than five persons, blatantly violates basic rights..."/6
"...to peaceful, public assembly and must be urgently rescinded. Security forces must respect and protect the right to peacefully protest."/7 #SaveMyanmar #WhatsHappeninginMyanmar
"The world is watching the actions of the #Myanmar military junta, and will hold them accountable" says @hrw. /END
