Thread by @JudithBeyer

THREAD 20 of writing against the 🪖-coup. Because people in #Myanmar need to be heard & the @IntlCrimCourt should know #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar. As the #CivilDisobedienceMovementMyanmar is getting stronger, all people on this list sacrificed their lives for #democracy #March2Coup

1. While #FB has partially banned top military accounts and pages (not the businesses), @TikTokSupport needs to immediately react and block the hundreds of accounts by 🪖promoting hate speech and inciting violence there

2. Not only in #Mandalay and #Monywa but also in smaller places people have begun to install self-governing bodies. This is exactly what the #military fears and why they keep kidnapping low- and mid-level state personnel at night: self-governance is powerful! #March2Coup #Myanmar

3. I keep getting asked by reporters “why do people keep going back to the streets even if they can get shot?” - this is why, acc to @eintsandiaung #WhatsHappeninglnMyanmar #March2Coup #RejectMyanmarMilitaryCoup

4. @JusticeMyanmar reiterated need for a global arms embargo and urged companies who sold digital technology that is misused now,incl companies from #EU @EU_Commission @coe to disable access, block software and deny support #WhatsHappeninglnMyanmar #March2Coup #RejectMilitaryCoup

5. People are not stranded - they are protesting in the water! Here: #Monywa March1 - photo by @MizzimaNews Let’s not forget that we have seen many such photos of #Rohingya fleeing their country in the last years. All people of #Myanmar deserve to be safe and live in #democracy

6. Yeah, right. Wonder what these “specific projects” may be: “The senior officials from respective ministries also discussed on signing MoUs for their specific projects”. Also: SHAME on the Government of #India for doing business with 🪖and signing #MoUs! moi.gov.mm/moi:eng/news/2…

7. People are scared to death. This is terrorism. Nobody is safe any more - not even in their own homes. Please act now @ASEAN @RapporteurUn @SchranerBurgen1 @UN @EU_Commission @coe @bundesrat @GrueneBundestag @spdbt @Linksfraktion #WhatIsHappeningInMyanmar #March2Coup

8. The 🪖 was always there. Ever since I set foot into #Myanmar (2009) they were there. In barracks, in #Rakhine, in #Kachin, in 25% of parliaments, in businesses. But now they are unleashed. They March through the cities and towns like aliens - they know they don’t belong there.

9. I agree with this (@SoupNotCoup). I also think that all attention now needs to be on getting #democracy back - as faulty as it was. Only then will there be a chance to amend the constitution and implement federalism in line with true ethno-religious equality. #March2Coup

10. I think that things are changing for the better: I see these messages in English and Myanma popping up more frequently. I am a radical optimist: yes, people “could have” / “should have” when the #Rohingya were murdered. They did not then, but now they do. Let’s focus on that.

11. My friend and colleague, Dr. Jella Fink, on the situation in #Myanmar (in German): "Die Sicherheitskräfte schützen die Demonstrierenden nicht mehr. Die Menschen müssen sich selbst schützen" deutschlandfunknova.de/beitrag/myanma… #WhatsHappeninglnMyanmar

12. Colleagues from #YangonUniversity declare autonomy (in light of the fact that a new Rector has been appointed today) ရန်ကုန်တက္ကသိုလ်သည် ကိုယ်ပိုင်အုပ်ချုပ်ခွင့်ရ autonomous university ဖြစ်သည်။ ဆရာ/မများ ကျောင်းသား/သူများ လက်မခံသော သူ မည်သူမျှ အုပ်ချုပ်ခွင့်မရှိ။ #March2Coup

13. Today, Prof. Arker Moe Thu was arrested at gun point. He is the President of the Teachers' Union and helped coordinate the #CivilDisobedienceMovementMyanmar across #university campuses in #Yangon. #YangonUniversity is still on general strike ✊

14. I am proud to have been collaborating with these brave professors & teachers in #Anthropology #YangonUniversity for the last 6 years. I will support them now in their boycott of military-appointed "heads" #CivilDisobedienceMovementMyanmar #March2Coup #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

15. FB seems to think I am a soldier since I have been watching 🪖-coup videos for a month now. So it is inserting ads for men‘s leather boots into my feed. Thank you - I’ll pass! #CivilDisobedienceMovementMyanmar #WhatsHappeninglnMyanmar #March2Coup

16. My colleague Felix Hessler will speak about the situation in #Myanmar at 7.22pm CET today (in 30min). Please watch him on @3sat 3sat.de/programm/3sat-… (in German) #CivilDisobedienceMovementMyanmar #WhatsHappeninglnMyanmar

17. And at 7.30pm CET #ARDAlpha 's #AlphaDemokratie interviewed me for a 30min-special on #Myanmar. We recorded already last Friday and the situation has escalated immensely, but I hope my message still comes across. #WhatsHappeningInMaynmar #March2Coup ardmediathek.de/alpha/live/Y3J…

18. here‘s the German TV special on #Myanmar during which I was interviewed. I spoke about country’s difficult past, lack of a true postcolonial turn, #Rohingya and #ethnicity & importance of youth and necessity to support #CivilDisobedienceMovementMyanmar br.de/mediathek/vide…
