#Myanmar victims and civil society are suing Telenor for sharing call logs and location data with the illegal Myanmar military junta. The junta used this data to detain, torture and kill activists. Data was then handed to the crony conglomerate Shwe Byain Phyu in Telenor's irresponsible 2022 sale.

Latest junta airstrike kills 40 civilians & injures 80

States that back sham elections run by the same depraved & reviled military in hopes of neatly resolving the crisis it created or bringing a ‘return to normalcy’ in #Myanmar are, at best, dangerously naive.

#Myanmar junta is preparing a sham election while waging a campaign of terror, increasing its airstrikes & committing int. crimes.

Australia must:
⚠️ Not recognise junta’s sham election
✊🏽 Step up targeted sanctions

Australia must stand on the side of democracy, not military tyranny.
Myanmar's junta grabbed power in a coup. Now the country is going to the polls
Nearly five years ago, Myanmar's military seized power, plunging the country into a bloody civil war that left the junta internationally isolated. Now, with no end to the conflict in sight, Myanmar…

It is vital for international and regional stakeholders to hear civil society voices, listen to their stories, & engage with the legitimate representatives of Myanmar people—including the NUG, ethnic resistance organizations, and civil society.

“If the international community truly wants to support sustainable peace & federal democracy in Myanmar, then investing in & trusting Myanmar’s local civil society groups, including women’s organizations, must be at the center of that effort” concludes Naw Poe Dah
pvamplify.bsky.social
It’s time for the international community & donors to:
👏Cut ties with the illegal military junta
👏Impose a global arms and aviation fuel embargo
👏Pursue international accountability mechanisms for junta criminals
👏Engage with legitimate representatives of Myanmar people

Naw Poe Dah of Burmese Women's Union, says “Women’s organizations and women activists are on the frontlines of resilience and resistance” ✊
They deliver humanitarian aid, conduct human rights documentation, & support political empowerment of women in decision-making processes.

Naw Cherry expands on how civil society groups support local communities & bottom-up governance by giving them decision-making authority. This creates trust and helps build local skillsets & enhances efficiency & dignity. Communities know best what is needed and how to respond.
pvamplify.bsky.social
Across #Myanmar, civil society groups respond to emergencies on the ground, providing cash, food, medicine, water, hygiene supplies, and more. Crucially, they ensure aid matches actual needs of communities through consistent data-gathering, partnership, and communication.
