The junta’s sham election is over—but the outcome was predetermined from the start. Old wine in an old bottle. The international community must not not be deceived by this charade and must categorically reject the result.

Nearly 5 years after coup attempt, #Myanmar’s independent media remains under attack.🚨

Junta has arrested over 200 journalists, killed at least 7, & continues to imprison 27 since attempted coup.

📌Journalism is not a crime
📌Journalists must be able to work freely & safely

Junta’s sham election is a deliberate attempt to fabricate political legitimacy through coercion and weaponizing electoral systems.

Recent visit by Sec. Lazaro risks lending false legitimacy to junta. 🚨

As ASEAN Chair, the Philippines must recalibrate its approach.

Junta continues to commit war crimes: gang raping pregnant women, killing pastor, & massacring people incl. 13 y/o boy & journalist in Chin State. #Myanmar junta must be held accountable for its inhumane actions. 🚨

Timor-Leste must consider evidences & open investigation.

🚨When CSOs are embedded in political decision-making processes, their independence erodes, their public voice narrows, and their credibility blurs.

A coordinated CSO platform is urgently needed to protect independence while amplifying collective power.

#Myanmar 2025 marked a consolidation of collective resistance despite escalating repression. The strongest rejection of the junta’s political theater has come not from international statements, but from the people themselves—affirming that the junta’s guns do not govern.

While the release of political prisoners is a constant hope & effort by the prisoners’ loved ones & the democracy movement, this façade of an amnesty deserves no praise—it is a junta distraction to mislead intl community from the reality of its tyranny ahead of the sham election.

🛑 The junta uses administrative controls, restrictions, checkpoints, seizures of aid, and violence against aid providers to block, confiscate or divert lifesaving assistance.
