1. Union Minister Dr. Sasa has called for the international community to take concrete action because there is a risk that Myanmar’s children may become a lost generation unless prompt action is taken
Union Minister Dr. Sasa issued a statement dated July 12, 2023, calling for concrete actions from the international community and the free and democratic world on the deepening crisis in Myanmar.
“We have heard the powerful message and heartbreaking updates from the UN Special Rapporteur and the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. We urge you to take a few moments to listen to this crucial update and join us in taking decisive actions. Unless immediate actions are taken, the children of Myanmar are at risk of becoming a lost generation,” Union Minister Dr. Sasa raised his concern.
Dr. Sasa also spoke out that the terrorist military junta has killed more than 800 children, unjustly imprisoned more than 380 children as political prisoners, held 51 children as hostages to pressure their parents, displaced more than 660,000 children, left more than 5.8 million in need of life-saving assistance, and deprived dozens of millions of children of their right to education since its attempted coup on February 1, 2021.
Dr. Sasa called on the international community in six areas: to immediate cut the flow of money to the genocidal military junta, joining the United States, the European Union other nations in sanctioning junta’s source of incomes; to stop the flow of military arms to the junta; not to give the junta legitimacy and to cut off all diplomatic engagements with the Myanmar junta; to impose coordinate, stronger and targeted sanctions against the military junta; to officially recognise the National Unity Government (NUG) as the sole legitimate democratic representative of Myanmar; and to support and stand solid with the people of Myanmar in their struggle against the genocidal military dictatorship to achieve freedom and federal democratisation, which is the only path to peace, prosperity, and stability not only for Myanmar but for the entire region.
