Statement by Chin Human Rights Organization on the Myanmar Tatmadaw’s Coup d’etat in Burma/Myanmar

February 3, 2021/in Member statements

A diverse groups of Civil Society Organizations calls on the Human Rights Council (HRC) to pass a swift and stong resolution at the 29th Special Session on Myanmar condemning the military coup and to take steps to ensure the protection of protesters, monitor the situation on the ground, and enable long-term federal democratic and human rights change in the country. The CSOs call for an urgent enhanced monitoring of the fast-unfolding human rights crisis in Myanmar, including by immediately sending a delegation to Myanmar to monitor the situation on the ground and report back to the Council and other relevant bodies.

“We are deeply concerned that the military is planning to retaliate using violence, unlawful arrest, and intimidation”

“We further call on UN Member States to consider imposition of strategic and targeted sanctions against the Myanmar military as an institution, including military-owned and controlled companies and their substantial business associates in accordance with the recommendations of the UN Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on Myanmar.”

They call on the HRC to urge the Myanmar military regime to:

Refrain from using violence, and arbitrary arrests against protesters and respect people’s right to freedom of expression, association and peaceful assembly

Immediately and unconditionally release all those who have been arbitrarily detained;

Allow unfettered Internet access, including on all mobile phone networks and lift all restrictions on access to media sites, social media platforms, VPN and refrain from imposing any further restrictions against use of Internet;

Immediately allow all humanitarian aid and health support to resume their work unimpeded;

End all violations of international humanitarian and human rights law in ethnic and ceasefire areas, and that all civilians are protected, including by lifting all barriers to humanitarian assistance and ensuring the non-interference of aid to ethnic areas.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Chin Human Rights Organization (CHRO) unequivocally condemns the actions of the Tatmadaw which staged a coup d’etat on the 1 February 2021. This action sets the country on a dangerous course of backsliding from the path towards democratization.

This especially imperils the prospect of national reconciliation and peace in the country. The actions of the Tatmadaw are a reckless endangerment to the lives of millions of Burma/Myanmar citizens at a time when all public resources and attention must be focused on the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.

CHRO calls on the military authorities to immediately release all those detained in the coup, including members of the civilian leadership, journalists, writers and civil society activists. We urge the authorities to refrain from further politically motivated arrests and detention.

We appeal to the international community, the United Nations and all countries with the influence, to exert all diplomatic and economic pressures on the Tatmadaw to reverse its actions and to put Burma/Myanmar back on the path of democratic transition.

CHRO stands firmly with the widespread condemnation of the actions of the military and aligns in solidarity with all Burma/Myanmar citizens in fighting against all injustice toward building a peaceful, just and equitable democratic future.
