Now that the junta has virtually crushed mass protests in downtown Yangon, security forces are hunting down youth still launching surprise demonstrations. They arrested two men at 49th St and Anawrahta Rd on Friday at noon. One was beaten up before being hauled away in a van.

UPDATE FROM @USEMBASSYBURMA: Today, March 12, a U.S. Embassy Burma officer attended the court hearing of 5 reporters detained while doing their jobs. “Silencing the press will not keep the world or people of Myanmar from recognizing the junta’s abhorrent actions.” FULL STATEMENT:

#Mar12Coup Yangon. Tonight. #Myanmar military viciously kick and punch a motorcyclist. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

TW // beatings This is reportedly #Yangon today, where craven, brutal #Myanmar police viciously beat unarmed people who pose no threat to anyone. All of these officers belong behind bars.

Grateful to United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres for our constructive call on Afghanistan, Ethiopia, and Burma yesterday. I welcome the UN’s partnership in working to end these and many other conflicts around the world.

Heartbreaking to see how brave and fierce Angel, Kyal Sin, was until she was brutally killed. Military showed no respect for the deceased by digging up her grave. She enjoyed dancing and Taekwondo. cnn.com/videos/world/2…

Following the UN Security Council statement on Myanmar, the UN Secretary General @AntonioGuterres tells the Myanmar military "that it is absolutely essential to release all prisoners,...to respect the result of the elections and to...move back to a democratic transition."

#Mar13Coup Thaketa. Early hours of the morning. Protestors shot as they demanded release of children who had been beaten and detained by the security forces. Two dead and at least three injured. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar #myanmar

NSA Jake Sullivan Archived on the topics discussed during The Quad’s leader-level summit: “The leaders addressed key regional issues including—freedom of navigation & freedom from coercion in the South & East China Seas; the DPRK nuclear issue; & the coup & violent repression in Burma.”

#Mar13Coup Pyay, Bago Happening now. “At Least Four People Hit & many Injured” #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar #myanmar x.com/yeminkhantt/st…

Today I told the UN HR Council the Myanmar junta knows all about weapons of war but are at a loss how to deal with weapons of peaceful resistance wielded by a determined people defending their nation & their children's future. They need & deserve the UN to stand with & for them.

The Secretary-General António Guterres is "appalled by the escalating violence in #Myanmar at the hands of the country’s military. The killing of demonstrators, arbitrary arrests and the reported torture of prisoners violate fundamental human rights."

The picture shows Min Aung Hlaing's illegitimate terrorist groups using machine guns against the people and the protestors. This obviously clear #HumanRightsViolations and they are committing #CrimesAgainstHumanity. They all must be held accountable for these atrocities.

At least 4 people, including a 15-year-old boy, were killed in the regime’s nighttime raids in Mandalay on Sunday, according to family members & locals. Another person was killed in Chanmyathazi Tsp when armed forces fired on locals who were stopping them from removing barriers.

An important statement from Dr. Sasa on CRPH Myanmar’s commitment to deliver justice for #Rohingya. “In 2017, these same generals, perpetrators, could have killed thousands of our brothers and sisters Rohingya. They are human beings.” #Myanmar
