*[Enwl-eng] 4 democracy activists, murdered by Myanmar's military

[ENWL]

                        The junta is creating a reign of terror.

                        Last February, Myanmar's democratic government fell to a violent military coup — and the ruling junta has been on a mission to abuse human rights. Just recently, towards the end of July, the military junta sent new waves of terror through the country. In a brutal move, it announced it had executed four leading pro-democracy activists, including a former member of Parliament. Their names were Kyaw Min Yu ("Ko Jimmy"), Hla Myo Aung, Aung Thura Zaw, and former MP Phyo Zeya Thaw. They left behind not only a populace that looked to them with hope, but also loved ones left to suffer this unspeakable cruelty. As many as 70 other political prisoners are also facing possible execution.



                        Authorities arrested the four activists last year, and held trials against them in secretive closed-door sessions, without due process. While family members knew the executions were coming, authorities did not inform them of the timing. On their final visits with their imprisoned loved ones, spouses and children did not realize those would be their final farewell moments. Weeks later, junta officials have still refused to return these martyrs' bodies to their families. Leaders in the international community have sent out brief statements condemning these chilling executions, but we all know that such words are not enough. Some nations are considering enacting diplomatic or economic consequences, and we must support them in this. Scores of other political prisoners are sitting in prison cells, knowing their turn at the gallows is next. We must demand that our leaders take decisive action, now! Sign the petition to demand that nations across the globe work together to protect human rights in Myanmar!
                       
                 
           
                       
                 Thank you,

                        P.S. The Myanmar military junta does not care if the U.S., France, or China writes them a sternly-worded letter. Sign the petition.
