UN Human Rights Chief Presses ASEAN to Appoint Special Envoy to Myanmar

Reuters The U.N. human rights chief pressed ASEAN on Wednesday to appoint an envoy to Myanmar urgently, with the regional bloc having not yet named a special emissary more than two months after Southeast Asian leaders agreed to do so. Separately, Singapore said it was working with other members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations to hasten the admittedly slow implementation of a five-point consensus on post-coup Myanmar that ASEAN leaders had reached during a special summit on that troubled country in late April. ASEAN should start a dialogue with both the military, which toppled an elected government in February, and that country’s shadow civilian government, said Michelle Bachelet, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights.

Hundreds March in Myanmar to Honor Protesters Killed in a 1962 Massacre and to Oppose Today s Junta — Radio Free Asia

RFA Hundreds of young people turned out in cities across Myanmar on Wednesday to mark the anniversary of a 1962 student uprising against a military coup, calling on citizens to continue the decades-long struggle against the army, which again overthrew civilian rule in February. The July 7, 1962 protest in Myanmar’s then-capital Yangon led to the massacre by the army of more than 100 students, providing a model of sacrifice and resistance to this year’s Feb. 1 coup that ousted the civilian government of Aung San Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy, marchers said on Wednesday. Military forces overthrew Aung San Suu Kyi’s elected government based on accusations that November 2020 landslide elections won by Aung San Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy (NLD) were marred by voter fraud.
