Nineteen protesters were sentenced to death by a military tribunal in Myanmar last Thursday. Since February more than 700 people have been killed by the military. The
junta is is trying to terrorise the people of Myanmar into submission.
At the United Nations Security Council, China and Russia water down resolutions against the
junta and oppose any co-ordinated international measures. They were prominently represented at a military parade in Naypyidaw, the Myanmar capital, on a day when over a hundred protesters were shot in the streets.
Meanwhile Europe’s focus last week was on who got to sit on a chair in Ankara and who was relegated to the sofa and whether the subordination of the European Commission president, Ursula van der Leyen, was a deliberate humiliation by the misogynist Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, or caused by the desire of the president of the European Council, Charles Michel, for a privileged photo-opportunity.
