Extremely ironic that as ASEAN’s human rights body AICHR meets today under the auspices of chair Wisma Putra, the junta is repeatedly violating a ceasefire first brokered by Anwar Ibrahim. Days ago, the junta bombed a school, killing 22 children. fortifyrights.org/mya-inv-2025-0…

The way #ASEAN has failed the people of #Myanmar since the coup is disgraceful. While the junta bombs schools and murders children, ASEAN still gives them a seat at the table. Please stop enabling war criminals.

"Malaysia ... should initiate emergency measures within the regional bloc to ban the sale and transfer of aviation fuel to the Myanmar military junta ..." My colleagues Seng, Sai Arkar calls on Anwar Ibrahim, as ASEAN chair, to take action. fortifyrights.org/mya-inv-2025-0…

As ASEAN Chair, Anwar Ibrahim must abandon the failed 5PC that has failed to yield results on the crisis in Myanmar. Malaysia must lead the region to impose a region-wide embargo on arms and jet fuel, cutting off the junta's capacity for violence. fortifyrights.org/mly-inv-2025-0…

As ASEAN summit convenes today, Malaysia must lead the bloc in holding Myanmar’s junta accountable for its atrocities, writes Seng of Fortify Rights in The Diplomat. “[The people of Myanmar] need a world that sees through the junta’s lies.” thediplomat.com/2025/05/asean-…

While it’s honorable to protect those who joined the CDM movement, it is important to distinguish between those who actively supported junta abuses and those who remained in their roles due to fear, necessity, or lack of choices.
