Yesterday, Human Rights Watch accused Australia’s ambassador to Myanmar of “lending credibility” to Myanmar’s junta authorities. HRW’s criticism came after the ambassador met with the junta’s chief Min Aung Hlaing and of Myanmar’s state-owned media outlets on Wednesday to discuss “cooperation” in varied sectors.

HRW โซล่าเซลล์ราคาถูก stated the meeting has damage global efforts to hold the chief accountable for human rights abuses, saying, “By taking picture ops and accepting gifts, Australia solely serves to lend credibility to a army junta that’s accused of committing struggle crimes”.

Last month, a human rights organisation, together with the Yale Law School Center, accused Myanmar’s chief Min of making a particular command that deployed snipers to kill unarmed protestors. The School Center and Fortify Rights investigated leaked paperwork and 128 testimonies from survivors, medical staff, witnesses and former army and police personnel relating to the violence in Myanmar.

The report identified 61 military and police commanders who the researchers said must be investigated for crimes towards humanity. Six of those people are allegedly active-duty military personnel, including a colonel and two majors. The researchers allege chief Min’s new special command in the capital Naypyidaw was run by 4 of his prime generals.

After Wednesday’s meeting, Maung urged Australia to “align with its traditional allies” by avoiding additional high-level meetings with junta leaders and immediately imposing sanctions on Myanmar. Meanwhile, an official from Australia’s foreign affairs department stated the ambassador had used the assembly to call for Myanmar to cease violence and launch detainees.
