Today is Aung San Suu Kyi’s 64th birthday. Apart from leaving your message online: 64 Words for Aung San Suu Kyi to show your support for her, APYN would also like to draw your attention on our calls on the Myanmar army to immediately stop all human rights violations against the Karen civilians.
More than 140,000 Karen civilians have been killed, tortured, forcibly displaced, sexually violated, forced to work, or otherwise subjected to widespread and systematic violations of international human rights and humanitarian law between November 2005 and November 2008. These violations amount to crimes against humanity yet this human rights crisis has received little attention from the international community. >>> Learn more: Crimes against humanity committed in eastern Myanmar
