The idea of rebellion against tyranny is acknowledged in the UDHR as a moral justification for ensuring that human rights are protected. It remains a foundational philosophical justification for the existence of universal human rights. #whatshappeninginmyanmar

Myanmar is like a terminally ill patient. First aid helps, but it won't cure. Until the world treats the root cause—the military junta—the prognosis remains grim. #WhatsHappeninglnMyanmar

An election staged by a junta that crushed the people's will through bloodshed and terror isn't democracy. It's a tool to entrench oppression. The world must stop legitimising these farces. #WhatsHappeninginMyanmar

Myanmar’s crisis isn’t just a humanitarian emergency — it’s a political catastrophe rooted in impunity and structural violence. Without justice and accountability, any response will only prolong suffering and embolden the perpetrators #WhatsHappeninginMyanmar

Inclusivity must never be used as a tool to sanitize war criminals. In Myanmar, those who have burned our villages, bombed our schools, and massacred our people cannot and must not be part of the rebuilding process or the architects of peace. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar #ASEAN

Myanmar’s junta exploits forced labor, attacks civilians, and commits international crimes — all while flagrantly ignoring its obligations under the ILO. We call on all ILO Member States to invoke Article 33 sanctions now. No more impunity #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

Schoolchildren are massacred in #Myanmar junta airstrikes, but sure, tell us again how shaking hands with a war criminal was a smart move. bangkokpost.com/world/3023841/…#WhatsHappeninglnMyanmarar

The junta has consistently exploited disasters to seek legitimacy, consolidate power, and attract resources. In such a context, humanitarian action must be grounded in the 𝑫𝒐 𝑵𝒐 𝑯𝒂𝒓𝒎 principle. Please do not strengthen the hands of our oppressors www.facebook.com/share/16T2Zo...

One man’s greed for power is making an entire nation bleed. The #Myanmar junta chief exploits disaster relief to tighten his grip, turning aid into a weapon and tragedy into tyranny. While people suffer, he profits—and commits even more atrocities . #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

Displaced a year after the Arakan Army ousted junta forces and took over Paletwa, Chin children on the Mizoram border now face severe hardship, with little access to education, healthcare or food aid — their future deprived and uncertain. #WhatsHappeninginMyanmar #EndImpunity

Survivors of Myanmar’s earthquake carry not only the weight of rubble, but also the crushing burden of oppression, suppression, and obstruction — compounded by the weaponization of international aid. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

The ILO Conference must adopt the draft resolution invoking Article 33 against Myanmar’s junta. With no real accountability from other international mechanisms, urgent action is needed to end forced labor & rights abuses. The ILO must lead where others have failed to take action.

Four years on, zero action. @ASEAN five-point failure fuels impunity, not peace. #WhatsHappeninginMyanmar #EndImpunity #ICCarrestMinAungHlaing #WarCrimes #NoBackroomDeal

Collaboration with local school boards and institutions is helping restore a sense of normalcy and rebuild communities devastated by SAC military aggression. However, this progress has also made these areas targets of renewed and deliberate airstrikes. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

Enablers, domestic or otherwise, are by definition accomplice and should answer for their complicity for crimes the junta commits against the people of Myanmar

Following the meeting with Malaysian PM, Min Aung Hlaing has continued to ❌ Weaponize aid ❌ Intensify airstrikes ❌ Commit mass killings Engaging with a #WarCriminal only perpetuates these horrors. Stop enabling atrocities!

We are deeply saddened by the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis. In a moment we will forever cherish, our representative had the honor of presenting him with the Chin traditional dress—a symbol of our people’s identity, resilience, and the dignity of all Indigenous communities

This escalation reflects a deliberate and chilling strategy—not just of military aggression, but of calculated state terror aimed at destabilizing local governance and obliterating public infrastructure in resistance-controlled areas. www.chinhumanrights.org/post-earthqu...

Opinion | “But we must be honest: aid alone will not save Myanmar. Charity without justice is not enough. As Jesus taught us, we are not only to bind wounds, but also to liberate captives and challenge injustice at its roots” writes CHRO Executive Director Salai Ling www.ucanews.com/news/a-chris...

Silence or inaction under a brutal regime may be rationalised as self-preservation, but over time, it normalizes injustice and enables the junta’s rule. Worse, it dishonors those in the Civil Disobedience Movement who have risked everything for justice. #whatshappeninglnmyanmar

At 4 p.m. on April 13, the junta launched an airstrike on Mindat, destroying Myoma Baptist Church. No injuries were reported, as worshippers had avoided the church due to its vulnerability to air attacks. It is the second church destroyed by an airstrike in the area within a week

From bombing civilians to blocking food and medicine, the Myanmar junta is using aid as a weapon of war. Thousands are suffering, not from lack of aid—but from denial of access. This must stop! Humanitarian aid is not a bargaining chip. It’s a lifeline. #StopWeaponizingAid

According to the Chin Human Rights Organization, since 2021 at least 107 religious buildings, including 67 churches, have been destroyed in Chin State by army bombings www.vaticannews.va/en/church/ne...

PR: CHRO strongly condemns the Myanmar military junta’s latest wave of deadly airstrikes deliberately targeting civilians and protected sites in Chin State. These attacks represent a cruel and calculated attempt by a desperate regime to reassert control. www.chinhumanrights.org/children-chu...

We call on the international community to meet this moment with more than compassion—with courage and vision. Provide aid, yes—but also invest in self-governance, locally-led recovery systems, and long-term resilience. www.chinhumanrights.org/myanmars-pol...

A midnight airstrike on civilian targets in Tedim Township killed 4 children and 2 adults. A 7th civilian was critically injured. The bombing obliterated 3 houses and damaged 10 others. Meanwhile in Mindat Township, a separate airstrike killed 6 civilians, including 2 children.

The initial complaint, filed in October 2023 under Republic Act 9851, accused Myanmar military leaders of grave violations of international humanitarian law, including extrajudicial killings, torture, the destruction of Christian villages in Chin State www.chinhumanrights.org/chro-leads-l...

The Zomi Revolutionary Army (ZRA), the only junta-affiliated armed group operating in #ChinState is accused of burning down an entire village of 75 houses in Nakzang of Tonzang Township on April 4, prompting a call for emergency relief aid for displaced families of nearly 350 ppl

@ChinHumanRights’ interview with @ChannelNewsAsia calling for international aid to be channeled via non-junta entries to avoid the aid being weaponised by the junta for its own benefit #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

The junta has bombed a village near the earthquake’s epicentre. How can anyone, in good conscience, justify handing over aid— in any form—to a regime that openly attacks, kills, and displaces survivors of one of the worst natural disasters in recent memory? www.facebook.com/share/p/1BbY...

The Myanmar junta has exploited every disaster while causing the country’s worst man-made crisis. It’s vital to bypass the regime when delivering aid and ensure help goes directly to the victims, not the perpetrators.#AidVictimsNotKillers

Amidst earthquake devastation, the SAC continues airstrikes. The regime exploits crises for power & profits. Pouring aid into its hands strengthens the very force responsible for killing and displacing more people than the disaster itself. AVOID COMPLICITY www.bbc.com/news/article...

As part of its ongoing and longstanding advocacy work to leverage the United Nations human rights mechanism, the CHRO actively engaged in the Human Rights Council (HRC) Interactive Dialogue and participated in key side events in Geneva from March 19-21, 2025. www.chinhumanrights.org/chros-partic...

Our work is guided by the principle of speaking the truth, however inconvenient it may be, and giving a voice to those who are oppressed and suppressed, regardless of who their oppressors are. People deserve to feel genuinely liberated and secure, free from containment or control

@ChinHumanRights is privileged to have a very productive conversation with the International Labour Organization on issues of forced labor practice, freedom of assembly, findings of Commission of Inquiry, Governing Body’s Resolution re: #Myanmar and upcoming ILO Conference in Geneva, Switzerland

@ChinHumanRights is grateful for an opportunity to brief and update the World Council of Churches @Oikoumene at HQ on CHRO’s work on religious freedom in #Myanmar as part of a week long series of advocacy engagement in Geneva during the @UN_HRC 58th session

CHRO extends its gratitude to the Independent Investigative Mechanism for Myanmar (IIMM), @MyanmarAProject (MAP), and @LegalActionWW for supporting our work on serious rights violations in Paletwa Township, Chin State, and for their participation on the panel during @UN_HRC 58

Join us as CHRO speaks on a panel alongside UN Special Rapporteur Tom Andrews, @pvamplify.bsky.social at a side event on the Human Rights Crisis in #Myanmar at UN Human Rights Council Session 58th in Geneva, sponsored by the European Union Delegation in Geneva on 20th March @ 1-2pm in Room XXII

Join us on Wednesday, 19 March, at @UN_HRC in #Geneva! @ChinHumanRights, IIMM, @MyanmarAProject and @LegalActionWW will be speaking about the situation of human rights in #Myanmar, with a particular focus on Southern Chin State. 📍 Room XXV, Palais des Nations, Geneva

The SAC airforce has been conducting a sustained aerial campaign over Falam to protect its remaining troops stationed at the LIB 268 base. Throughout most of the past week, SAC warplanes have dropped dozens of bombs, while additional troops were reinforced via helicopter airdrops

‘Russia cannot substantially change the dynamic of the liberation struggle’: a conversation with Igor Blaževič. Blaževič's initial involvement in Myanmar is a story of international solidarity.After the Bosnian War, he was living in the Czech Republic myanmar-now.org/en/news/russ...

With Myanmar’s crisis deepening every day, it is vital that global powers continue to take decisive action. Canada’s leadership in this regard sets a strong precedent for other countries, including Australia, the UK, US and EU to follow. www.chinhumanrights.org/welcoming-ca...

Myanmar’s junta defies the UNSC resolution 2669 and dismisses ASEAN’s call to end violence, pushing an election despite losing control of much of the country. Min Aung Hlaing’s delay tactics prolong his brutal regime, underscoring the urgent need for decisive international action.

Nexus Exposed: Advocacy group @JusticeMyanmar, UN Special Envoy Julie Bishop’s involvement in the mining sector and links to Chinese state-owned companies “raises serious questions over her ethical conduct and ability to successfully carry out her mission” www.justiceformyanmar.org/press-releas...

The Western democratic allies must send a clear, unequivocal message by preemptively denouncing the junta's polls. They should not lag behind ASEAN, which has already urged the junta to prioritize ending violence. The West has no excuse for any further delay. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

Women's sacrifices in the fight against injustice deserve due recognition. From peaceful protests on the streets and leading the civil disobedience, to taking up arms in the jungles, they have borne the brunt of the SAC's ruthless terror, going beyond the call of duty. #IWD2025

Over the past two months, the Chin Human Rights Organization (CHRO) has garnered significant media coverage for its efforts in highlighting the devastating impacts of U.S. aid cuts on Myanmar’s already dire human rights and humanitarian situation www.chinhumanrights.org/media-covera...

Since 1999, CHRO’s work has been regularly referenced in the US State Dept’s Intnl Religious Freedom Report. This consistent contribution has played a crucial role in ensuring Burma’s designation as a “Country of Particular Concern” for 25 consecutive years www.chinhumanrights.org/three-decade...

At the heart of CHRO’s Health and Protection Program are Community-Based Health Workers (CBHWs), who serve as the backbone of public health interventions, particularly in conflict zones and among internally displaced persons (IDPs). www.chinhumanrights.org/building-hea...
