larger in many towns and cities the army is firing live rounds to disperse them. the united nations says scores of people have been killed since february 1st 38 died on wednesday the worst day or than 7100 people have been detained the crackdown has drawn international condemnation me and maurice military must help murdering and jailing protest it is up to the abhorrent that security forces are firing live ammunition against peaceful protesters across the country we are also appalled at the documented attacks against emergency medical staff and ambulances that are attempting to provide care to those who have been injured scott heiler is monitoring the protests from bangkok in neighboring thailand. another day beginning with a funeral for a dead protester but that didn't prevent them from coming out across myanmar small villages to big cities in fact the 2nd largest city mandalay one of the protests

there turned deadly the largest city in yangon many police forces as well as military throughout the different townships using some of the stepped up tactics we've seen in this past week that really saw a crackdown on the protesters and in some cases they're actually firing tear gas canisters into people's homes this as international pressure is being stepped up the united states is increasing their pressure through economic and political means a regional neighbor singapore the foreign minister saying that it was a national shame that the joint is using weapons on its own citizens and this also came as you tube has announced that it's taking 5 channels connected to the military in myanmar off the air they say that is because they have been spreading misinformation through their channels scott either for inside story soldiers or using the chinese video sharing app to talk to issue death threats to protesters digital rights group me and more i.c.t. for development found more than 800 such posts over the past month some armed men

have threatened to shoot demonstrators in the head take talk says it's removing the videos let's now speak to a protester in the ng gone she's asked to remain anonymous for her safety i know how risky this is for you to be joining us so i thank you very much for doing so i want to ask you 1st just how bad the situation is and are you concerned that the violence by the military and the security forces being directed toward the protesters is only going to get worse. i think that situation is pretty bad i'm pacing and gone so i can't really say for what's happening outside as much but i know that it works and some some place it's like monday and there's some reports about what's happening in more rural spaces that's well this last few days have had we saw a lot of intense crackdowns to a coach actors and it's not just protesting people who are helping protesters as

well there is a video of a house and shots being fired into a house for sheltering protesters there are videos of people military going around streets and and taking away people who are just walking around as well so it's not just protesters who life are being threatened it's also the average person who's just at the wrong time at the wrong place at the long time and i think it's quite that and i don't know how to change is going to progress for it but we've been hearing a lot of rumors as to having a military imposing a national lockdown in gone. for a look at the next 48 hours where internet also cut off the rumor but i've been hearing this from a lot of people that i love channels and people that i've been following and we have a lot of rumors going on as well so there's about psychological warfare going on in right now and this morning there are also. i personally heard some. military jets

flying cross but people have to put some sightings of some of these jets as well and again there are rumors that there could be problems and you know we could we could get bombed any time but to see we're living wake up to this violence and that's every morning and we wake up to such rumors every morning so we don't know what's true what's going to happen it's very hard to predict what's going to go moving on choice board while the crackdown is getting worse we're also seeing more and more people take to the streets and we're seeing the civil disobedience movement growing do you think that in some sense the fear barrier has been broken and that people are going to continue to come out into the streets and protest and participate in the civil disobedience movement even if they are threatened with more violence. i definitely think that fear fear barrier has been broken so a lot of us for example this morning people were talking about the bomb and they were laughing and they were walking around we're all scared but we're still moving

on with our life and again at the same so i went out this morning and on the same boat right at the large protest pete people a few feet down the street where having tea or selling things they were so moving on and it's just that when things get worse we run so i think the fear barrier has been broken people are not sitting in their homes people are doing their own life even if they're not protesting because i mean we're still in the 10th pandemic we still have suffered a lot of financial loss during the pandemic so people are still doing their lives but i think the fear barrier has broken and i think people angrier because the people who have been shot are young and they're 1914 and they've been short brutally and they also have reports of funeral homes being raided to hide the body but i don't know how much of that is true that a lot of reports of this is well so i think people are definitely more emotional inning here and and many are willing to take this fight to the end of the specifics

of how that's how we're going to fight or how we're going to help out whether it's to protest with the other means it's a bit to put each person in their personal beliefs so i think a lot of us are willing to to see this to the end in whatever ways we can this is a largely leaderless movement you have many different people from many sectors of society coming together as part of this movement do you have specific demands and what do you want to see the international community do. i think because myanmar is a very diverse country with a very complicated political history and not all of us are also educated the same ways so i think what people want is different for a depending on various ethnic depending on where or how you've been brought up but i guess what i'm trying to say is the way that the mother of this he thinks might be a bit different from the way ethnic groups see things a lot in the mode of long term operatives are asking for that with the moccasins

and they've been saying that this is the time to talk to the 2000 and constitution and to. get rights for everyone in this country and it just burns a crisis and i think one thing that thinking is that the moderates who have stayed silent would not talk about their enterprises previously are now starting to look at this issue and also saying that we really sympathize with what has happened we're sorry for not being as outspoken we we can do this together of course all of this happened within the span of a month and a lot of them up to this are also kept in the dark about the whole range of crisis situations not reported in the news channels we don't really talk about but i feel like it's such a complicated situation to process within a span of one month so there's a lot of different differences in opinions but one thing that people are saying is to try to not split up with solidarity that we've been seeing in this country right now because you don't have a company structure if somebody needs to are to post it somewhere someone else have to find that person to give blood if somebody needs something we ask our neighbor

and that's really important so people also i think did not create discussion or or or talks at which to follow their chief was quite a complex situation that's going on and i think different people acquire title different things but one thing for sure is a lot of people almost i would say a majority of the country is against a military end and that's a 1st step and and secondly for a federal democracy but i don't know how that's going to put people noted i personally haven't had been to a point of thinking that far you could sense it was just struggling with are created in safety. thank you again for taking the time to join us we do know what a risk it is for you to speak with us we really appreciated and please stay safe thank you thank you happen. all right let's bring in our guests from washington d.c. . managing director of u.s. campaign for burma from yangon men's out to executive director of the b.m.r.

institute for peace and security and from sol young he lead founding member of the special advisory council for me and more and former u.n. special repertoire on myanmar thank you all so much for joining us young he let me start with you today how surprised have you been seeing how many people have been coming out into the streets of myanmar despite the increase in violence this civil disobedience movement seems to only be growing. i'm rather surprised at the continuing number of people showing up on the streets and i have to say i strongly and respectful of all those people who are sad who are sacrificing their livelihoods and their lives to come out and and voice their voice that we will not. live under and military hunta men what happens next i mean from your perspective is the military only going to resort to more violence in

the coming days and weeks and months. yes and very likely what we have seen is the major movement of troops on the 26 a february so that's a sign that the region is reinforcing its security. apparent to us in many cities. chu initiate the crackdown so we 1st saw the 1st day of the crackdown nationwide on fabry 28 and the following days but so far all the last 2 days. a pretty quiet even though we ha some stories of the security forces coming into the protest area. the violence intensity of violence much. lower than what we have seen the previous day but. at this point i think the region is testing

water and trying to see how people going to respond and likely that they're going to use. force to succumbing to these you crocodile myrow we've seen that the military have been changing their tactics and resorting to more violence as well as the security forces the police are the protesters going to have to start changing their tactics in order to break this stalemate in order to try and prevail well thank you for the question i think when we are the odds are they will be trying. whatever possibly possibly early we have and a very smart people come up with all kinds of new i like you if you think of the enhanced so relieved by their courage and. there will notice and i have strong faith that it will harm who i thought maybe he

was also amazing to see you go there not fighting back with weapons but. those so ground that male and bam i used to be scared of doing everything about both. the idea that they were coming out where the nuclear literally had to go up with the rhubarb that presently those don't go in and going through the. heart of. the place so i'm pretty sure they will have always hung in there we. really looking forward to their new ideas and i support them from afar and i only hope and wish they were see young e.u. and marzuki darusman and chris doughty other experts of course about the situation i mean more you all set up a new group called the special advisory council for me and more this is a group that's supposed to provide an international platform for civil society organizations for activists for human rights defenders in myanmar how are you going

to go about doing that. well we're going to be inviting this in the society activists and humorous defenders to voice their wishes and express their views are through us and yesterday during our very 1st press conference we had a member found c.d.n. . express they were going through and what their wishes were and we also had a connection with the protest and side so this is what we planned to do but also we were going to plan on doing is to provide briefing notes an analysis of the situation so that international community will be informed in their decision making and try to push the international community to make decisions and time and timely timely decisions and do that's what we plan to

do at the moment with our new newfound council men is there is any indication that the regime is willing to reverse what they have done or is there any indication that there are any fissures within the ranks of the security forces be they the police or the military. no we haven't see any signs regina's indicating. sticking it to reverse the coast for a few reasons why miss the. the the most of the government authority is located in if you don't which is pretty much insulated a we have from the other part of the country where the protests official so in it he door it's about like somebody to somebody 5 percent of the office attendance so which is pretty much. make the region fashionable at least in if you don't

the other 2nd reason was the source for that shit the units which are undertaking the crackdown and all the other military units in the remade to get to the region which is which is very critical for the regime survival and we've seen that there are a lot of the. social media there are a lot of posts especially chick talk by the police and the military possibile counting against the protesters and threaten the against the protesters so these aside these people tend to be quite aggressive rather than having some of the 2 or the protest so far these 2 reason. for the immediate time we don't see that the region where change the course. for now on myra one of the more interesting things that we've seen as a result of the coup in the civil disobedience movement is we've seen alliances

forged between groups especially ethnic minorities that maybe wouldn't normally have these alliances how is that impacting what's going on and how will it impact things on the ground going forward well certainly the. barely wake up call in for many of our friends and colleagues. who many are or who may have never heard of minorities in their struggles and this is a moment where we are coming together and. student and i think this is a very positive. because we get to learn from each one was important thing is the fight against our one home. and the most important thing is the unity that we brought you back there and here is very important to continue keeping

it on and i do have a strong feeling that. from here on out we will only be supporting it trying to who i was i'm not 90 think the there will be there. always that will be a dividing. not i have been using the final policy for so long that is why we don't know what's going on if we can't but i just wanted to remind all of us at this moment that this is the truth that we have to learn and. to get that we're talking about the. democratic country opera and federal reserve and this is i think a moment where we have to start to to to work together to support the counter to the economy is not the thing and it will only get better but who are then going to obstruct young the u.n. security council is set to meet once more about the situation in myanmar but you

know time and again we have seen the u.n. has seen you get together and because of china and russia has veto power no substantial action is taken towards me and more and the military there i want to ask you 1st if there is any way around that veto power to do something that would impact the situation on the ground and secondly how frustrating must it be for you as someone who has raised the alarm for so many years about the atrocities committed by me in march military against people in myanmar that still no major action has been taken. well that has been frustrating for me during my mandate and today i hope this security council will do a better job than it's done in the past i hope that russia and china will rise up. to the situation and really demonstrate that they can be active participants

concerned by to stakeholders in the international fora china says that they will not tolerate or they will not accept. instability and in their neighboring country then china has to show what they again do because china has the most leverage in dealing with it at my door and so i think this is a time where 2 things must be recognized by this occurring to each council that now that the behavior is in the actions of the tatmadaw they terrorist group they're using snipers tear gas is bombs and killing people from the shooting for the head we've had 2 deaths by children 14 and 16 shot in the head and the 2nd thing the security council will have to really recognize is that

the fact that the actions i called for egypt were crimes crimes against humanity and genocide in relation to the record state and kitchen and shin and shine states but this time i'm calling it is security council recognize it as crimes against humanity for they are the people in manama now and strongly refer to this. this military hunta to the i.c.c. once and for all now he let me just follow up with you very quickly about one point . we're making with regards to the atrocities committed in iraq and say one of the things that i've noticed on twitter and i know that you've noticed as well is this outpouring by many in myanmar who are taking to twitter and other social media platforms saying that they were unaware of what had happened to the rohingya and other ethnic minorities and they are apologizing for the brutality that the

military in gauged in what does that say to you about the moment that we are witnessing in me and more. this is a crisis for me a mother and i think it can turn into an opportunity where the peoples are from different races in religion can come to a unity harmonize and live side by side i see many people apologize to me for how they treat it may but you know that's because it is the result of the 50 plus years of the military and propaganda against it really hinges that these enemies of the state on most and the illegal migrants but they literally boils down to these are enemies of this state so it was the 5060 years of propaganda instilled on the entire people manama and anybody who has stood out for the rights of the right hand was also an enemy of the state but now that people are

beginning to realize that the enemy of this state was the tatmadaw not anybody else man we only have about a minute 30 seconds left let me ask you how much of an impact are the strikes by public servants having in myanmar is this something that is severely worrying the military right now there are 2 types or one of the most hotly the industry just in the private sector especially the banking things and the government a perotto especially so this is pretty much based in utah we haven't seen the significant shutdown of the government ministries except in public help and the education sectors like the other sector for as i like the labor and immigration there are over 200000 stuff we saw already about 1000 the stuff adjoining the city and before that is because the region is pretty much controlled

tightly control of these civil servants however the baker. industries if the region could no rules but the banking is the industries the economic collapse could be individual in coming weeks all right we've run out of times we're going to have to leave the conversation there thank you so much to all of our guests myra. and young healy and thank you too for watching you can see this and all our previous episodes any time visiting our website al-jazeera dot com and for further discussion go to our facebook page at facebook dot com forward slash a.j. inside story you can also join the conversation on twitter our handle is at a.j. inside story for me and i am a gentleman the whole team here i for now. too often on the streets of india. are victims but
