10:37 pm
to our viewers around the world. thank you for having me. my name is kin omar. i have been a long term human rights and democracy active is wrong. and my bro, my since 1988 as i was a part of organizing the well known nationwide pro democracy, appraising, known as the 8888. currently, i'm the chair of the human rights research and advocacy organization called progressive voice. we are look on their ma, humanise organization. thanks for heaven ega i view as you've met your panel. let me tell you what the key question is that we're talking about on youtube. so you can be right here in the comment section, section panel mia mars pro democracy activists in jor, military pressure. that is the conversation we're going to be having in the next 20 minutes or so. surely, let me start with you. we've been seeing extraordinary, very, very chummy pictures of the russian foreign minister meeting of the head of the medium, our military on wednesday,
10:38 pm
local time. when you see these pictures will show you some of them, that relationship between russia and me, m r. what does that do to what is actually happening down the ground, that there's an ally there for me? i'm all for sure. and vice versa for russia. so the russian foreign minister, and i think this is a 1st trip to me and mark back. this is not the 1st sort of trip bind their rush, you know, weapons 8. and there are also different military 8 to them. the am i. but this is the 1st impasse and meet in person to me and mar. and when i see that pitch has that be a heavy now, you know, lively conversations between these 2 dictators, totally install as being the people of them are not just the but also the new
10:39 pm
patient. because right now the flooring, so minutes start meeting happening. and at the same time, the restaurant 40 minutes that came in your mind to be installed directly with your market tatum, my point. so clearly this is a sign also at the same time, the tiny foreign minister also was a need that covered the cd. not long ago and now restaurants already. yeah. and we don't know what will happen next. this is totally consenting for democracy. forces in the region also in the stage. so as a controls, i'm just looking at chris gun assist tweet here from the me a more accountability project. this is what chris says. so good to see me in the empty seat at the, at the meeting. but an empty chair is an empty gesture, unless it is back, felt with meaningful economic sanctions. and magic measures such as recognition of the and this is the national unit and government that is
10:40 pm
was put together when the military coup happens. i'm just going to just go up a little bit so you can actually see that empty chair that so how do you have an at the end piece process with at the end? not act. oh, with me, i'm not at the assay and meeting of foreign ministers. how was that possible, emma? first of all, the us. yeah. and make this decision not to alarm there. the leaders of the crew to attend the summit are some of the top level top political meetings. and since last year, october, that was a good decision. it was a good ride to reach out. it's a, it's a direct, a decision in the right direction. so for us it's good to see the honda is not there because they don't belong there. this seat belongs to the people at myanmar, in, in that sense it is for the nation, the unity government,
10:41 pm
the people as elected, legitimate government to take a seat to represent the people on so forth, in that sense as the and made a good decision. but like chris said, that's not enough at all because i see in, in fact made this a 5 point consensus which the out in like last year, more than a year now that they made such decision. and in that decision all along has failed . so while we see is there with this fight, why concerns as decision from there i see in the hunter is hiding behind. and actually it is a time delay tactic for the hunter to be able to continue to commit these atrocity crimes that they are doing against the people on the, on my so the us e n must wake up now. no. wow. well, before things getting way too late, because now i see and is left with very little credibility. you know, when it comes to me and my so they really need to not only leave the seat empty,
10:42 pm
but they need to actually invite the national unity government and walk with the nation that the government to solve the crisis at nascent, i totally agree with the all mean on lucky all the international community, especially the china india, japan must realize the, the, the normal military is not the part of the solution. the military, if so, if it's so soft, go through it. so the, so if load the internet in there right now, if a time to recognize the new g as a legitimate government obama, and also engage with the ebony, revolutionary forces known as like, you know, e, r o. so that is the only way for the part rifle way for the bama to be thought. nathan, i'm thinking if the military is not part of the solution. so if that empty chair is a metaphor for they do not deserve to be at the table. and then you go to the
10:43 pm
national unity government, is that no war, nathan, that you're suggesting. i'm suggesting that the, you know, not good, not only the recognize the military and the military, but also to recognize the fully later to make paula to the new government. so i'm talking about the future, but the, the current situation, the international community food to recognize the true solution for the country. because, and you know, against those backdrop. so there's no way to do that. no, we're not doing the business as a normal for the international community issue in the statement, you know, expressed their concern a short and you know they're watching the situation close. me is not very helpful. i think enough enough this i'm chalet. it's simply here that i want to share with you for my, you chief audience. i'm just going to include some thoughts here. why is russia
10:44 pm
supporting me a more briefly shanley thoughts? oh, that's obvious that russia i've been back in the military before i was military taken over the whole country and in 2010 we had 4 of election led by the military. and after that, people or people keep demanding democracy, democracy, but the same time. now military trying to attend a coo again and now he has again the rudolph, russia, and ty, not come back, pen pen back and see simply there is a boarding dictatorship but not just the our system, but also the civilians equipment. and then also funding the military in the m r to hold the power and thus clearly the reason that the bagging them are military for a long time. and at the same time with that us, us trying to be in the salvation region. and then russia is coming down
10:45 pm
to, you know, kind of challenging the us and also the more credit occasionally let me, i'm going to try to get some more who i think they want to talk to all of the, all of the guess. this is one for you that i'm going to show you at the i could be a 4th in the region if they were active about human rights. oh, well we thought, oh yes, definitely. i've been involved in developing this as a community for a long time actually. and it's been really disappointed in hong the, at the end has become more of like this onto chrissy. the club of adequacy, rather than club of democracy or the, you know, for the, for the people. so it's, it's the, you know, the c, n has such, for example, inside bought a body, they called as the human rights commission, right. or the refugee with alex or women and children, wives protection commission,
10:46 pm
for example. but these all are under the control of the government and independent we, what we need is the human rights bodies that are independent and impartial. and yet this region completely lack such bodies. and therefore, we couldn't bring there such grief human rights violations happening in all countries. not only in the mumbo mom, but also i can come bodya allows vietnam, we were not able to bring it up to the regional body. and in fact, we call as people tiger because that is no deep nathan, i have one more thoughts from you, from our viewers who are watching our conversation right now. i am worried for the people after they have declared a state of emergency. this is an extension of the state of emergency that's been going on for over a year. if they protest, they will be hurt. nathan, you know all too well. what being heard and being tortured is like yeah, you know, anyone can be killed the gun point of my soldier. anytime that is the best pitcher
10:47 pm
i could give it to you now for what is happening on bama. so, you know, you know, since the constitution are cool, so the, the military, you know, ton, the whole country for all being still into it, kills to a diverse, to the one with the go there and you know, would be gone for this and kill. so the people are not fighting but so you know, that's be, you know, they are taken by the whole country. so that is, that clearly demonstrated that the way off the people must be russ. but so in this situation if anyone or any gantry consider supported the mom a military, a, c, q, sion, and the commit in the wall, crime and serious, you know, the crimes against humanity. i mean, that is the very shameful, you know, moment for the history war history. surely, one of the things that we really wanted to make sure that we addressed today was how the people of me m are, are handling the additional pressure from the military. are you seeing
10:48 pm
a different kind of tactic or strategy the military are using now? the state of emergency has been extended again, which means that they do not have control of the country. where are we now in this movement, back to democracy? are all the movement from the military to try and secure the country. so this august, 8th, when march, 34 years of, you know, anniversary of the 88848 revolutions. and so, you know, we've been seeing in our tremendous amount of like crimes against humanity was crime in different areas, even in, in the revolution. they have kill countless through and lead us and you know, of walk us civilians, all of it. and now be flying to say almost similar, but now even more crudo like they are, you,
10:49 pm
they scout policy that nationwide. they've been bending down different houses. more than $10000.00 houses were bent down villages, the whole village. this was gulch, you know, for an art and at the same time we have a secured us for political prison and more prison are more political activists are in line to be, it's acute it and they use them more and more brutal. we'll, for example, special violence in different conflicts. so at one end of the war and the terror campaign, you know, nationwide. so i would say they've been using more and more tactic. but the same thing is, is the fear, you know, the trying to stay fear to the people. and now this is different in 2020. why is, is the young people expose it to the internet and using different creative way to, to, to, to counter is not physical who is also a digital qu. so the young people using different ways to counter at the same time,
10:50 pm
not to come during the game, you know, we are trying to form our own game. so we are we with high or not playing along with the or game, including the, to the out. the christie do shit just to day the young people been down to the jewish and the on the street off. can go, you know, that clearly speak and all that. surely we don't say we're, we're, we're forming our own game. i want to hear a little bit more about that. but 1st i'm going to go all via project manager about a full wrap against the hunter. it's a group of creating a group of artists. you will see that his face is covered, obviously for safety reasons. but this is as the spirit of the resistance in miramar, or at least one side of it. let's have a listen. let's have a look. the more me a more to the people like the g p u a b is in say oh oh no law. yeah,
10:51 pm
we got a motion for there and you see so we assume oh oh oh oh yeah. you can see how the problem not a so i, i, he, that hate coming from the resistance. but i also hear that coming from the military leadership as well. i'm just going to play this to you, oma and i really like you to unpack it for us in great. the way that the military is, is thinking about the way ahead for them. this is the military lead at men on line talking about the extension of the state of emergency alma mater don't count on their team. we made utmost efforts in discharging the states duties with might and maine, but internal and external terrorists. and that conspirator, person is,
10:52 pm
and organizations are committed to the utter devastation rather than the flourishing of democracy in me and my demography trunk are you did was a semi 1st of all we all have to be very clear is that this military is and has never been one for love, but it is an institution. they teach their soldiers to hate the people they teach soldiers to hate their people with their believe in democracy on. and also this is the military who has never believed in dialogue either. and our country for many times have tried peace negotiations, dialogue with this military to have a political sentiment. that is a stay in our long democracy movement and the movement for the ethnic rights and equality. the political crisis must be soft with
10:53 pm
a political solution and all the actors involved have try and all along. but we always face the bottom line. we go, but do the square one and square 0 all the time is because this military don't believe in dialogue and also be what they want is they are ongoing power and i am grim over the country, but not only in politics but is actually, is economy because we are a country, unfortunately, or fortunately, or unfortunately, well, country, very rich with natural resources. it is a resource cars because did the military know that, you know, they can, they can actually grip this economy web and the person know what from, from the, the natural resources. so what they do is they know that they can not let go of their power. so no matter what cause they will continue to remain. and that's a very reason would tell me the you and, and security council and the asi and look the military if be the solution,
10:54 pm
is lives with the people on the emma and of people on them. i have already for the last 18 months at least continuously short while what they want and also what they are trying. so providing everything of their lives, especially the young generation. so with telling the un and the cns like you must actually come to, the reality grew up on the reality is that your mom will only move forward when this military is dismantled and broad and the civil, lia, administration, civilian control. that's the only way for them to move forward. and the security council really needs to act as if duty causal cannot act because of china and russia. beloget. we need the other democratic countries like the u. s. government e u and u. k. and australia in japan use a lap form a like minded, a like minded, a group, and eck on with responsibility to protect. they need to protect the people on them
10:55 pm
because people there might have been protecting themselves and defending. we know of this military's but bearing vow lunch for the last 18 years i and all the time there's no waiting. and then do an reading need to and, and at u. s. government also need to impose sanctions on the that him out while and guess i thank you answered my i. when i had the alarm a few minutes with nathan nathan, i shall you'll be aware of shown crispin sean, chris bennett, from the committee to protect journalists. this is how he sums up that the media landscape a me a mom right now. i'd love to hear your thoughts of the back of this because oversee journalism media. a free fat press is really vital to any country that wants to quote itself democratic. he shall, mia mars media faces an unprecedented crisis since military coup makers have moved to stifle independent news report inside the country. since last year's qu,
10:56 pm
publications have been banned. journals have been jailed and even isn't says i'm killed while in military custody. we see this as a concentrated and targeted campaign against the free press to stifle news reporting to effectively outlaw um, independent media. precisely at a time as the qu, makers are being accused of extraordinary rights abuses across the country. nathan, yes, i totally agree. would you want a chance that, you know, you know, if you, if you look at the whole, you know, bud draw in the, in what happened in the last 18 months. so the media is no, no longer a to, to, to report it was the a c and you know, what is happening in bomb bomb. know, you know, a ride to live. that is what happened. and actually the rest is done is growing, you know, do live really the bama. so we, we will see it that is a kind of like a 2nd, you know, in the find a movie, you know, soon after like of somebody for years, you know,
