“While the military junta is attempting to secure legitimacy from ASEAN and the international community, it continues killing civilians everyday through its air strikes and artillery shelling, among others. At the same time, civil society organizations and pro-democracy groups have worked to ensure that ASEAN and the international community are made aware of these ongoing atrocities, thereby temporarily preventing the junta from obtaining legitimacy. However, we must remain united and continue our collective efforts.” U Bo Kyi, Joint Secretary of AAPP
