Manila, 23 March 2021–<\/em> Greenpeace Southeast Asia today released a statement on the rising violence in Myanmar.

Yeb Sa\u00f1o, Executive Director of Greenpeace Southeast Asia, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

\u201cMyanmar stands on the precipice of a devastating and long-lasting humanitarian crisis that threatens to engulf the whole region. As a potential tide of people attempt to flee across the country\u2019s borders to escape the violent crackdown in Myanmar, Greenpeace is backing calls for urgent and decisive international action to end the military Junta\u2019s bloody crackdown on protests calling for a return to democracy. <\/em><\/p>\n\n

\u201cAs an organisation that values and promotes peace, global disarmament and nonviolence, Greenpeace is saddened and appalled by the military\u2019s blatant disregard for life, liberty and dignity, and its brutal assault on democracy that is already hitting the country\u2019s most vulnerable the hardest. <\/em><\/p>\n\n

\u201cGreenpeace stands in solidarity with the people of Myanmar. We join the clamour to undo the arrests and detention of public servants, journalists, artists, members of the judiciary and other citizens. We especially stand with the youth of Myanmar in defending their future.<\/em><\/p>\n\n

\u201cStop the violence. Do what is necessary, and what is right, to prevent an impending humanitarian crisis. The world is watching and now, more than ever, peace cannot wait.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n
