Injustice.
This post is dedicated to 20 year olds, Mya Thwe Thwe Khaing and Nyi Nyi Aung Htet Naing, and all those who have recently fallen at the hands of the military, as well as to the Burmese people who are bravely fighting each and every day for decades in order to achieve democracy. Mya was one of a number of people who died whilst protesting. She was shot in the head by the Burmese military coup during a protest. With the video of the shooting circulating online, it is truly bittersweet. Although it is horrifying and tragic, it is a good thing it was caught on camera and spread worldwide to showcase how appalling the military are with their attempt at fear tactics. Nyi Nyi was an internet network engineer who posted on Facebook about the increasingly violent military crackdown on pro-democracy protests in Myanmar, the day before he was shot and killed by soldiers.
When I was 20, I can definitely tell you that I never realized at full capacity how fortunate my life was. To live in a first-world democratic society, where I am free to be who I am, free to vote and have access to certain things that others cannot - It is clear that I lived a privileged life in comparison to others.
It is a hard pill to swallow watching from afar and knowing that there is yet, another nation filled with millions of people whose basic fundamental human rights are being absolutely violated and taken away. With the unknown ahead - not to mention, already filled with many deaths and injuries of civilians, this protest must be shared and made known. I am not one to debate, let alone talk about politics but this is far too difficult for me to ignore even if I wanted to. As I am writing this, it means this is a testament that I truly I believe in it. And by that - I stand by Aung San Suu Kyi, the National League for Democracy (NLD) party of Burma, as well as the entire Burmese community in the fight against the military coup. How many more lives do we need to lose in order for there to have any impact? Basic fundamental human rights should be entitled to everybody.
Join me along with others in helping the Burmese people achieve their much deserved freedom. Slavery should not exist anymore. Please support the CDM so that we can help to emancipate an entire nation from modern day slavery.
