結束緬甸的致命空襲! End deadly airstrikes in Myanmar!
自2021年2月1日緬甸軍政府發動政變以來已經過去了三年多的時間,政變導致超過4,500人死亡,數千人被逮捕、受到拷打,並引發了持續惡化的人權和人道危機。
緬甸軍方多次進行無情的空襲,以回應為推翻緬甸軍政府統治而鬥爭的激烈武裝反抗。反抗力量反對緬甸軍方主導的政治體制,並努力推動更加公正和平等的社會。然而,許多軍方的空襲都在人口密集的地區進行,對平民和民用設施進行無情的空襲和集體懲罰,包括摧毀房屋、教堂、學校和醫院。
軍方在持續行動中犯下了無數罪行,根據人權組織,例如國際特赦組織以及人權觀察的報告指出,其中包括多次向平民區發射具有大面積影響的爆炸性武器,包括大炮和迫擊炮。軍方廣泛而系統的侵犯人權行為構成了危害人類罪和戰爭罪。
隨著衝突在全國大部分地區加劇,根據聯合國人道事務協調廳(UNOCHA)的資料顯示,自政變開始以來,已有260萬人流離失所。
我們看到,國際社會沒有做出足夠的努力來制止這些侵犯人權行為。讓我們團結起來,呼籲採取集體行動,向軍方施壓,迫使其停止侵權行為、停止致命的空襲。讓我們與緬甸人民站在一起,為民主和自由而戰!
End deadly airstrikes in Myanmar!!
Over three years have passed since Myanmar's military junta launched their coup on February 1st 2021, which has killed over 4,500 civilians and democracy activists, seen thousands arrested, tortured, and caused a spiralling human rights and humanitarian catastrophe.
The Myanmar military has repeatedly conducted relentless airstrikes in response to a fierce armed resistance that fights to overturn Myanmar’s military rule. The resistance forces are against Myanmar’s military-dominated political system and are fighting to advance to a more just and equitable society. However, many of the military's airstrikes have been conducted in populated areas with relentless aerial attacks and collective punishment on civilians and civilian targets, including destroying homes, churches, schools and hospitals.
Among countless other crimes during its ongoing operations, human rights organisations such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have reported that the military has repeatedly fired explosive weapons with wide area effects, including artillery and mortars, into civilian areas. The military's extensive and systematic abuses make up crimes against humanity and war crimes.
As conflict has intensified across much of the country, according to U.N.’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA) it has displaced 2.6 million people since the coup began 3 years ago.
We have seen insufficient international endeavours to halt these violations. Let’s come together and call for collective action to pressure the military to stop its abuses and halt its deadly airstrikes. Let’s stand with the people of Myanmar as they fight for democracy and freedom!
