It's hard to believe but the curtain on my term as UN SR Myanmar closes today. Here is a personal video to all who support human rights in Myanmar. While my term ends today, my commitment to advancing human rights in Myanmar will not. Thank you for your friendship and support.

The Malaysian FM asked reporters in Kuala Lumpur - about the point of having an election in Myanmar "if it is all just a whitewash to cover up the eyes of the international community?" Exactly. I urge ASEAN to stop the whitewash by rejecting the junta's so-called "election".

In a matter of days, Myanmar’s military junta has seen its forces collapse in key bases in western Arakan and Chin states. The battle moves to its few remaining strongholds, but those are shrinking too.

Today I will tell the UNGA that while the world is beset by horrible conflagrations of violence, Member States must not lose sight of the raging fire of brutality that is burning inside of Myanmar. Strong, coordinated action is imperative. media.un.org/en/asset/k1f/k1…

Myanmar’s UN ambassador U Kyaw Moe Tun told the General Assembly that his people are losing trust and hope in the UN as it fails to act. He said Myanmar’s crisis is not an internal issue but affecting neighbors, including those hosting Rohingya refugees.

Allowing the junta’s reps to attend EU-ASEAN rights policy dialogue is like letting an accused criminal to serve as a jury member for his own criminal trial. The regional blocs must stop hiding behind ‘technical’ veil to engage the murderous regime at #Myanmar people’s expense.

Extremely disappointing: #EU allowing Soe Lynn Han & Khin Myo Myat, reps of illegal #junta, to attend EU-@ASEAN HR Policy Dialogue on 3 Oct in Brussels.
🚨 EU must stop lending legitimacy to junta. Reject @AICHR’s invite to junta reps & invite @NUGMyanmar to rep ppl of #Myanmar.

Telegram is a tool used by the Myanmar junta. Many people, including the 68-year-old father of the former chair of the All Burma Federation of Student Unions, have been arrested after pro-junta channels on Telegram posted their names and addresses.

No surprise news of high-ranking #UN official @UNReliefChief dominated #Myanmar state media front page & more. What's different now is headline/article focused entirely on #military's own narrative, accusing global community of relying on "misinformation" #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
