The junta has killed scores of civilians in horrific airstrikes across #Myanmar in the past week alone.

The int'l community, incl' #ASEAN, must take urgent action to protect civilians from the junta’s intensifying attacks ahead of its sham elections.

Courageous ppl across Myanmar are risking their lives to protest the military junta's sham election. From the streets of Mandalay to posts on FB, the people are resisting an illegal and murderous junta in the face of torture, imprisonment and death.

Canada, EU, UK & USA must:
❌Sanction junta entity SSPC
❌Reject its sham election
❌Cut junta’s access to funds, arms, technology & aviation fuel through coordinated, targeted sanctions and a global arms embargo.
#SanctionAviationFuel #CutTheCash Reject #ShamElection #GlobalArmsEmbargo
❌ Every member of the illegal Myanmar junta's so-called "State Security and Peace Commission" (SSPC) is sanctioned.

Gov'ts now need to urgently add SSPC to their sanctions lists to ensure the illegal junta remains broadly sanctioned and to prevent their sanctions regimes from being circumvented.
