“If the Burmese military regime were genuine about reform, they could release all 14,000 political prisoners today,” said Minn Tent Bo, Advocacy and Communications Officer at Burma Campaign UK. burmacampaign.org.uk/burmese-mili...
The Burmese military’s theatrical releases of political prisoners should fool nobody. Amnesties are designed to manipulate public opinion and buy international credibility, while the Burmese military continues to jail dissidents at will. eng.mizzima.com/2026/04/15/3...
We are joining Burmese activists and human rights organisations worldwide to support Blue Shirt Day on 21st April in support of political prisoners in Burma.

Places where people gather - festivals, villages, and community spaces - are where people live together, find joy, and sustain their livelihoods. But in Burma, the junta is destroying these places and committing mass killings. #resharecampaign @bloodmoneycampaign.bsky.social
From February 2021 to March 2026, the military junta has committed at least 265 incidents of massacre against civilians. There is an urgent need to ensure accountability for these unlawful killings and to seek justice for the victims #resharecampaign @bloodmoneycampaign.bsky.social
In Burma, hospitals are no longer safe. Even if people have access to medical treatment, they remain in danger. Places that are meant to save lives are turning into places where lives are lost. #ReshareCampaign #SanctionAviationFuel #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar #BMC #NLTA #ANB #BloodMoneyCampaignMM
In Burma, perpetrators of war crimes are attacking schools where children are studying, hospitals where patients are receiving treatment, and civilian homes using artillery and aircraft. #ReshareCampaign #SanctionAviationFuel #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar #ClosetheSky #NLTA #ANB #BloodMoneyCampaignMM
