As some protesters in Myanmar fight back against the security forces’ violent crackdown – the military announced treason charges against the now-removed ambassador to the United Nations.
Kyaw Moe Tun was fired a day after speaking at the UN General Assembly last month – where he called for help to remove the military from power.

I am so happy Myanmar situation from India
This Goverment Television MRTV Is all are FAKE News
Support to the people of Myanmar!
Emperor Xi very angry because his factories were burned down to ashes.
He had given orders to Mynmar army Juntha to transport the offenders to his concentration camps in Cina.
He had instructed his doctors to steal the offenders bady parts and organs as an act of compensation for his lost
Where do you have evidence for this?
@Shimmy Shai Sometimes, a few things are quite obvious that you rarely need an evidence.
@EFG Guy Except that “obvious” is in the eye of the beholder and their biases, and likewise for its converse.
@Shimmy Shai Tell that to religious people. But in the case of China, everyone can see that China doesn’t care about any human lives.
There is no government just a bunch of corporate mafia
This is all the soap opera until you give up
미얀마 민주주의 지켜낼수있게 자비를
모른척말만하는 UN에 저주의천벌을
군부자금줄포스코에 폭망을
Remember the Rohingyas!
Do you support the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army?
He was speaking the truth for the people. He is working to protect his country. What is the United Nation protest in. No even there own employees, he is now a bit safe. For this evil group of humans.
He committed clear and obvious treason.
Ambassadors are not employed by the UN. They’re employed by their respective countries and swear an oath. In the case of Myanmar, the former ambassador swore an oath of allegiance to the Tatmadaw.
He betrayed that oath, which is by definition treason.
@TJ Marx he swore an oath of allegiance to his country, myanmar, not to tatmadaw 🙂 country =/= political party or military party, stop mixing up the two of them.
@Hibari Cloudz Understand that when your country is a dictatorship, your country and your dictator are one and the same. The allegiance is made to the dictator.
The Tatmadaw is not a political party, they’re the ruling military class with Min Aung Hlaing at their head. He runs the whole country. Think like Kim Jung-Ill but in a country no one actually cares about and with a much, much worse human rights record.
What is the difference? Chinese brothers and sisters, no matter which governments, Myanmar people always love hating China.
China should help Kachin, Karen, Shan, Rakhine, Mon and Chin people to gain independence or annex northern Myanmar.
Biden’s America are pushing election fraud to take control of Myanmar.
@Jon Lamar you really have no idea of what you are talking about,,, complete idiot with absolutely no understanding of the politics in Burma
China should just pull all investments and take its citizens home. Plenty of places to invest. Let Americans go spread their “peace”.
China has been stealing Burma’s natural resources for years.China is an organization that supports the terrorist army.China is now vetoing the UN.
@Keith Klickstein Biden’s Democrat monsters are playing their games with you again. Like they did in Libya and Iraq.
Its supreme Almighty wills…when Millions suffered the people keep quite and were Happy as they were safe that time and Govt was defending the Genocides at the ICC
Its His will who full circles it comes now
Where was he when Rohingya were mutilated
The military are the ones who are committing high treason.
A dictatorship that’s been in unbroken power for 61 years can’t commit treason. In a dictatorship treason means to act against the dictatorship.
By “military,” we mean the THUGmadaw, not the people’s militias that are fighting them.
Justice for rohingyar Muslim.
@Htoon Win tell that to military
good time for Rohingya boys to sneak in back
U know ur country have fail you when innocent people are charged
@Misfit TJ Marx is a bot, don’t pay any attention to him.
@TJ Marx terrorism is the worst crime that someone can commit. Terrorism, by definition is the act of what the junta is doing, violent action for political purposes. Killing civilians for political purposes, that is exactly what they are doing. Terrorists trying to overthrow an elected party are by definition, traitors
@Hibari Cloudz No.
Treason is legally speaking, the worst crime someone can commit. Some countries that have long gotten rid of the death penalty still hold a capital punishment exception solely for treason. In others it’s an immediate, mandatory life sentence.
Also, if you want to discuss terrorism ok. By definition a ruling class can not be a terrorist organisation against itself. Whatever they do is law and thus not terrorism.
Terrorism is where someone attempts to use violence or intimidation to sway the political policies of a country. So whilst the Tatmadaw can’t be considered terrorism, there is a case for CDM members who use weapons or form groups with shields being considered terrorists.
That is in addition to their treason.
These aren’t words that mean “good guy” and “bad guy”. We can be appalled at the actions of the Tatmadaw whilst understanding what words mean and how they apply.
@TJ Marx jesus, and you’d wonder why people hate lawyers. number 1 in playing with words.
@Hibari Cloudz No one is playing with words, you just need to understand what words mean before you use them.
The world is not fair, it is not “just”, it isn’t black and white and it doesn’t work like an 80s action film.
You’re acting like you’re so outraged now that the news tells you to be, but were where you for the last 61 years of human rights abuse and genocide. There are at least 2 ethnic groups that no longer exist on the planet because of the Tatmadaw, and then you have the Rohingya.
Where have you been for the last 20 years on Thailand? And for the around 100 other countries with violent dictators in charge…
You’re only interested in Myanmar because someone on a screen told you to be, and then without even actually understanding the real situation you throw around words you don’t actually understand either. That’s a huge problem mate. So step down off whatever self appointed moral high ground you think you’re on because you don’t know what you’re talking about
This world is a joke
What is the world doing?
NOTHING…. just carping from the sidelines as usual. The world order is in chaos – and people around the world are pushing back against the tyranny of power and the elite classes oppressing them. We saw it Hong Kong – Thailand – United States and many more. The capitalists neo-liberals – rightist governments world wide in the UK and Australia too have hijacked democracy and oppressed people. Young people see their lives fading.. or snuffed out if they do not participate and fight for their rights. We have a people’s movement and it is going to get stronger. We must wrest back our civil rights and force governments to govern transparently and recognise that they exist for the people, and government is created of and by the people. Good people can no longer standby and watch Evil people do Evil deeds.
Vetoed by the chinese in the UN
미얀마의 민주주의를 기원합니다
저도 그렇습니다.
Waitt … myanmar military talking about bribe an corruption? 😁
I know. It brings a whole new dimension to the word “dumbfounded.”
@Wombat Joey world anticorruption forum need send this general an awards for this achievement😁.
THE INTERNET TOWERS SHALL BE THE FORTRESSES THE THE REVOLT SHALL NEED. THEY SHALL NOT KILL US ALL. FOR EVERY PERSON KILLED BY THEM, THE MORE THE REVOLT BECOMES STRONGER AND THIRSTY FOR VENGEANCE.
MILITIAS MUST ARM THEMSELVES, FIGHT AGAINST THE JUNTA, FIGHT FOR PEOPLE’S RIGHTS, FIGHT FOR PEOPLE’S DEMOCRACY, FIGHT FOR LIFE.
Of course he’s going to be killed. He knew it when he gave the speech it’s why he was shaking in terror.
It was a frankly dumb thing to do.
Why is it so hard for people to understand what the UN is, and that no one can do anything about Myanmar? Why do media keep giving the CDM hope when really it’s past time for them to stop.
And why do media keep calling it a coup when it objectively isn’t one. Why can’t they report the truth, so people actually understand what’s going on in Myanmar; that is there job isn’t it?
Behind history is our own identity.Only two territory in the the world so the time will come were going back where we belong as one territory our real identity
Revels must be shot to killed! In a world where citizens and people are the owner, rebels who rebelled against humanity and human rights, they should be killed by shot in front of people where the main public square…The French Revolution executed even the king.
It has never been given the right to kill a citizen for any reason without due process.
Tell that to the millions of rohingya people that were burnt alive.
We Need Guns For Resistance
I don’t see Americans torching their defense industry when it comes to rioting against their government! Something is fishy in America!
Better charge her all available charge that they can charge.military is the law anyway but who cares.poeple of Myanmar is already feedup with the military killer without charge.
Where are the human rights council ? UN must needed to take action!!
Vetoed by the chinese
Like they did with the CCP bioweapon?
Move in the China’s CCP way….
🙏❤️ For the people of Myanmar.
These people never speak against Rohinga genocide..now they protest for democracy.. what a hypocrite
The CCP and the military are criminals
Rescue these people.
Right now.
Power to the people ✊✊✊
THE WORLD MUST KNOW:
The Tatmadaw (military) has ruled since the 1960s when Gen. U Ne Win took power by coup. Their junta was dissolved in 2011 but the Tatmadaw secured themselves by having 1/4 of the seats in parliament and by owning businesses, corporations and holdings for international trade. Some of their businesses include cigarettes, beers, tourism, telecoms, real estate, banking. They get at least $450M/yr from foreign oil companies operating in the country. The coup leader Min Aung Hlaing’s 2 adult children own 6 companies – (1) A&M Mahar Co. Ltd (2) Sky One Construction Co. (3) The Yangon Restaurant (4) The Yangon Gallery (5) Everlift Co. Ltd and (6) 7th Sense Co. Ltd. The US sanctioned these and froze the Tatmadaw account of $1B (which earns $4M a year from interest) that they attempted to move days after launching the coup due to the uprising.
Hlaing was supposed to retire in 2016 but he extended his term for 5 years more. Because he knows the ruling peo-democracy party, NLD, has very strong support from the people, he will never win the election. The NLD has always won the elections by a landslide of 82-86%
He had to launch a coup to stay in power, destroy the NLD to eliminate opposition by charging Aung San Suu Kyi and Win Myint with election fraud and other unfounded and absurd charges. He even timed the coup just days before the newly elected leaders were to be sworn in. He is obviously reviving the old authoritarian system to stay in power for as long as he wishes. The trials are done behind closed doors, hidden from the public. Aung San Suu Kyi’s lawyer is not allowed to see her in person. Hlaing unlawfully nullified the election results as well
Myanmar only enjoyed their semi-democracy for only 10 years which began in 2011, a nascent one but allowed the impoverished country to enjoy some freedom, improvement in their economy, and a more liberal economy, though much development is yet to reach the rural parts of the country.
The Tatmadaw, who violently expelled, the Rohingya also committed atrocities against the different Burmese ethnic groups for decades. Aung San Suu Kyi was placed in a very difficult situation of protecting their fragile democracy which they worked very hard to achieve at great risk since the 1980s. Because of what is going now and why, it appears Hlaing has been gradually setting her up all along and took the opportunity of committing brutal and grave atrocities against the Rohingya knowing it will be Aung San Suu Kyi who will take the fall for it and not him. Now, Hlaing and his henchmen are after other pro-democracy figures and supporters to eliminate resistance and any pursuit for democracy. One of Aung San Suu Kyi”s advisor, Ko Ni, who was a brilliant lawyer, writer and constitution expert, was assassinated in 2017 for advocating constitutional change. Last week, an NLD party official, was taken from his home in the wee hours, beaten and was dead by morning at a military hospital. Recently, duly elected officials and designated envoys that support CDM-8888 Revolution were slapped with high treason which has a penalty of death. Other key pro-democracy and NLD figures are being targeted and hunted as well. The 2008 Constitution was crafted by the Tatmadaw
This is not the first uprising in Myanmar against the Tatmadaw. At least 10,000 were killed in the 8888 Revolution of 1988, Saffron Revolution of 2007 led by the monks, and the current 22222 Spring Revolution. Many of their earlier freedom fighters were killed, tortured, jailed for years as political prisoners. Hlaing has ordered the security forces (Tatmadaw and police) to carry out crackdowns on peaceful protests with increasing violence, including the deployment of snipers, burning, looting, and night raids and arrests. As of March18, at least 200 have died and more than 2,800 were arrested and detained. In February, he ordered the release of 23,000 convicts to free up spaces for those who will be arrested. As Myanmar has a young population, many of the protesters who were killed were young adults and teenagers. Aung San Suu Kyi and President-elect Win Myint are under house arrest. It can be remembered that she was first under a long house arrest from 1989 to 2010.
Aung San Suu Kyi already had a family and a life in London but had to return to Burma to take care of her ailing mother. She witnessed the 8888 Revolution violence against the protesters where thousands died. Her pro-democracy activism and political life began since.
A parallel government has been set up by CRPH working together with duly elected leaders and envoys to counter the Tatmadaw junta of Hlaing which has no legitimacy to power. The Vice-President has been designated as Acting President to lead the country back to democracy and stability. The country saw for the first time tremendous courage, unity and resolve in the people, fighting on different fronts an unarmed struggle to end the illegitimate, repressive, authoritarian rule of Hlaing and his Tatmadaw.
You will find many materials on the internet about the facts mentioned here
World court should charge the army junta and police in Myanmar for treason and murder.
sick and tired with Dictators, imagine it’s happening in our own countries. To UN ambassadors, Have you not been blessed with comforts, safety and all to do your things?
Idiot dictators😡
Arakan people no trust Myanmar junta!!
there will be no peace until the military generals are hung from the bridges in Rangoon. They asked for their death, and they will have it. The majority of the military are the brothers, sons and fathers of the protestors. The tide will turn on the despots and they will see their demise.
what a funny accusation they made 😂
Same like a India modi media only lies..the reporter don’t have own words he watching a paper and read out whatever is written
@Gurusharan Upadhyay ki ?
China is helping the Burmese army icj icc USA And as a Burmese citizen, I am asking the world to help. Plesae nato world
Military officials are really need to put firing squad due to killing civilians
ပေးနေပါတယ_မြန်မာ တောင်းနေပါတယ်_မြန်မာ ရှိနေပါတယ်_မြန်မာ 응원합니다 기도합니다 함께합니다 prayformyanmar save_myanmar whatshappeninginmyanmar
Time to descend on jails and blast them open wide.
justice for myanmar people’s from Nepal
worlthless military
Myanmar’s rebels must be eliminated.
We need to supply weapons to the Myanmar People Army.
LOL ONLY POOR MINDS OF PEOPLE THINK OF THAT. INTIMES OF COUP OR MARTIAL LAE, ARMS IS NOT THE ANSWER TO FIGHT…
THINK OF WHAT HAPPENS IN SYRIA? OTHER RELIGIONS IS NOT WAY AS MUSLIM THOUGHT..
why?
@Shimmy Shai they are not rebels they are civilizians who are fighting for democracy. Freely and harmony.
If you give them guns then everything will be ruin and continues to fight till many decades like in Syria.
Mayanmar shall surpass this martial law like what we did in own country.
The same situations like what happened here.
Later the military will bankrupt and ousted.
No need to arms them they need to fight without guns in order to win and restore democracy.
We aseans have to be strong enough to unite as one…
@Lee Sul Maybe. But the military will keep killing and killing and killing. Something needs to meet that that will provide more serious pushback. The question is: what is that? If arming them isn’t the answer, what is? It may be a long time before it is “bankrupted”.
@Shimmy Shai that is normal in trying times, martial law become powerful if people are fighting with arms.
What you have to do is to prevent those countries who resupply the foods of military, keep foods from farmers…
If sanctions persisted in thier account they can’t do much to resupply and bankruptcy then ousted by the people power to regain democracy…
Alibis make them cleans. They shows to the people that she is really currupt, they should invistigate first before the coup? Military want to keep in power to secure their properties and China influences in Myanmar.
China feeds them with arms and foods…
Save Myanmar from terrorist army
The west SHOULDNT interfere
UN….????
“Mg Weit”is a Drug Dealer and a liar.
Wtf ! Even if the corruption charges are true doing this to people is barbaric, i my country starting from your birth certificate to death certificate everything in govt related to adminstrative, political, defence are done only with bribes even so i think our lives are better than those who are under rule by army.
I think if you want to see worst kind of people in any country you just need to meet their military 😂
Haha well said
He’s still working plz do your homework well. Thanks 🙏
PLEASE abolish the need to hv a VISA for ASEAN member countries.Thank you.
Oh yea, time to bet on human lives in the club house. Sweet.

Rubbish! Down military!
Give protesters guns
Yess protesters.. Never give up👍👍🤝👏👏💪 killed that military main captain then will arrive peace.. Lots of love, support & prayers frm northeastern India..
Japanese companies helped Myanmar’s military government with China.
Military should maintain its role as a military and not becoming a Law maker or Judge.
Happy to see Myanmar condition.. Myanmar killed innocent rohinga people
The military is killing the Rohingya. Now more than 200 Burmese have been killed. Among them are 11 Muslim Rohingya.Terrorist forces continue to kill Rohingya. Are you happy?It was not Daw Aung San Suu Kyi who killed the Rohingya. It is a terrorist army.
@Moe Ei Ei Hlaing only 2 question why Aung sung suu ki support rohinga killing that time? Why didn’t she speak the truth?
@Shimmy Shai only want justice for rohinga.. they are poor helpless innocent people.. but whole wrold ignore their existence.. as they never exist in this world.. rohinga belong to arkan state.. they should happily return to their state ..
@siekloa if rohinga is not innocent than madam Aung sung suu ki granny is a evil thing
@A C The way to do that I think is to destroy and desolate the military regime, break its back and shatter its hopes, and then after reestablishing democratic government, try and HANG the generals involved.
Min Aung is high on something
maaf”lemparin saja truus hajar teruus warga2″yg bagus yg mau mati”para pejabat yg saling rebut rakyat berisik” di kasih duit kags” rugi iyaah!!!. makasih…….
However in the seat of power can easily fabricate cases against his/her opponents. Support Myanmmar’s Democracy Movement to end Military Dictatorship.
that’s how you fight
0:10 Stop calling them “Myanmar Security Forces”. They’re the Juntas Gang of armed murderous thugs.
Agree
Kill the generals and Winnie the Pooh
Soon a country will provide them weapons and they will start a civil war. Then after victory, they will start fighting among themselves like ANA and Taleban
Junta claim election fraud but i didnt see whole country protest to reveal democracy in their country
😭😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏
China……*working in the background*
The military can’t kill the lady the people voted for… imagine the outrage it’s gonna cause… she will just be given more and more allegations and forced out of politics….
Ever feel useless?? Remember UN
The hold worked is a lies From a murder that runs the army of Myanmar
Envoy to the U. N was right… Ethnic groups fights those devil’s you can defeat them becoz Mayanmars peoples support for democracy are within the ultimate aims to restore democracy.
The three fingers. Stop taking references from the hunger games movie.
China supported the Khmer Rouge to genocide millions of Cambodians. China killed tens of thousands of civilians during the 1979 war with Vietnam. China killed hundreds of thousands of Uyghurs in Xinjiang. China killed tens of thousands of people in Lhsasa Tibet. China invaded Mongolia and assimilated them. China killed hundreds of thousands of Falun Gong practitioners and removed their organs for sale. China killed thousands of Indians in the 1962 war and occupied India’s Aksai Chin land. China has always wanted to invade Taiwan’s territory. A sovereign country recognized by the United Nations. China invaded the Russian island of Damansky and killed dozens of Russians. China killed dozens of Vietnamese soldiers who took over Hoang Sa. China kills fishermen in Southeast Asia by sinking fishing boats with military ships. China waged war and killed many Japanese fishermen on Senkaku Island. China assists the Myanmar army in killing hundreds of protesters claiming democracy, having reported on the internet the protesters’ bodies had been removed and sold to China. Where are the United Nations and major countries? Let China be raging like that? China is about to become an Asian tyrant.
Min aung hlaing is murder.
Fabrication!
When will Govt with conscience stands up and stop this murderous regime from killing its own citizens?
How will people win the gun shooters ? 🙈😿
if Trump was president he would not let people kill them !!!!!
Full support for mayanmar milatry😎😎😎😎😎 they don’t discriminate between rohingya and Buddhist 👍👌👌
Fak myanmar 🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩
Lah wes pada modar bae wes lah asu pada rebutan kekuasaan
😂🤣😂👍
This is a joke, to take pressure off her, they have gone down another road & tried making it look like they have come in for the “people” absolutely shambolic effort to charge HER for crimes against Myanmar’s Muslim people
it’s looking very familiar how they forced out the rohingya people now the country is in chaos. Good!
China’s dream of exploiting neighboring countries through economic repression, imperialist bullying, political instability should never be fulfilled
Myanmar is a strategically important location for China. Myanmar’s location makes it easy to colonize other Southeast Asian countries, makes it easier for China to enter the Indian Ocean, and keeps India in check.
