Description:
"The Committee Representing Pyidaungsu Hluttaw (CRPH) would like to express its
deep concern for the People of Myanmar who are suffering from the twin impacts of
brutal coup d’etat and severe COVID-19 crisis.
During this crisis, the junta has been undertaking inhumane actions such as arresting
the health care workers and volunteers in an unlawful manner, prohibiting community
support among people and restricting oxygen supplies for the COVID-19 patients.
The control and response interventions for COVID including the COVID Economic
Relief Plan (CERP) formerly implemented by the civilian government together with the
citizens under the leadership of President U Win Myint and State Counselor Daw Aung
San Suu Kyi has crumbled as being neglected by the junta due to their inability to
continue the implementation.
Currently, the rate of disease spreading out is dramatically high throughout the
country including in the prisons and the daily death rate is extremely worrying. The
junta must take the actions for prevention and control of the disease, tracing and
testing, and providing proper treatment to the infected patients and suspected persons
While many people are encountering the risk of losing their lives due to the third wave
of the global pandemic COVID 19, the junta fails to provide the needed support and the
right to treatment for every citizen. Moreover, the military even prevents people from
making their own efforts for their survival. This is a clear violation of human rights and
rights of citizens, and obviously is a terrible crime committed against the people of
Myanmar. Therefore, the CRPH warns that the junta must be fully responsible for all
consequent impacts resulting from the above-mentioned actions.
The CRPH stands by to work with all multilateral agencies, INGOs and individuals for
COVID response and economic relief, and the CRPH calls on all international and local
organisations for collaboration..."
