CRPH Announcement No.33/2021

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..."
