“The Confederation of Trade Unions Myanmar CTUM calls for comprehensive sanction”, 06 March 2021

The people’s movement against the military regime … has continued all over Burma for a month and is still continuing.

[…]

… [W]e request … a harsh comprehensive sanction that can finish off the regime and its structure.

It will hurt everybody. More the grassroots, the daily income people. And these are the people who die now for want of change… After suffering abuse of the eco-social system by the military over 5 decades, now facing death from bullets shot by out own military in our own homes… we now call for clear cut international sanctions on the country.

We know that Comprehensive Sanctions now will make the country suffer and struggle for another five years of eco social hardship.

We will struggle – free from the yoke of the military, free from the threat of a coup, happily knowing we are rid of these military thugs and their “we hold weapons, we can do whatever, whenever we want” insolence, their doctrine and practice.

And that is the only way, to rebuild Burma from scratch- without any interference from the military.
