📌📌 1. NUG Deputy Minister Urges Public to Participate in “Safe Schools, Safe Education” Campaign
24 July
Deputy Minister of Education under the National Unity Government (NUG), Ja Htoi Pan, has called on the public to take part in the “Safe Schools, Safe Education” campaign.
The campaign, which aims to raise USD 400,000, is scheduled to run from 15 July to 31 August. Speaking about the campaign, the Deputy Minister stated:
“Due to the military junta’s ongoing aerial assaults, especially our children—who have not yet reached adulthood—are being deprived of their fundamental right to education. The junta is deliberately destroying the country’s human capital. In order for the children of this country to be able to safely pursue their education, it is urgently necessary to establish secure schools, along with robust bomb shelters and air raid warning systems. That is why our Ministry of Education has launched the Safe Schools, Safe Education campaign.”
The Ministry of Education is urging the public to support and contribute to this campaign so that children in Myanmar can continue learning safely in schools with proper protection measures in place.

📌📌 2. Military Junta’s Violent Repression Is Clearly Not a Solution for Myanmar’s Development and Peace Process – Myanmar Ambassador to the UN
24 July
Myanmar’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ambassador Kyaw Moe Tun, has asserted that the violent crackdown and destructive machinery of the military junta are evidently not a solution for Myanmar’s development and peace-building efforts.
He made this statement during the general debate segment of the 2024 High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development under the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC).
Ambassador Kyaw Moe Tun emphasized that these annual forums provide an important opportunity for Myanmar to reflect on both its achievements and ongoing challenges in implementing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, he stressed that since the military's illegal coup attempt in 2021, Myanmar has experienced significant backsliding in previously attained development milestones.
He informed the forum that the military junta has deliberately targeted hospitals and healthcare facilities, attacking both infrastructure and health workers providing humanitarian aid, in a calculated effort to dismantle the country’s health system.
He also highlighted the military’s systematic use of both physical and digital forms of gender-based violence, including conflict-related sexual violence, which has long been employed to suppress the fundamental rights of women in Myanmar.
Furthermore, the ambassador noted the collapse of the rule of law and accountability since the illegal coup, adding that forced military conscription targeting young men has led to a concerning surge in youth fleeing the country.
Echoing the UN Secretary-General’s recent remarks, he stated that it is high time to end the bloodshed and suffering in Myanmar. Durable peace and stability, he said, are the bedrock of sustainable development and must be founded on people-centered governance, inclusive justice, and accountable institutions—key to achieving Myanmar’s 2030 development goals.
Ambassador Kyaw Moe Tun firmly added that as long as the brutal military regime remains in place, none of these conditions can be realized. He also warned that the junta’s planned fraudulent elections would not lead to any form of sustainable peace, stability, or development.
He explained to forum participants that the people of Myanmar are actively resisting the junta’s manipulative agenda on the ground through every possible means.
Finally, he urged the international community to provide meaningful support to the people of Myanmar in their ongoing efforts to dismantle the military dictatorship and build a Federal Democratic Union.

📌📌 4. UK Says It Remembers Four Democracy Activists Executed by Myanmar Military Regime
24 July
The British government has stated that it continues to remember the four democracy activists who were executed by Myanmar’s military regime three years ago.
On 23 July 2022, the military junta—which had seized power from the democratically elected government—sentenced to death and executed four prominent pro-democracy figures: Ko Jimmy, Ko Phyo Zayar Thaw, Ko Hla Myo Aung, and Ko Aung Thura Zaw by hanging. The UK government issued a statement today (24 July) acknowledging this event.
According to the statement, the UK government has not forgotten these four activists who were unjustly executed by Myanmar’s military three years ago.
The statement also expressed remembrance for all those who have tragically lost their lives in Myanmar and those who remain unjustly detained to this day.
It further noted that detainees in Myanmar continue to endure torture, ill-treatment, and denial of access to adequate medical care, underscoring the ongoing abuses inside detention centers.
The UK government reported that since the military coup, over 22,000 political prisoners have been detained in Myanmar, and nearly 7,000 have died in custody.
The statement referenced the recent deaths in custody of:
Ma Wut Yi Aung, a student union activist,
Ko Pyae Sone Aung, a political activist and member of the National League for Democracy (NLD).
It described these as tragic and deeply distressing incidents.
The UK noted that delayed or denied medical treatment was a major contributing factor in these deaths, indicating the dire conditions inside Myanmar's prisons.
The British government reiterated its call for the immediate release of all those unjustly detained, emphasizing that the military regime must respect human rights.
