In the statement it said hundreds of deaths
and injuries were caused by “the recent efforts of the Myanmar military to
suppress nonviolent protests” and highlights that “no conflict of interest can
justify violence against civilians, and no interest of any group can prevail
over human life.”
HWPL asked all parties in Myanmar to “resolve
the crisis through consensus based on mutual respect and understanding” and
“engage in dialogue to seek a peaceful resolution.” HWPL also asked people
around the world to “to issue statements urging authorities and civilians in Myanmar to pursue dialogue and seek a peaceful solution
in order to restore peace to the country.”
“
The number of
deaths from protests exceeded 200, and more than 2,000 people have been
arrested by the military.” Kasauh Mon, CEO of Mon News Agency, a Myanmar-based
journalist, said in a statement.
“We are very
pleased with HWPL and the
Korean’s support for our democracy and peace movement. Currently, we are
calling on the international community to call for an end against the military
regime, in order to stop their brutality against peaceful demonstrators,
”
he continued.
For the past five years, this
international civil society advocacy for peacebuilding led by HWPL has shown
support and initiatives at the national and international levels.
The
organization has collected over 730,000 letters written by citizens in 176
countries to call for development of peace in each country, expressing support
and participation by governments and social leaders.

wow this peace work is interesting
ReplyDeleteMany heads of state - both existing and former - have publicly declared their support for HWPL's Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW), citing it as the only solution to ceasing all conflict and achieving peace on a global scale. I truly believe peace will be restored in Myanmar and other conflict-ridden nations through HWPL soon. May peace prevail!
ReplyDeleteWoww peace seems so impossible to achieve, but seeing people really try like this is absolutely inspiring! I think it can be done for sure!
