Already 2 weeks since my Half Marathon run in support of Advance Myanmar and the work we do to support people in Burma opposing the attempted military coup. There is still time to donate: gofund.me/1557ae3f

Burma Campaign UK called on the British government to change its approach with a stronger focus on human rights, and a focus on how the Burmese military is violating numerous UN Security Council Resolutions. burmacampaign.org.uk/new-approach-n…

"We invite media to ask Shabana Mahmood to provide details of the legal routes people from Burma can use to seek asylum and safety in the UK, and to publish these details in English and Burmese on the social media of the British Embassy in Yangon." burmacampaign.org.uk/uk-burma-myanm…

Yes, I wonder what happened in Burma in 2021 that made students here apply for asylum. Maybe it was the fact that there was a military coup and the military shot protesting students openly on the streets, rather than students "gaming" the visa system? burmacampaign.org.uk/uk-burma-myanm…
Shabana Mahmood MP@ShabanaMahmood

Britain will always provide refuge to people fleeing war and persecution, but our visa system must not be abused. That is why I am taking the unprecedented decision to refuse visas for those nationals seeking to exploit our generosity.

He survived a genocide. Became a refugee. Came to the US legally for protection, only to be tased, detained, then abandoned in winter conditions. This is what happens when cruelty and indifference to human suffering becomes government policy. investigativepost.org/2026/02/25/bli…

Days since any new sanctions against the Burmese military. The Burmese military were always calculating they could outlast @FCDOGovUK interest in human rights in Burma.

Putin thinks that he can outlast the UK and our allies.    He is sorely mistaken.    Our largest sanctions package since the early months of the invasion turns the screws on Russia’s faltering war economy ⬇️

Thank you @BrendanOHaraMP for contribution to the debate on religious persecution in Myanmar "I desperately urge the Government to reassess the short-term, counterproductive and frankly inhumane decision to cut overseas aid" #contribution-AAD2543D-583C-4961-B47F-BD6BFAFE12DE" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/2026-0…

I have submitted a formal inquiry as to how the US determined that conditions in Myanmar "no longer hinder the safe return" of those with Temporary Protected Status. This not only contradicts the facts but also statements by US officials. spcommreports.ohchr.org/TMResultsBase/…

Thank you @lukeakehurst for urging the British government to start sanctioning the Burmese military again. While the British government fails to act, the Burmese military is escalating attacks against the people of Burma, bombing homes, schools and health clinics.
