Statement on the Execution of Four Democratic Activists in Myanmar

 

As media report, the Myanmar junta executed four democratic activists, Kyaw Min Yu (the important leader), Phyo Zeya Thaw (former member of parliament from NLD), Hla Myo Aung and Aung Thura Zaw. They were executed for terrorism under close judicial procedure.

The Universal Declaration on Human Rights (UDHR) and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), core international human rights instruments, have guaranteed the right to life as a non-derogable right. Under these articles, men shall not be arbitrarily deprived of their lives, even in an armed conflict and other emergency situation threatening survival of nations.

An application of an execution is a deprivation of life. It should be abolished or abstained. In addition, death penalty should not be enforced for punishing some offences, such as political protest and assembly. That violates the ICCPR.

The Union for Civil Liberty, including the undersigned organizations and people, as Thai civil society, are deeply concerned about re-enforcement of death penalty by the Myanmar junta. We strongly condemn Junta grave breach of human rights and call on the followings:

1.The Myanmar junta must cease to retain their power and promptly return power to people, as a democratic path.

2.ASEAN community should have the determined position and measure on stipulating Myanmar junta to respect ASEAN 5-Point Consensus, instantly put an end to violence and bring Myanmar back into democracy.

3.The Thai government should have explicit position on disagreement of persecution of people by Myanmar junta and join with ASEAN in restoring democracy and human rights situation in Myanmar.

4.The United Nations mechanism and international community should play much active role on putting an end to violence and supporting a restoration of democracy and human rights in Myanmar
