Every day members of Burma’s ethnic minorities deal with the very real threat of being forced into slave labour, murdered or raped.
Meanwhile, government forces and armed groups continue to carry out violence without any risk of being held to account.
Watch a video about these human rights abuses and join the call for justice
Following an update in 2008, Burma’s constitution outlaws freedom of speech and assembly, legalises enforced labour and essentially protects government officials from prosecution for violating human rights - closing the door to justice for victims.
So while brave individuals who stand up and call for reform are often arrested without warrant and held incommunicado, those who commit human rights abuses are unlikely to ever face imprisonment. Help hold these criminals to account
The Burmese authorities have shown themselves unwilling to investigate crimes against humanity. It is time for the international community to take a stand. We have joined the call for a UN Commission of Inquiry into human rights violations in Burma.
Please add your voice to ours.http://action.amnesty.org.uk/ea-action/action?ea.client.id=1194&ea.campaign.id=11503&utm_source=email&utm_medium=mass_email&utm_campaign=Burma&utm_content=Burma_COI_image
Act now: urge European countries to support a Commission of Inquiry
Thank you for your support
