Stop coup d'etat in Myanmar

Mar 6, 2024 Today, we are holding a demonstration for liberal democracy and human rights, in front of the Myanmar's Military Embassy. This is the campaign against a military coup in Myanmar. We oppose dictatorship and the policy of the military interference in the country. This is also a 4th year of military coup. On February 1, 2021, the military coup d'etat and destroyed a democracy. The country’s successive rulers, Myanmar military governments, had never implemented the democracy and had not respected the protesters voice.

In 2008, the military government deliberately drafted a constitution in order to keep military control over the country, which is against the principle of the Panglong agreement, such as a 25% quota on seats for the military in parliament. Several ethnic groups requested that the draft constitution be a genuine one ahead of its creation. However, the military government flatly rejected this proposal.

Military government continued conflict with ethnic minority in peripheral areas and human rights violations. It is clear that the Myanmar military’s attitude has been shown to be deceitful with regards to its country’s people and before the international community. Therefore, we, the Liberal Democracy Movement of Burma, demand that the Myanmar dictatorship ruler:

The political issues: 1. Stop coup in Myanmar and restore a liberal democracy system in Myanmar. 2. Stop military interference in civilian government. Remove 25 % quota seats at the parliament which are also forcedly guaranteed by the constitution. 3. Immediately cease its human rights violations and religious repression in the peripheral of the country.

The economic issues: 1. Relief the country from economic oppression. Economic should be a priority as similar as to the security issue. Eliminate all restrictions on economic development. 2. Open a room for international experts (policy analysis/Think-tank) for the country development.

Furthermore, we ask that the government of the Republic of Korea and the international community show staunch support for the cause of liberal democracy in Myanmar. We also ask for a greater support for the ethnic victims of the repression and violence in Myanmar. Here in South Korea, Koreans should show solidarity for our democracy movement instead of discrimination.
