Shamini Darshni Kaliemuthu, Executive Director at FORUM-ASIA, says international intervention is key.
“Without the intervention of the international community. we believe that the violence will continue to escalate.”
In recent weeks, street protests have faded as a tactic in the face of rising deaths as police and soldiers have shot live fire into crowds and indiscriminately detained people. According to the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners, some 250 protesters have been killed by security forces since the coup and more than 2,600 have been arrested, charged or sentenced to prison.
