On 3 June, a joint statement was released in collaboration with over 25 faith-based humanitarian actors worldwide. They vowed not to remain silent in the face of violence in Myanmar. They expressed deep concern that the violence has caused increased suffering and is triggering large-scale displacement.
“Since the events of February 01, 2021, we have viewed with deepening concern the mounting humanitarian needs and spiraling disregard for human rights that impact most heavily our most vulnerable sisters and brothers,” says the statement, an initiative of the Jesuit Refugee Service.
