I would like to respond to the request that was sent out last week regarding gathering of evidence to accuse the junta of genocide.

The tried-and-true method of SPDC is like a broken record. They will always resort to spreading the same old story of a group of Muslim men allegedly gang-raping a Buddhist girl. Who knows? Maybe the SPDC agents themselves rape the girl or maybe they trick a few young Muslim men [...]

 Â
I heard..
The door’s shut,
