G7 Foreign Ministers demand withdrawal of emergency in Myanmar



The G7 Foreign Ministers on Wednesday called upon the Myanmar military to immediately end the state of emergency, restore power to the democratically-elected government, to release all those unjustly detained and respect human rights and the rule of law.

The G7 Foreign Ministers of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States of America and the High Representative of the European Union, got united in condemning the coup in Myanmar."The November election results must be respected and Parliament should be convened at the earliest opportunity," they said in a statement, reports UNB.
They said they are deeply concerned by the detention of political leaders and civil society activists, including State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi and President Win Myint, and targeting of the media, according to Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office.

The military's restrictions on information flows are deeply concerning, they said.

"Civilians, including civil society and the media, must not be subject to reprisals in any form. We also call for unrestricted humanitarian access to support the most vulnerable."

The G7 Foreign Ministers recalled their 2019 communique in which "we restated our commitment to Myanmar's democratic transition, peace and accountability for human rights violations and abuses. We stand with the people of Myanmar who want to see a democratic future."
