Myanmar: Global unions call for removal of junta-aligned human rights commission / IFJ
As Myanmar’s military continues its systematic eradication of press freedom and persecution of the country’s remaining independent media, the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) has joined seven global union federations in calling for the immediate removal of the junta-aligned Myanmar National Human Rights Commission (MNHRC) from the Southeast Asia National Human Rights Institutions Forum (SEANF). The IFJ condemns the ongoing targeting of media workers and trade unionists by Myanmar’s de facto authorities and urges the SEANF to swiftly sever ties with the MNHRC.
