(ANSA) - ROME, MARCH 27 - "The continuous refusal of the member states of the United Nations Security Council to act in a meaningful way against this endless horror is despicable": said Ming Yu Hah, regional deputy director for campaigns of Amnesty International, specifying that "The killing of nearly 100 people in Burma today is just the latest example of the military authorities 'determination to eliminate national resistance to the coup. These horrific killings once again show the generals' blatant disdain for the inadequate pressure exerted so far by the international community." .
"The cost of international inaction - he continued - is counted in the bodies, including children shot dead in their homes. Amidst the horrific death toll is a nation of over 50 million people held hostage," subjected to arbitrary arrest and 360-degree surveillance, living in fear of death and torture ".
"The people of Myanmar continue to protest, all while mourning more and more killings by the hour - he continued -. Lenations who participated today in the events of the Day of the Armed Forces of the military in the capital Naypyidaw, in particular China and Russia, are the same states who have protected the Tatmadaw (the Burmese army) from responsibility over and over again, providing them with the means to carry out a mass slaughter.
