Detained students call on parliament to protect human rights

The detained students and activists from the democracy education boycott column appeared at the Thayawady Township court on February 2, where they called on the new NLD-dominated parliament to create new laws to protect human rights in Myanmar.

“The parliament is responsible for drawing laws and, therefore, it must amend or abolish laws hindering the progress of the country and endangering human rights. When the new government is formed, it must fulfil the people’s needs,” said student leader Phyo Phyo Aung. (Courtesy of Eleven Myanmar)
