Myanmar’s use of lethal weapons against unarmed civilians ‘inexcusable’: MFA, Singapore News & Top Stories – The Straits Times

SINGAPORE – The use of lethal weapons against unarmed civilians by Myanmar’s security forces during protests is inexcusable, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) said in a statement on Saturday (Feb 20).

“We are dismayed by the reports of civilian casualties following the use of lethal force by security forces against demonstrators in Myanmar. The use of lethal weapons against unarmed civilians is inexcusable,” said MFA.

“We strongly urge the security forces to exercise utmost restraint to avoid further injuries and loss of lives, and take immediate steps to de-escalate the situation and restore calm. The authorities must prevent further violence and bloodshed.”

It’s a new dawn It’s a new day It’s a new life For me And I feel good.

” Esse mundo velho

É um mundo novo

É um mundo corajoso

Para mim

Estrelas quando brilham, vocês sabem como eu me sinto

Aroma do Pinheiro, você sabe como eu me sinto

Ah,, a liberdade é minha

E eu sei como me sinto

É um novo amanhecer

É um novo dia

É uma nova vida

Para mim

E eu me sinto bem.”

Nina Simone. Feeling Good.

Prominent Harvard professor pilloried for peddling revisionist history about wartime ‘comfort women’ · Global Voices

A team of five professional historians, all with deep knowledge of organized sexual slavery and the “comfort women issue,” published an open letter that focuses on the academic integrity of Ramseyer’s recent IRLE article.

mbc concerned scholars

The five historians who reviewed Ramseyer’s IRLE journal article, interviewed on Korean televison. Screencap from MBC website.

Their letter, at 33 pages, is four times as long as Ramseyer’s eight-page IRLE article, and carefully examines every aspect of Ramseyer’s article, with particular focus on his sources.

Asserting that Ramseyer mischaracterized, distorted and misrepresented sources, the historians questioned the fundamental academic integrity of the journal article, and called on IRLE to retract it:

Its inaccuracies are more than superficial errors; they completely undermine the article’s claims. […] We believe that an article containing this level of academic misconduct should not have passed peer review, or have been published in an academic journal.
