Thomas H. Andrews: “Just yesterday, a 7-year-old girl was shot and killed by Burmese security forces.”

There are strong indications that the Burmese junta is engaging in crimes against humanity.

I think what needs to happen is a very tough clear sanctions policy, but more importantly, on top of that a coordinated focused diplomatic initiative and emergency summit.

The people of Burma need to know that the people of the United States and the world are with them not only in word but in deed.

Junta forces have slaughtered thousands of civilians, bombed and burned villages, and displaced millions of people.
