Within South Korea&#8217;s political circles, he is known for publicly raising the three-finger salute in solidarity with Myanmar&#8217;s people and for his vocal condemnation of the brutal military junta. He has notably extended meaningful assistance to the \u201cMyanmar Network Organization,\u201d a major ally of the Committee Against the Coup (Korea), one of the most active Myanmar pro-democracy support groups operating within South Korea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the Democratic Party&#8217;s leader, Lee Jae-myung is currently the frontrunner with a 99% likelihood of winning the 21st presidential election of South Korea. His steadfast support for Myanmar\u2019s Spring Revolution is recognized as highly commendable and deeply appreciated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On May 18, 2024, during the commemoration ceremony of the May 18 Gwangju Democratic Uprising held in Gwangju City, Union Minister Daw Zin Mar Aung of the NUG Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Union Minister U Tin Tun Naing of the Ministry of Planning, Finance and Investment met with Lee Jae-myung. During this meeting, he reaffirmed his commitment to continue supporting Myanmar\u2019s democratic cause in a sincere and open manner. It is understood that Lee Jae-myung currently serves both as a Member of Parliament and as the Chairman of his party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>========================<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udccc\ud83d\udccc&nbsp;<strong>2.

She emphasized that judges must not only implement legal proceedings in accordance with the law, but also ensure that the truth is established and made known to the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She specifically underscored the importance of exercising increased attention and responsibility when dealing with matters related to various organizations. She noted that while judges have been fulfilling their duties lawfully and truthfully, misunderstandings by certain organizations regarding the legal process have resulted in inappropriate reactions, creating difficulties for township judges who are left to mediate and resolve such conflicts. She therefore called for heightened caution and care in managing these matters going forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following this, officials from the Department of Procedures provided practical training for township judges, demonstrating how to accurately complete official court documentation formats commonly used in daily legal proceedings, using sample templates for clarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>========================<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udccc\ud83d\udccc&nbsp;<strong>3.

STLM owns and operates Myanmar National Television (MNTV), and is a subsidiary of the Shwe Thanlwin Group. STLM was also named in an independent international fact-finding mission\u2019s report as a company with direct ties to the Myanmar military regime, noting that in 2017, it participated in a donation campaign organized by the military to support the so-called \u201cclearance operations\u201d against the Rohingya\u2014a campaign widely recognized as ethnic cleansing and genocide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The inquiry underscores mounting concerns over continued foreign investments in companies linked to the Myanmar military regime and calls on Japanese institutions to clarify and reconsider such financial relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>========================<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udccc\ud83d\udccc&nbsp;<strong>4.

The campaign seeks to ensure that aid reaches earthquake-affected populations directly and fairly, without being diverted or militarized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to&nbsp;<strong>Justice for Myanmar<\/strong>, the campaign will call upon international governments, ASEAN, UN agencies, and international non-governmental organizations (INGOs) to take coordinated action that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Prevents the misuse of humanitarian aid by the junta;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Guarantees equitable and direct delivery of assistance to affected communities; and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Develops mechanisms to halt the weaponization of humanitarian assistance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The campaign will be jointly organized by local and international revolutionary forces and civil society organizations, and will be carried out throughout the&nbsp;<strong>month of June<\/strong>, from the first week to the final week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Objectives of the \u201cSTOP WoA\u201d Campaign:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Expose the Misuse of Earthquake Relief<\/strong>: To reveal how the Myanmar military junta has exploited humanitarian aid\u2014including materials meant for rescue and relief during the 2025 Sagaing earthquake\u2014for its own political and military purposes, treating aid as a weapon for control and profit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hold Enablers Accountable<\/strong>: To urge and mobilize against organizations, governments, and individuals who knowingly or unknowingly enable such abuses, demanding that they cease all forms of complicity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Prevent Repetition of Historical Abuses<\/strong>: To prevent the recurrence of exploitative practices witnessed during past disasters such as\u00a0<strong>Cyclone Nargis (2008)<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Cyclone Mocha (2023)<\/strong>, and\u00a0<strong>Cyclone Ragu (2024)<\/strong>, where the junta capitalized on public suffering for its own gain.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>The campaign warns that the military junta is now planning to&nbsp;<strong>stage sham elections<\/strong>&nbsp;and could again seek to weaponize humanitarian aid to legitimize its political agenda.
