Emergency Call to Action
Stop the Killing of Innocent Civilians in Myanmar!!!
Our Franciscans in Myanmar have witnessed firsthand the brutality of the security forces and the insecurity this has created.
We join the Myanmar people in their struggle for self-determination under a duly elected government. We are united with them in demanding for a peaceful resolution to the military take-over.
The JPIC Commission of the Korean OFM Province and 17 civil society organizations were running a campaign to stop the coup in Myanmar.
Even now, refugees continue to arrive almost daily, making the dangerous crossing from Turkey by the Aegean Sea. In winter the sea is very rough and many drowned.
