Already suffering under military rule since the February military coup, Myanmar is now experiencing an escalating COVID-19 outbreak, reaching nearly 3,000 new cases per day.
The Presbyterian Church Myanmar (PCM) is asking for solidarity and prayer as Myanmar’s military uses machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades to attack peaceful protestors.
As the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the U.S.A. has been consistent in its history regarding the affirmation of peace with justice and reconciliation among peoples and countries, we denounce the military coup d’etat in Myanmar and stand with the people of Myanmar in their efforts to achieve peace, democracy, and freedom.
