THE STUDENT Council Alliance of the Philippines expressed its solidarity with the Myanmar people and aired its support to the country’s democratic forces.

Myanmar’s elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi and other officials were recently detained by the military following a coup.

“We, the Student Council Alliance of the Philippines…express our solidarity to Myanmar and its people in support to uphold all democratic processes of the country. Moreover, we uphold the people of Myanmar’s overwhelming support to the democratic process of their country that transpired last November 8 elections,” the group said on Facebook.

It also condemned the military’s attack against the democracy of Myanmar and called for international support to free the country.

“As we support the people of Myanmar, we call on the international community to take a stand against this military coup and have immediate actions to protect and safeguard the people of Myanmar and all democratic processes in Myanmar. An attack to the people of Myanmar is an attack to all democratic institutions,” the group added.
