Lawyering in #Myanmar can be a very risky business. Big shout out to those courageous lawyers seeking to support those detained by the repressive, murderous, terrorizing regime. We support you. #legalaid #humanrights @DignityDK https://t.co/aoYcJuuIf1

Thousands of civilians were detained illegally by military. However, many lawyers helped to free the detainees. We appreciate their efforts n a sincere gratitude to all these lawyers.
