Date – 2024, January 31
The Independent Press Council of Myanmar is appalled and shocked by the decision of Foreign Correspondent’s Club in India (FCCI) to invite U Aye Chan, a pro-military junta figure for a talk show in New Delhi this week.
We categorically condemn this decision by FCCI and request them to honour the sacrifices of Myanmar people and independent journalists at large in defending press freedom and democracy in Myanmar.
This particular person does in no uncertain terms not represent the media community in Myanmar but rather act as a representative of the Junta regime.
These individuals have no legitimate right to represent the media community of Myanmar.
We request organizationa like FCCI to act in a more responsible manner and support the struggle of Myanmar people and particularly of journalists in defending press freedom against repression by the illegitimate military junta regime in Myanmar.
