Today I am calling for an immediate global ceasefire in all corners of the world.

It is time to put armed conflict on lockdown and focus together on the true fight of our lives – the #COVID19 pandemic.https://t.co/F6JRA6ekvZ pic.twitter.com/7WgtFMk5GC

Racism, xenophobia, anti-Semitism & Islamophobia are poisoning our societies. We must stand up against them. Every time. Everywhere.

I call on the Myanmar military to stop the repression immediately.

Release the prisoners. End the violence. Respect human rights, and the will of the people expressed in recent elections.

Coups have no place in our modern world.

I condemn the use of deadly violence in Myanmar.

The use of lethal force, intimidation & harassment against peaceful demonstrators is unacceptable.

Everyone has a right to peaceful assembly. I call on all parties to respect election results and return to civilian rule.
