The world needs to pay closer attention.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The words of Tom Andrews, UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in Myanmar, paint a shocking yet accurate picture of the situation in Myanmar\/Burma since the military seized power in a coup a year ago. Violations of freedom of religion or belief have increased significantly since then, with religious minorities facing daily injustice at the hands of the army.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">M\u00e1s informaci\u00f3n en <a href=\"https:\/\/www.csw.org.uk\/es\/our_work_country_burma.htm\/\" target=\"_blank\">csw.org.uk\/burma<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Sunday 30 January<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There have been widespread national protests since the military seized power last year, and the army and police have responded to protesters with violence.

Since then, the country\u2019s seen an increase in violations of freedom of religion or belief. Pray that violence and suffering would give way to peace and security, and that everyone would be given the freedoms they deserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Wednesday 2 February<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pray today for the country\u2019s political prisoners.
