By Francis Khoo Thwe Demonstrations against the military coup d'état and for the liberation of democratic leaders are multiplying daily, with many cross-sections of the population taking part. Meanwhile, last night the UN Commission for Human Rights managed to pass a resolution calling for the immediate release of the members of the civilian government. A tougher resolution against the junta had found opposition from Russia and China. After the milder resolution was passed, Chinese Ambassador Chen Xu thanked the members for "adopting our recommendations", but also said that China would not follow the proposed recommendations. The UN spokesman, Stephane Dujarric, said the resolution demands "for the full respect of the democratic will of the people of Myanmar as well as full respect of their human rights", and demands that the military government guarantee freedom of speech and political rights, removing any internet censorship.
