“We unequivocally condemn the expulsion of the Timorese diplomat by the illegal Myanmar junta and we stand in solidarity with Timor-Leste, who have clearly been targeted by the junta for their support of the Myanmar pro-democracy movement.”

“The Myanmar junta has once again shown its pettiness and vindictiveness by bullying a country simply for having the temerity to openly engage with the democratically-elected National Unity Government. It is clear that the junta has no intention of participating in any dialogue on a peaceful, democratic, and inclusive resolution to the ongoing conflict in the country.”

“We call on other countries in Southeast Asia and beyond to follow Timor-Leste's example in taking a strong, public stance in supporting the pro-democracy movement in Myanmar. The fact that one of the world’s youngest democracies, with a population of less than two million people, has boldly done what its much larger and purportedly more powerful neighbors have not, puts the international community to shame.”
