The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has with indignation received reports of the escalation of violence by the armed forces against the population of Myanmar, which has claimed more than 50 victims, including women and monks, over the past weekend. We reiterate and urge the military regime to immediately end all violence against peaceful protests and hand over the country's leadership to the legitimate government. The Czech Republic remains ready to participate with all means in international efforts to return Myanmar to the path to democracy. We stand with the people of Myanmar.
