Canada’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Marc Garneau issued a statement voicing support for people protesting against the military coup in Burma (also known as Myanmar) last month.

“Canada is deeply concerned by and unequivocally condemns the Myanmar military’s recent use of force against peaceful protesters, and demands that the Tatmadaw immediately stop using violence against its own people,” Garneau said in a statement on Sunday.
