Human Rights Watch deeply regrets that a joint NGO letter on the United Nations Transforming Education Summit was sent by Human Rights Watch on behalf of the other organizations to Myanmar military coup leader Sr. Gen. Min Aung Hlaing and copied to other junta officials. The letter was sent to 193 UN member states as part of an education campaign but unfortunately addressed to Min Aung Hlaing without the knowledge or consent of the partner organizations that were listed or Human Rights Watch staff working on Myanmar. This administrative error should not be construed to imply in any way that Human Rights Watch recognizes the junta as the legitimate government of Myanmar. Human Rights Watch apologizes for this error and formally withdraws the communication to Min Aung Hlaing.
