On 25 February, Progressive Voice released a statement welcoming the decision of the Federal Criminal Court in Argentina, which ordered arrest warrants for 25 Myanmar military leaders and civilian government officials on 13 February 2025, including junta chief Min Aung Hlaing, former President U Htin Kyaw, and State Counsellor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi.

The statement is as follows.

We understand that the Court’s decision is a part of its ongoing investigation into genocide and crimes against humanity committed against the Rohingya in Myanmar from 2012 to 2018. We welcome this impartial and independent decision, which marks a critical moment in the long and challenging pursuit of justice for the Rohingya: This is the first time that arrest warrants have been ordered in relation to the Myanmar military’s genocide against the Rohingya in 2017.

Further, we understand that these arrest warrants are not determinative of guilt or responsibility for these international crimes, but instead aim to summon the 25 named individuals to testify before the Court as part of its investigation. We believe these individuals will be treated in accordance with standards of international justice, including the affordance of due process and the opportunity to present evidence in their defense.

We firmly believe that impartiality is fundamental to achieve justice and accountability, not only for the Rohingya but for all people of Myanmar. We call on the Argentine government to request Interpol to issue Red Notices for the 25 named individuals to initiate their extradition to Argentina.
