People of Myanmar in ‘great peril’, UN told as police clash with protesters
Human rights council meets as police fire rubber bullets in south-eastern city of Mawlamyine
The UN human rights council has been told the people of Myanmar are in “great peril” after police clashed with protesters and fired rubber bullets at crowds in a south-eastern city on the largest day of demonstrations so far against the military coup.
The use of force in Mawlamyine left at least three people wounded and came as the UN human rights council held a special session in Geneva to discuss the crisis.
