Myanmar’s ambassador to UK locked out of embassy ‘by deputy’
Kyaw Zwar Minn says ‘it’s a kind of coup’, while sources say deputy has taken charge on behalf of military
Myanmar’s ambassador to London has been locked out of the country’s embassy – apparently by his deputy, who was reported to have taken charge on behalf of the military.
Since a military coup in February, Myanmar’s army has launched a harsh crackdown on pro-democracy protesters and has been accused of hundreds of extrajudicial executions as well as torture and illegal detentions.
