Myanmar's Military executes four democracy activists including ex-MP

Four democracy activists have been executed by Myanmar's military in what is believed to be the first use of capital punishment in decades. The four - including activist Ko Jimmy and lawmaker Phyo Zeya Thaw - were accused of committing "terror acts". They were sentenced to death in a closed-door trial that rights groups criticised as being unjust. Pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi was very sad after hearing the news, a source told the BBC's Burmese Service. Ms Suu Kyi, the leader of the National League for Democracy (NLD) party, did not make any comments, the source added. She was arrested in February 2021, following an army-led coup. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken condemned the executions in Myanmar, which is also known as Burma. Malaysian Foreign Minister Saifuddin Abdullah said Myanmar should be barred from sending political representatives to any international ministerial level meetings. He was joined by the United Nations' Special Envoy for Myanmar, Noeleen Heyzer, who said it was a "blatant violation to the right to life, liberty and security of person.” A junta spokesperson has said the men were given due process and insisted those executed were not democracy activists, but killers deserving of their punishment.
