Myanmar’s military authorities have executed four democracy activists accused of helping carry out “terror acts,” state media said on Monday, marking the Southeast Asian nation’s first executions in decades.
Myanmar’s National Unity Government , a shadow administration outlawed by the ruling military junta, condemned the reported executions.
The four had been charged under the counterterrorism law and the penal code and the punishment was carried out according to prison procedure, the paper said, without elaborating. Previous executions in Myanmar have been by hanging. “How can you say this is not justice?” he asked. “Required actions are needed to be done in the required moments.”
Myanmar’s ruling junta has condemned foreign statements about the execution orders as “reckless and interfering.” The true picture of violence has been hard to assess as clashes have spread to more remote areas where ethnic minority insurgent groups are also fighting the military.
