Myanmar, July 25

Myanmar’s ruling military executed four democracy activists accused of helping to carry out “terror acts,” it said on Monday, sparking condemnation of the Southeast Asian nation’s first executions in decades.

Sentenced to death in closed-door trials in January and April, the men had been accused of helping a resistance movement to fight the army that seized power in a coup last year.

Myanmar’s National Unity Government, a shadow administration outlawed by the junta, called for international action against the military. — Reuters
