UN Security Council condemns Myanmar executions

BANGKOK, 29 July 2022, (TON): The UN Security Council has condemned the Myanmar junta’s execution of four prisoners, drawing praise from a shadow government of ousted Myanmar lawmakers.

In a rare consensus on the post-coup crisis, the Security Council released a statement condemning the executions, Myanmar’s first in decades and calling for the immediate release of ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi.

The Council said “the members of the Security Council condemned the Myanmar military’s execution of opposition activists over the weekend.”

“They recalled the Secretary-General’s statement of 25 July 2022 and echoed his call for the immediate release of all arbitrarily detained prisoners.”
