Myanmar junta says had ‘nothing to do’ with UN envoy plot

NAYPYITAW, 11 August 2021, (TON): Myanmar's junta had "nothing to do" with an alleged plot to attack the country's ambassador to the UN Kyaw Moe Tun, who has defied the military and backed the pro-democracy movement, state-backed Global New Light of Myanmar newspaper said yesterday.

Last week United States prosecutors said they had charged two Myanmar citizens over an alleged plot to hire hitmen who would force him to resign or, if he refused, kill him. Suspects Phyo Hein Htut, 28, and Ye Hein Zaw, 20, are being charged in a federal court on counts for which they could be sentenced to up to five years in prison.
