Yangon, Myanmar – Some 100 Myanmar diplomats supporting a civil disobedience movement in opposition to the Feb. 1 military coup have been ordered to return to the country by the junta, according to a leaked internal document.
But some of the diplomats did not follow the order and continue to stay in their countries of assignment, speaking out in support of democracy forces in Myanmar.
