Myanmar’s UN ambassador has condemned the military coup in his country and appealed for “the strongest possible action from the international community” to restore democracy.
Ambassador Kyaw Moe Tun’s dramatic speech to the UN General Assembly on Friday drew loud applause from diplomats from the world body’s 193 nations.
Mr Tun urged all countries to issue public statements strongly condemning the military coup and refuse to recognise the military regime and ask its leaders to respect the free and fair elections in November won by Aung San Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy party.
“It is time for the military to immediately relinquish power and release those detained,” he said. “We will continue to fight for a government which is of the people, by the people, for the people.”
