A British NGO has launched a legal case against Myanmar’s coup leaders over their claim to the ambassadorial residence and attempts to evict Myanmar’s former ambassador, who opposes the regime.
U Kyaw Zwar Minn, the ex-ambassador to Myanmar, was locked out of his embassy by his deputy, U Chit Win, early last month after criticizing the regime and calling for the release of State Counselor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi.
Since its February coup, Myanmar’s military has killed more than 760 people.
