After 12 die in one of the bloodiest days since the military takeover, UN expert says junta’s crackdown amounts to ‘crimes against humanity’
The British government has urged its citizens to flee Myanmar after one of the bloodiest days since February’s coup left at least 12 people dead amid an increasingly violent crackdown by the military regime.
The UK Foreign Office released advice on Friday for British nationals to leave the troubled south-east Asian country if they could, warning that “political tension and unrest are widespread since the military takeover and levels of violence are rising”.
