ASEAN ‘troubled’ over Myanmar military’s execution of opponents

Cambodia, the current chair of the regional grouping, says timing of the hangings, ahead of an ASEAN ministerial meeting, is ‘highly reprehensible’.

Myanmar announced on Monday it had hanged Phyo Zeya Thaw, a former legislator from Aung San Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy, and prominent democracy activist Kyaw Min Yu after they were found guilty in a closed-door trial that rights groups said lacked credibility.

Two other men, Hla Myo Aung and Aung Thura Zaw, were executed for allegedly killing a woman they had accused of being a military informant.
