Myanmar Military Executes Four Pro-Democracy Activists
New York TimesMAR 21 2022
These four individuals were violent extremists who were found guilty through a fair judicial process and were punished for participating in terrorism against the state. They aided militias fighting the country's military and two of them murdered a woman just because she was supporting the government.
These executions show the lengths to which the current regime will go in its attempt to return Myanmar to military rule. They know that their citizens are against this illegitimate regime, which is why the junta is seeking to execute opposition leaders and scare dissidents away. The international community must continue to take a firm stance against these atrocities.
