Readers should not be distract by a line at the end of my story incorrectly said MAH went to China. The thrust of the piece is a very powerful plea by Dr Sa Sa (the CRPH envoy to the UN) to the international community.

Spent a wonderful four hours with RCSS chairman Yawk Serk, including a relaxed lunch. But he is strong in his interview: the Myanmar military must be held accountable for their crimes against humanity. And offers guarded support to the CRPH. Read my report In Irrawaddy.

Myanmar’s military have detained over 80 journalists. Amongst them are two close friends and colleagues at Kamayut media: Nathan Maung and Hanthar Nyein. During their interrogation they have been badly tortured while being interrogated. cpj.org/2021/05/cpj-ca…

My colleague and close friend Nathan Maung chief editor of Kamayut media has been released and will be deported to the US tomorrow. Unfortunately Hanthar Nyein his co-editor remains in detention.

Despite the need for international intervention and the universal condemnation of the violence and bloodshed in Myanmar caused by the Tatmadaw, country’s civil war is set to deepen and the conflict at an impasse. See my take: bangkokpost.com/opinion/opinio…
