Britain, the former colonial power of Myanmar, has repeatedly condemned the repression and infringement of rights after the generals ended a decade-long experiment with democracy.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Thursday that he was “frightened” by the escalation of violence in Myanmar and called for an end to military repression in the country.
“We are calling for the immediate end of military repression with the people of Myanmar, the release of Aung San Suu Kyi and others, and the restoration of democracy,” Johnson said on Twitter, detaining Myanmar’s de-facto leader . In a February coup.
Johnson on Wednesday condemned the military takeover in Myanmar and the assassination of the deadliest pro-democracy demonstrators in the aftermath of the subsequent demolition.
Britain, the former colonial power of Myanmar, has repeatedly condemned the repression and infringement of rights after the generals ended a decade-long experiment with democracy.
Foreign Minister Dominic Rabab later tweeted about the “horrific scenes” in Myanmar.
“It is unacceptable to target your people with deadly force to exercise your right to peaceful protest. The ongoing violence and intimidation must end, ”he wrote.
The military takeover triggered a large-scale rebellion against army generals who have met with lethal force.
Last week, Britain imposed sanctions on six members of Myanmar’s military junta, including Commander-in-Chief General Min Aung Hlaing.
Sanctions will prevent six from traveling to Britain, while British businesses and institutions are prohibited from dealing with them.
19 other military personalities had already imposed such restrictions.
UK aid that could be used indirectly for aid has also been suspended.
