Myanmar Junta Executes Pro-Democracy Activists

“Myanmar’s military junta has executed four pro-democracy activists, carrying out its first death sentences in more than three decades and defying international appeals for restraint,” the Washington Post reports.

“The deaths of the activists, including two of the most prominent leaders of the resistance, sent shock waves through the country Monday and was seen as the junta’s latest attempt to instill terror since violently seizing power last year.”
