United Nations Demands Release Of Myanmar Political Prisoners

MDR Aktuell Naypyidaw 11d11d Impact 8
The United Nations has called for the release of all political prisoners in Myanmar. The UN stated that a viable political solution requires an immediate end to violence and inclusive dialogue involving all parties. Myanmar has been in a state of civil war since the military coup, resulting in thousands of deaths and millions of displaced people. The military-led government held elections earlier this year. Myanmar state media reports the transfer of Su Qi, described by a foreign ministry briefing as an old friend of China. Speculation exists that the transfer followed a recent visit by the Chinese foreign minister to Myanmar. Civil war has persisted in large parts of the country since the military coup. Thousands have already been affected by the ongoing conflict.
