A severe indictment from the UN’s human rights investigator on Myanmar, who says the new military regime is likely committing crimes against humanity with its deadly crackdown on people protesting last month’s coup. Special Rapporteur Tom Andrews told the UN Human Rights Council that the military junta had murdered at least 70 people, and that more than 2,000 have been unlawfully detained. He’s calling for sanctions against the country’s military leaders. His comments followed news that nine protesters were killed by security forces on Thursday – leaving more families mourning the loss of loved ones.
