GENEVA, July 25, 2022 (BSS/AFP) - The UN human rights chief on Monday slammed
the execution of four prisoners including a former lawmaker from Aung San Suu
Kyi's party and a prominent activist as "cruel and regressive".
"I am dismayed that despite appeals from across the world, the military
conducted these executions with no regard for human rights," Michelle
Bachelet said in a statement, adding that "this cruel and regressive step is
an extension of the military's ongoing repressive campaign against its own
people".
