UN rights chief decries Myanmar junta's 'cruel' executions

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".
