Senior UN official calls on Myanmar authorities to investigate the reported killing of at least 35 civilians that opposition activists say was carried out by government soldiers.
Griffiths called for “a thorough and transparent” investigation so the perpetrators could be brought to justice.The Save the Children aid group said two of its workers, traveling to their home villages for the year-end holiday, had been killed by the Myanmar military in the attack. It suspended operations in Kayah State and parts of neighboring Karen State and the Magway region.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken condemned the attacks and called on the international community to end the sale of arms and dual-use technology to the Myanmar military in an effort to prevent the “recurrence of atrocities.” They said details were sketchy but it appeared the victims had been in vehicles, including at least one truck, that were stopped on a road. They were killed and the bodies set ablaze, the residents and the rights group said.
