PHNOM PENH, Aug 4 ― Current Asean chair Cambodia warned Myanmar yesterday not to execute any more prisoners after the hanging of four people ― two of them prominent pro-democracy figures ― caused international outrage.
Myanmar executed four prisoners last month in a move roundly condemned by Asean members, who are voicing increased frustration at the lack of progress on the bloc's “five-point consensus” plan on Myanmar's conflict. Hun Sen said the bloc was “disappointed and disturbed by the execution of these opposition activists despite the appeals from me and others for the death sentences to be reconsidered for the sake of political dialogue, peace and reconciliation”.Malaysia, which has led efforts to get tough on Myanmar's junta, told reporters there must be progress before the Asean leaders summit in November.
“They are making a mockery of the five-point consensus, there is no respect to the Asean leaders, there is no respect to the Asean chair,” he told reporters.
