LONDON - Britain said on Sunday that escalating violence against protesters in Myanmar was abhorrent and it called on the country’s military leaders to restore democracy.
Myanmar police fired on protesters earlier on Sunday in the bloodiest day of weeks of demonstrations against a coup and at least 18 people were killed, the U.N. human rights office said. “Working with the U.S. and Canada, the UK has taken action by imposing human rights sanctions against nine Myanmar military officers, including the commander-in-chief, for their role in the coup,” a spokeswoman for Britain’s Foreign Office said.Writing by William Schomberg; Editing by David Clarke
