Myanmar's military authorities execute four democracy activists accused of helping carry out 'terror acts', the Southeast Asian nation's first executions in decades
Kyaw Min Yu and Phyo Zeya Thaw were executed along with two others for leading"brutal and inhumane terror acts".
The paper said the executions were carried out "under the prison's procedure" without saying when or how the four men were killed. Prominent democracy activist Kyaw Min Yu –– better known as "Jimmy" –– received the same sentence from the military tribunal. United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned the junta's decision, calling it "a blatant violation to the right to life, liberty and security of person".Thaw had been accused of orchestrating several attacks on regime forces, including a gun attack on a commuter train in Yangon in August that killed five policemen.
