PETALING JAYA: Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) have started their AFC Champions League (ACL) Elite campaign with a point. The Southern Tigers were held 2-2 by Chinese club Shanghai Port at the Pudong Olympic Stadium in Shanghai on Wednesday (Sept 18).

GENEVA: The United Nations on Tuesday provided accounts of horrifying torture and an overall worsening rights situation in Myanmar , amid intensifying hostilities and the absence of rule of law.

"Myanmar military has created the crisis by instrumentalising the legal system, criminalising nearly all forms of dissent against its attempts to rule the country," he said. Since the coup, at least 5,350 civilians have been killed and more than 3.3 million displaced, while nearly 27,4000 people have been arrested, Tuesday's report said.
