Growing international criticism of Myanmar deaths

Newsday

Available for over a year

The army extends its clampdown during the most deadly weekend since the coup - but the protesters refuse to end their demonstrations. Aung San Syu Kyi is due back in court today. Italy's government is stepping up its pandemic response after a surge in infections. It comes a year after Covid first hit the country hard. And British politicians are due to vote on a new law that hands the police and home secretary greater powers to control protests. It comes as the police face criticism for their handling of women taking part in a vigil for a murder victim.
