The military regime has issued an arrest warrant for the international envoy for Myanmar’s overthrown civilian government, charging him with high treason over what it said were his efforts to topple the coup leaders.
On Tuesday, military-controlled MRTV announced that Dr. Sa Sa had been charged with high treason under Section 122(2) of the Criminal Code for accepting an appointment as Myanmar’s representative to the UN by the Committee Representing Pyidaungsu Hluttaw (CRPH). The CRPH was formed by elected lawmakers from the National league for Democracy (NLD) who were prevented from taking seats in the Union Parliament by the Feb. 1 coup. T
