Kyaw Zwar Minn became an international cause celebre last month when he was locked out of his embassy by his deputy, Chit Win, after breaking ranks with the military and calling for the release of Myanmar’s deposed civilian leader, Aung San Suu Kyi. The embassy is now run by Chit Win in the role of chargé d’affaires, as the UK will not recognise him as ambassador. Chit Win is trying to compel Kyaw Zwar Minn to leave the ambassador’s official residence in Hampstead, north London.
