GENEVA, March 4 (dpa): The UN human rights office has strongly condemned violence carried out by the military dictatorship in Myanmar against opponents of the regime.
"Two years after the military launched a coup, the generals have embarked on a scorched earth policy in an attempt to stamp out opposition," the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk, said in Geneva on Friday. "Urgent, concrete action is needed to end this festering catastrophe."
