YANGON: Myanmar’s junta leader Min Aung Hlaing (pic) made a rare apology to a prominent Buddhist monastery after its abbot was killed by security forces last week, a development that could trigger widespread protests among the monks who traditionally support the military.
Minister of Religious Affairs and Culture Tin Oo Lwin read out the junta chief’s letter in a live broadcast on the Win Neinmitayon Monastery’s Facebook page late Monday (June 24). Investigations are underway and "action will be seriously taken,” he said.
