Executing dissenters is the ultimate act of violence

THE execution of four well-known democracy activists by the military junta in Myanmar, which was announced by the state media last month, has angered and incensed those who cherish freedom and justice all over the world.

The four, Phyo Zeyar Thaw, Kyaw Min Yu, Hla Myo Aung and Aung Thura Zaw have become immortalised in the noble struggle of the Myanmar people for their dignity and humanity. By killing these peaceful dissenters, the junta has in fact signed its own death warrant.
