Myanmar expels East Timor's diplomat over war crimes case


Myanmar's junta has announced the ejection of East Timor's top representative in the country, after a rights group said Dili had opened a legal case against the military for war crimes. According to the CHRO, its case against the junta includes "irrefutable evidence" of gang rape, a massacre of ten people, the slaughter of religious officials and a hospital air strike. The junta previously expelled East Timor's top diplomat in August 2023, over a meeting his government held with a banned shadow administration founded in the aftermath of the coup.
