The Myanmar military junta has executed four pro-democracy activists, which is the first for the nation in decades.

Among those executed were democracy campaigner Kyaw Min Yu, better known as Jimmy, and former lawmaker and hip-hop artist Phyo Zeya Thaw, an ally of ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi. The two others executed were Hla Myo Aung and Aung Thura Zaw.

A brief protest was staged in Yangon on Monday against the executions.
Plus, the United Nations’ special rapporteur on Myanmar, Tom Andrews, expressed outrage on Monday after the executions, adding that he is “fearful” of what might come next.

“The junta is despised by most people. They have no support among the population in Myanmar,” he said. “So I think the message for the people inside the country is that no one is safe – ‘There is no limit to what we will do to those who continue to oppose us.’”

Others across the global community expressed outrage and worry following the devastating incident.
