Reuters spoke to two such lawmakers and to a Myanmar politician, all involved with the Committee Representing the Pyidaungsu Hluttaw
In a spartan hillside room in India, furnished only with a thin sleeping mat, the Myanmar member of Parliament (MP) spends much of his days attentively listening to Zoom conference calls and tapping away messages on his smartphone. The short, soft-spoken man is among roughly a dozen ousted Myanmar MPs who have fled across the border to India’s remote northeastern region after the Myanmar military’s February 1 coup and lethal a crackdown on dissent. Reuters spoke to two such lawmakers and to a Myanmar politician, all involved with the Committee Representing the Pyidaungsu Hluttaw (CRPH), a body of ousted lawmakers that is attempting to re-establish the civilian government and displace the military.More Related News
