To Sky News, he said he only wanted Myanmar officials not to beat, torture and detain demonstrators.
“Because these protesters did nothing bad, they just shouted slogans,” he said.
Just then, one of the policemen replied to ask Sister Ann to stay away, because they had to do their job.
“I said ‘no. If you want to do it, then you have to pass me first’,” he said.
