There are reports that the Myanmar military, which took power in a coup, summoned about 100 people from diplomatic missions in 19 countries.
Myanmar local media, Irrawaddy, cited the leaked document and reported that the military government issued orders to summon at least 100 diplomatic mission officials from 19 countries, including South Korea, the United States, China, the United Kingdom, Japan, France, and Australia the day before.
It was reported that the document also indicated an instruction to transfer more than 50 employees of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to positions that were vacant due to their summons.
This is an incident when the UN Ambassador Cho Mo Tun called for the immediate end of the coup and the support of the international community, saying he represents a civilian government led by the National League for Democracy and Peoples (NLD) elected by the people at the UN General Assembly on the 26th of last month. ‘After that, the media explained.
Ambassador Cho Mo Tun’s remarks drew attention from around the world as he was, in fact, a high-ranking public official who made his first rebellion against the military regime after the coup.
In the international community, it was praised as “brave”, and praised as “hero” in Myanmar.
Then the military government dismissed him from the post of ambassador on the day after the UN speech for’great treason’ against the country.
An employee at the Myanmar Embassy in the United States told the media that “Ambassador Cho Mo Thun’s actions publicly signaled foreign ministry officials to participate in the Civil Disobedience Movement (CDM).”
He added that some of the embassy staff in the United States were also reluctant to accept the coup because they had experience working under national adviser Aung San Suu Kyi.
Earlier, the military government summoned Keiti Soo, who served as the first ambassador of the Myanmar embassy in the Czech Republic earlier last month, Irrawaddy reported.
Ambassador Keitiso is said to have been summoned for revealing which party he voted for in the November general election.
