The UN human rights chief on Monday slammed the execution of four prisoners including a former lawmaker from Aung San Suu Kyi's party and a prominent activist as "cruel and regressive", reports BSS.

"I am dismayed that despite appeals from across the world, the military conducted these executions with no regard for human rights," Michelle Bachelet said in a statement, adding that "this cruel and regressive step is an extension of the military's ongoing repressive campaign against its own people".
