Min Aung Hlaing wades into ruling controversy

Gen Min Aung Hlaing, commander-in-chief of the Myanmar armed forces, has stepped into the public eye in regard to Thai-Myanmar relations following the Koh Tao verdict.

He has asked Thailand for a "review of the evidence" against the two convicted men, the state-run New Light of Myanmar newspaper reported.

Regarding the verdict, we believe and hope that Thai authorities will proceed fairly with the case in accordance with the law," the Irrawaddy quoted in a message from the commander-in-chief's official Facebook page.
