BANGKOK — With growing protests over the death sentences imposed by a Thai court on two Myanmar migrant workers for murdering a pair of British tourists, foreign ministers from both countries called for calm yesterday.
Thai Foreign Minister Don Pramudwinai told reporters that he had spoken via telephone with his Myanmese counterpart, Wunna Maung Lwin — with the latter expressing his understanding that the case was not final and would continue through the appeals process.
Both ministers also said that they did not want to see the demonstrations escalate to the point of affecting diplomatic relations.
Mr Don said that the ministry was preparing translated summaries of the court’s decision in Burmese and English and would furnish them to the Myanmar ministry to distribute to the public. (Courtesy of TDAYonline)
