EU warns Myanmar junta while protests continue
By EUobserver
The EU warned it is considering sanctions on Myanmar while the United States penalised two more generals for links to the military coup, as Western countries sought to press the junta to avoid a violent crackdown after weeks of protests, the Reuters news agency reports. "We are not prepared to stand by and watch," German foreign minister Heiko Maas said in Brussels, adding that sanctions could follow if diplomacy failed.
