YANGON, Feb 19, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - Myanmar's junta has sentenced to death three

brigadier generals who surrendered with hundreds of troops and handed over a
strategic town on the Chinese border to ethnic minority fighters last month,
military sources told AFP on Monday.

"Three brigadier generals including the commander of Laukkai town were given
the death sentence," a military source told AFP on condition of anonymity, as
they were not authorised to talk to the media. Another military source
confirmed the sentencing.
