Phnom Penh (FN), Jun. 10 – Cambodian prime minister Hun Sen sent a letter requesting Myanmar's senior general Min Aung Hlaing to reconsider the sentences and refrain from carrying out the death sentences given to those anti-SAC individuals.

"The death sentences and reported planned execution of a number anti-SAC individuals have attracted great concern among ASEAN Member States, as well as ASEAN external partners. Cambodia believes that this planned execution, if indeed carried out, will trigger very strong and widespread negative reaction from international community," according to the letter seen by Fresh News on Friday (Jun 10).

"This will also have a devastating effect on ASEAN and Cambodia's efforts, as the chair of ASEAN, to support Myanmar to return to normalcy and find a peaceful solution to current crisis through an inclusive process of dialogue, in line with the ASEAN's Five-Point Consensus," the letter added.

"Therefore, with deep concern and sincere desire to help Myanmar achieve peace and national reconciliation, I would like to earnestly request you and the State Administrative Council (SAC ) to reconsider the sentences and refrain from carrying out the death sentences given to those anti-SAC individuals."
