Myanmar's former ambassador to the United Kingdom has gone on trial in London after refusing to leave his official residence following his removal from the post after the country's 2021 military coup.
Kyaw Zwar Minn, 68, appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Wednesday charged with trespass at Myanmar House in north-west London. The charge covers the period from May 2021 to November 2024, after Minn was recalled as ambassador and instructed to hand over state-owned property. He has pleaded not guilty.
