Myanmar civilian envoy pleads with China and Russia to 'stop' junta

TOKYO -- A representative of Myanmar's civilian government in exile on Friday called on other countries to halt arms sales and impose coordinated sanctions on the junta, warning of impending civil war and genocide.

"One phone call from Beijing, one phone call from Moscow can stop these military generals," said Dr. Sasa, an envoy of the Committee Representing Pyidaungsu Hluttaw. "That's what we are asking them to do before this bloodbath happens in the coming days."
