In a powerful speech last month, the Permanent Representative of Myanmar to the United Nations, Kyaw Moe Tun, urged the international community to use "any means necessary to take action" against the military, to help restore democracy in Myanmar. Speaking on behalf of Aung San Suu Kyi's ousted government, he also flashed the three-fingered salute before the UN General Assembly in New York, a gesture against authoritarian rule that has been adopted by anti-coup protesters in the country. Keith Kam speaks to Kyaw Moe Tun about what's happening Myanmar, since the military coup seized control there.
