Myanmar’s junta has revoked the citizenship of several members of the opposition government. They include spokesman Sasa and home minister Lwin Ko Latt and human rights minister Aung Myo Min.
The junta says they were found guilty of committing acts that could harm the interests of the country.
The NUG holds no territory and has not been recognised by any foreign government with many of its members in hiding or exile.
