In 1988 — during a failed democracy uprising — soldiers fired into a crowd of protesters, killing thousands. Myanmar Foreign Minister Nyan Win spoke to the U.N.

These killings and raids are unjustified government actions and should not be tolerated by the rest of the world. The U.S. warned Myanmar that it will push for sanctions if the country fails to react to international demand for democratic reform, according to the report.
