Since the coup, the UK has had no senior bilateral engagement with the military regime. The UK continues to raise our concerns publicly about the treatment of journalists. The UK opposes the death penalty in all circumstances. I made this clear in my statement of 7 June in response to reports that the military regime was planning on executing individuals involved in the pro-democracy movement.
